That first one is amazing. Except I think the prop should be a tad larger Undecided

Pretty nice looking, but I agree about the prop size on #1. Also the prop disk on the Porter in #3 just seems to stand out a lot, isn't as well blended and transparent as your others, but still a nice shot.

Thanks for your helpful comments! I think the prop in #1 is the right size, but maybe it looks small because of the white on the tips? It does seem to fit the very faint prop disc there, but I might be wrong... I'll pay more attention to this when I create a new shot with prop for editing...I think the angle came out okay though. I used Simplex's tute on Screenshotart.com.

#3 does have a weak prop disc rendition - it comes with the model, and I didn't think to try to change it. Good point though!

#1 is excellent. Shocked

You chaps are amazing. I wouldn't even attempt to do anything like that. I think cloud9flyer is right about that prop though. I know it's the wrong type of Cessna but this might give you an idea. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/da-IMG_6058-shor.jpg

Thanks Hagar! It's scenery of Gdansk.... I tried to make it look as 3d as possible while retaining it's FSness....

Most 'editing' isn't that hard, just playing around and practice.... Taking great photos of real planes in flight... now that's an art!!!

About the prop - well, I'll bow to everyone's judgement then....

Next time I'll pay more attention, it didn't turn out to be as difficult to do the prop as I thought it would be, so I'll have another go another day.

Nice of you to say so but I was in the back row when artistic talent was handed out. The quality of FS is so good now I get a lot of inspiration from the screenies sections.

I'm still not sure about that prop. Have a look at this. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/da-IMG_6386-shor.jpg

The daft thing being that I spend a lot of time trying to make props look invisible. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/da-IMG_5707-shor.jpg

LOL

Why though? Prefer them like that?

I've just started with adding props to screenshots.... one of the trickier editing 'techniques'... I'm not going to bother with every shot I post, but I want to learn this effect.

The idea is to get a nice prop disc as you would see with your own eyes. This isn't as easy as it might seem & a lot depends on things like the lighting conditions, the engine revs, number of blades & of course the colour of the prop. Almost every aircraft type is different & requires different shutter speed settings.

Aha! I see, makes sense now... you're shooting yourself in the foot here though Hagar with your 'I'm not talented' pitch combined with your obviously accomplished camera know-how and skills... protest how you like Hagar, we all know you're a pro. Or at least a semi-pro Wink

I would love to get in and comment on all the excellent photo forum shots, including yours, but I sadly just cannot manage everything with my family, a heavy workload etc... but I always head for your posts first when I go in there... and Heathaze's, of course.

Off to bed now, 'night all!

If only you knew how I struggle. LOL People like Heathaze are the pros. I'm learning but ever so slowly. Roll Eyes

Good fun though. If it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing.
