Awesome effort, I like the lighting in the background. I think you would of benefited from a more dramatic angle and less compression in the shot.

Look into Infrafiew or Paint.net for resizing your shots and maybe FSRecorder which gives you more control over the spot views Wink

I really like the shot because of the lightning and the lights in the building Smiley.  Just a tad over compressed.

Not bad. One thing I would try is not "perching" the plane on the horizon. But thats just my take.

Also at that altitude, I think some flaps may help.

Interesting shot, certainly got the right idea, but to me it seems a little flat...theres no depth to it. Could be the way its lit.

However the lightning is cool! Well captured!

Cool! Hong Kong! I obviously like Hong Kong!

The lighting is nice but I'm not too sure about the angle or lighting. It indeed looks a bit plain.
Try using the (free) Recorder Module or the (also free!) Flight1 View Module to get some interesting angles.

BTW: I think the approach to Kai Tak is a little more to the left Roll Eyes

Thanks for all the comments!

I see what you mean about having the plane on the horizon and  Embarrassed at forgetting the flaps.

I will also try to get the Recorder Module and/or the Flight 1 View Module.

...and I'm not going to Kai Tak, I'm going to the runway into my SECRET UNDERGROUND LAIR... Wink
