Hi Doug,

These shots are showing how much you have improved your screenshooting ability Cool

First one:
What can I say ? Basically, you did EVERYTHING right. Simple as this. The plane in not in the center of the shot, the "empty ground surface" is kept out of the shot, the view angle is chosen wisely (nice view of the plane, nice view of the sun, nice global colors and lighting), there is nothing "blurry" or "empty" or anything that would be bad. Good work !

Second shot
Classic, but a good classic Wink

Third shot
Postal card ! Cool

Fourth shot
Good VC shot. The only remark that I could make is that VC shots should be taken when there is something really interesting to see. For example, the distant airport, or some cool mountains, or some impressive dawn/dusk colors. In your case, the landscape looks good, so it's fine.

Fifth shot
This one is quite cool, but the background scenery is a little bit blurry. You should try to take this shot using the right wing view, moving the camera to a similar location (which will take a while, give the low camera speed...), put the plane our of the center... somewhere on the left of the picture, and use a little bit smaller zoom, to limit the visiblity of the blurries. The zoom should not be too small, else the background mountains will get too small... but I think you might be able to get the same view angle, with the mountains and that magnificient sun+sky.

Cheers,
Stephane, in Germany for the full week Cry

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Yes I'm glad that I've got a photographer that can do her justice.

Wow, Doug......great shots ......#3 is beautiful Cool

Great job on the repaint Andy

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
