I've always loved the weather, snow and rain, moving past the plane in flight. SW SW, agreed. There is something dynamic about those meteorological shots. Half the time, my shots don't look like anything was done once they are shrunk down! Deacon, I sometimes have the urge to redo the shot because I feel the effect is too subtle. Maybe need to start adding the original images to compare the differences.

Well, the original of the last one is in the Screenshots thread. For the most part I like the effect at larger sizes. It looks like a full sized painting. Shrunk down to 1650, it loses a lot of the detail. Some of the more pronounced shots here look more like, say 8x10 sized paintings where the oils look a little less sharp. I tend to prefer the larger sizes since I have always been reminded of the big oils of artists like Stokes when looking at WOFF shots. Something like this shot where the lines are still pretty sharp. The portrait shots of course show more of the texture. I just have to accept that in the default viewing size on the webpage, the effect is diminished. I'd love to be able to post a 2k shot, but understand the size limitations. Ah well, they look good on my desktop!

Worry not Gentlemen. Just thinking aloud.

Well, actually your shot above (love the paint job BTW) reminds me more of a large oil where the details are very sharp. The lower one is very cool and the trees and the clouds particularly look hand painted. I think the aircraft look just a hair softer which gives (me) the impression of a courser brush or a smaller canvas. On the web page though, the lower shot really highlights the paintedness of the picture, where the upper looks more like the direct screenshot. All subjective of course. Both shots look cool and I could absolutely see someone thinking they were paintings. For my own part, the shots that I really think come out looking cool in 2k, lose much of the effect as I resize them...even if I resize them first. Another great artist is our own Roen. I think he really captures the surreal quality of a good aviation painting. That almost too sharp to be real quality. I'm hoping that he doesn't mind me posting one of his images here:

Way to go, Steve! And not a scratch on you. Fullofit, close quarters huh? Yeah, almost too close. I always press the pause button when one thing flies close to another thing. Usually good shots come out of it.

Fullofit, well, not yet! There's always the talk about immersion on the forum, but I can't help hitting pause and enjoying the sights. Really a dream come true. SW I fly recreationally, so I don't mind the pause button either. Otherwise you'd see cockpit views only. Did you meet those Gothas in a campaign, or did you set up a QC mission? Nice soft glow effect BTW.
