Heavy Metal Sunset

[CSoul 182]

I've contemplated posting these shots for a while and have finally decided to do it.

First three are the MelJet 777. The clouds and bloom effect are courtesy of a scenery package I found at AVSIM (of which I cannot recall the name of right now :smile: ). Unfortunately the conversion to JPG does seem to take a bit of the ambiance out of the shots, so if anyone knows of freeware option that's better than Ulead PhotoImpact 12, I'd really appreciate a link.

The following shot served as the inspiration for the title. On final approach to Kai Tak.

The following is the Posky 747-400.

And my favorite shot. (JF-CLS DC-10)

Hi,

I don't know about jpeg conversion losing any ambience, CSoul, they look great to me.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

They look very atmospheric.

Regards

I really, really like those shots CSoul, perhaps you should turn up the brightness/contrast on your screen?

Here's another shot. This certainly is not 'heavy metal' but it is a sunset. This was one of this months prize screenshot contest shots I took, but decided against using it because I thought it isn't 'bushveld' enough. But it is pretty and so I thought I'd share it (my others are ugly, bushier, but uglier).

Nice Shot. Only thing that ruins it, is that ugly default scenery. The lakes aren't even make properly...
