Hi, Willy!

You mentioned that you like Corsairs. I had a few shots on the drive. They aren't the greatest in the world but they ARE Corsairs! Thought I would go ahead and post 'em up for 'ya to eyeball. :wink:

Ohhhhhhhhhh mate, they are great shots!! How do you get that sharper and clean aspect? Incredible definition in edges in the first and third shots...

What antialiasing values do you use? What hardware?

Thank you!!

PD: One thing else. Do you have the first shot in bigger size to set up like wallpaper on my rig?

Nice ones.

Thanks a lot, Willy and Slow!

Sharp and clean... Well, these were all before I got 1946 and I THINK that 1946 is even better! Maybe I'm kidding myself but it seems that way. :wink:

I make the captures at 1280 x 960, Willy. That helps a lot! I save them in png file format. It makes for a much larger file BUT the quality is much better. Less compressed than jpg.

The max posting size here is 1024 x 768 and the max they like you to post with a free Photobucket account is 500 MB. So, I usually end up resizing down and converting to jpg. Sometimes I have to sharpen after that or use "Unsharp Mask". At any rate, the quality of what you see posted is nothing like the quality of a 1280 x960 png file! hock:

As far as antialiasing, Willy, I alway use the max. In this case it is "8xS". The "S" means more quality with less of a hit on frame rates.

Hardware:

AMD Sempron 2800+

Nvidia GeForce 6800 GS

Asus K8N MOBO

1 GB RAM

I had an ATI Radeon X800XL, which was even better, but it died after a year! :lol:

There are lots of tricks to buying hardware, Willy. Often, less expensive, older stuff gives better results than the current "top of the line" stuff. You can see that my rig is quite modest and uses older components. It cooks though! No overclocking at all. Gotta do a LOT of homework though to get the scoop! :wink:

Sorry, Willy. I don't have it bigger. I have it the same size in png, which is a little better quality, BUT it's a much larger file size.

Don't forget to post more of your images when you get a chance. It's nice to see fresh, unique work! :!:

Take a look at Mike's new posts while you're here, especially "Thunder". I'm sure he would like to hear your comments.

Thanks again for the kind words.

Heys Fats....your photos are awesome. Sorry if you've already answered this but what photo editing software do you use?

I've had "some" success with photo editing but when I ask my 13 year old to critique my work she says I should just stick to flying and let others do the art work. hock:

1 and 3 ,top job!!

Well, I replied here once but my comments seem to have disappeared so I'll try again. :wink:

Thanks a lot, Thud and Mike!

I'm using a way old version of Photoshop, Thud. :wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol: Well, see, there's your problem, Thud. Never ask for critique, especially from family. Just post! :lol: This is a pretty "safe" and friendly place to post. I haven't seen anyone getting on people's images, tearing them apart or nit picking. :roll:

Please post some of your stuff. I'd like to see it and I'm sure I'll enjoy it and so will everyone else!
