They actually stopped to aid friends and then got hit by two incoming arty rounds. The two guys laying behind the tracks, also didn't fare well... Nearby their escape they have died...tragic fate for them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can even turn on/off the lens flare effect! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one I just moved the sun out of the frame and the flare disappeared. The sun has to be in screen to get them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked these too. Once again, and agreeing with all you have said before, there is nothing like CM in how it really can give you a visceral sense of history like no other game precisely because of being literally able to dissect every part of those one minute segments almost infinitely. Usually, my pics come from me pausing the game at some moment and then finding shots from all over the battle field at precisely that moment. You'll see that a lot of mine have no time progression but are all just shots from way different angles, perspectives, and locations but all at that one moment of time. I think the tank rider pic is definitely one of my all time favs so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just excellent!! aw, shucks, cap'n.... thank you. i've been happier with some of my more recent shots lately and those 2 i was pretty proud of. they were only possible because mr. pye's invisible floors let me shoot upward from beneath the subject . i might have to start looking for more situations that can give a lower vantage point than our usual "camera 1" level. also really liking the way zooming in gives the same 'flattening ' effect between near and far objects as a telephoto lens- useful for more 'graphic design' type composed shots, as well as 'bringing everything closer". fun, fun, fun! cheers, rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very difficult to keep a position like this, when you dont stop the game to take a screenshot,... most of the time you dont see nothing more and fall in water with your camera, and asking you what what happened !
