Also, @Mr.X those were my first casualties for SS Regt 22.  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 😉

 i've never noticed the 'lens' artifacts before like in the first pic in-game before.   in a real photograph  each of those 'ghost' circles represents one glass lens element in the camera lens as light goes through it at a non-perfect angle- if that makes any sense.  cool to see that the game reproduces this,  it's another touch that adds to the overall realism.

 

I think you can even turn on/off the lens flare effect!

4 solid shots- my favorite would be the last one with the tank riders,  really good composition  of the wedge or 'spearhead'  thrusting forward. i also like that all of the added color of the faces is concentrated in the mass of tank riders- it really draws the eye.  damn, i wish this one was mine...  wouldn't disown the others, either.

 

cheers,

rob

Thanks Rob.  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. :)

I LOVE all of these!!!  Totally the "right there" moment.  I especially love the last two.  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

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 ! 😄

Cheers
