Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Okay, so I took Iain's advice and installed his REX theme, restored system to pre-PTA settings, and went to my newest Australian airport, YMND. Most of them are with AS16 off, the last several with a different color sky is with real weather on. I'm very happy, most impressed and plan on keeping these, I will try Patrick's too though. But I have wanted mine to look like Iain's for a while and here they are. I made only one change to improve frames in the last two or three shots, and that was to go to 2046 instead of 4K. You guys knew this was coming right? Now with AS16 on with real weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Julio, but all the credit goes to Iain for sharing his settings. I disabled PTA, installed his REX theme, and made the same HDR settings and voila, instant Iain shots. They really make the water look amazing, I thought the same myself when I was just flying a little bit ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hi Jack, Great shots! Love the usual upside down one Feedback - not criticism in any shape or form - for me the shots are very slightly dark and the whites on the aircraft are a little too bright. It could be my monitor settings etc. Or it may just be my personal preferences Anyway, I am only trying to assist you my friend. Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there will be some minor HDR adjustments. Since removing PTA I'll only have three adjustments to make. Always seeking better screenshots, even if they're inverted.

Stillwater Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Amazing developments, Jack. I really like the shots with AS16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1252 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Lookin' good, Jack. Definitely the sort of colour tones that I prefer. And yes, Paul's comment about the whites - I have trouble getting the balance right. For me, it varies very much depending on the camera angle of the shot - I can move the camera up or down a bit and the aircraft will catch the light and flare enormously, and when I try and correct, it can suddenly feel like the sun just went behind a big dark cloud and the whole picture has gone gloomy on me. Still haven't figured that one out. Playing with the HDR settings just moves the 'hot spot' up or down the scale usually - I just get the flare-up at a different sort of angle.

Couldn't agree more, it seems it's very difficult, as Adam banks says, to find a perfect setting for all times of day. But this is now a new thing for me and I really like it. I'll be doing some fine tuning but I have to say, I have always been struck by the what I call, "warm and fuzzy" look of Iain's shots. So I'm glad I went with this look, it makes me want to fly everywhere now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
