Thank you JP, I will try that on the seaside part.

I'm currently working on the middle of the map. I still have a couple of things to change but it would be finished pretty soon

Also, I've planned to edit the atmosphere a little bit, I find the current one too dark to be played. I will probably change the sky as well.

I'll post new shots as soon as possible

cool pics! Did you meet up with any mapcore people from stockholm?

I met some Swedish but no one from mapcore

Yo thats like the 6th picture you have posted from that same hill, dawg. Find some new locations!

Hehe, that was the last one from there . Anyway I begin to find my country very boring since the harvest is finished.

I'm going to try shooting my town soon. It hasn't got an Eiffel Tower or an Arc du Triomphe but it's such a wonderful city though

Some other pics taken in Stockholm

Hi everybody,

I've just come back from 3 weeks spent in (the outstanding) Stockholm and around. I took tons of pictures so here're a couple of them.

I still have a lot of pictures to treat and panorama to make, so I'll upload several other images in the upcoming days.

Just another shot from France, taken this morning

J'adore !! : )

The dog's tail looks a little bit weird though...

Had a storm this morning, unfortunately I didn't managed to catch a lightning

Next time I'll try to take photo somewhere else

Quote from Jenn0_Bing

but as i was shooting in low light i needed to use my tripod, as such i could only get to about 50cm off the floor at it's lowest setting.

Use your tripod like this and you won't have a similar problem any more

If you don't have any supports on the premises you can also use your fist as support.

Quote from Punky

Yeah I try to do that as much as possible, but sometimes it's really hard to get the skater entirely in your shot, but I'll keep practicing on taking skateboarding pics, I like doing it

You must take low angle shots in order to have the whole body. Don't hesitate to squat or to lay you down

Check some skateboarding pictures as example.

Thanks guys

Quote from JeanPaul

Some properly placed military flood lights would look incredible

Thank you JP.

I used to have a discussion about that in a French forum and I don't know how to set up that kind of thing. Indeed I try to do something as realist as possible and I think to set up any spotlights would be quite out of place... I mean, the context is the following one: the town has just been bombarded to allow allied's landing on the beach. Why would Axis lit the sea? or why would Allied lit the town?

In fact, I'd like to use some fire sprites to bring light on by setting up blazes... but the standard fire sprite doesn't fit well and I don't know how to make animated sprites (quite like this)

Presently, I think I won't change the lighting. I'll work this out later

However, if you have any ideas in mind, I'll look forward them

Thank you

Another non-HDR batch:

Although I enjoy them, I don't really like the angle they're taken from. I think they could be far better with another point of view which could bring out more dynamism, mainly for inside shots, play with lines!

Generally, the more the point of view is low and near by a wall or suchlike, the more the picture is dynamic

Hey eveyone,

pfeww, I haven't come over this thread for a long time...

Weeell, I was working on that map for many months when I had to stop after getting some huge problems with hammer and dods 8 months ago... but...

I'm working on it again, so here're some pictures about the seaside part which is almost finished:

I still have a really annoying problem with that sand blend texture which switch when covering up by water and I absolutely have no idea on how to correct that...

Thanks guys : )

Quote from Punky

Stunning photos :monocle: ! Have any of the landscape pics on desktop size?

Actually, my photos don't fit for desktop because they're not planned for that, mainly panoramas.

Otherwise you'll have horrendous distortions...

I presently use the one at dawn with the mist as desktop image but the left and the right side are both cut off...

By the way if someone knows how to avoid these horrendous shades at the top right corner, thanks to let me know : )

Ok, I know that method but it's very long as compared with HDR treatment. The result is quite nice though. Just pity that the halos are so visible.

Hi,

Are the buildings shots HDR?

Thank you

Quote from DvS

Yeah, I didn't intend to do anything of the sort, too expensive for my DIY tastes

DIY = do it yourself?

This spot is probably on the lens, a simply soft brush is enough to take it out (a brush can also be used (cautiously) on the sensor to remove that kind of things)

First attempt at panorama 180°

You get a dirty spot on the left of the building...
