Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

The screenshot is nothing special but the Realair Spitfire is a "mean machine" and the shot shows just how real it gets.
I pinched the registration off a NZ Warbird. Apologies!

Not a bad shot at all but a small tip - when you save your image as a JPEG, make sure you use a higher image quality setting. At lower settings JPEGs start to bleed and you can see evidence of this around the edges of the aircraft and particularly the 'W' and letters where it is quite pixelated.

The file size suggests that this was in fact saved at a high setting (I get the same size at 90% quality, which is higher than I'd normally save for the web). It would be interesting to know how you made this image, Richard.
(I've been thinking about an image using this very aircraft, so I'm glad you've established it as a 'mean machine'.)

This screenshot was taken using Fraps with the JPG setting ticked. The shot was resized from 800X600 to 884X771 - marginal increase. I understand the bleeding effect using the JPG format but I'm not sure how I should go about using a higher image quality setting.

Ah, that'd make sense -- I think that the resizing has just made the JPEG artefacts more noticeable. Maybe a resize isn't really required -- when you win, Trolly can just add a logo to one side to fill in the space...

C'mon guys, I know summer has struck but I'm sure you can find time to post a single entry here!

Here is my offering, the mean yellow DHL cargo machine- oh if only the sound pack included with this model could be displayed with a picture... it roars just like the real beast, regually seen at Auckland International, although seen here departing Woodbourne:


Only four more days to go! And I'm going to be nice and let the newer members' shots contend for prizes also ;) So get posting!
