Lens flares are a pretty big sign of 'I'm trying to make this photoshop look cool with little effort'. While they fit in decently well in the context of space, they still look a bit..amateurish, and I would have kept with the nice contrast of lighting already in the game.

Other than that, I think they look great.

Thanks for the tips, but where would the sunflares go to be in the right place. Or are you talking relitive to the actualy map position of the sun?

They look nice from a regular joe Shmoe point of view but if I were to crit them.

I would have to point out that most of your sunflares are in the wrong places or have no place in the screenshot at all.

and the blue effect at the back of the Gallofree in Final encounter looks kinda weird.

Desperation is the best imo.

I have added a new one called "Targeted", could a mod rename this topic to "Megajames75's gallery".

Ok, I have just added Final Encounter, and I have created Imperial Might II which has not got the blur. I am going to take some ground pictures but there rarely are spectator servers and the ones that are are mostly space.

I am also looking into a few ways to improve general picture quality.

The zoom blur effect was added by me, thanks for the encouragement, I will do some more soon. Please also tell me which bits of the photos you think work well.

Yea.. me too. I've been trying to get some good shots.. I usually grab screenies with XFIRE, but since the last XFIRE update.. screenshots sometimes work.. sometimes they don't.. I have to log out of XFIRE and then back in sometimes to get it to work.

FRAPS is also very good with screenshots, including the free version.

I have just finished a few more before going off the school, these are Imperial Might, The Fight Goes On, Belly of the Beast, and Hopeless. Some comments would be nice.

I spent some time last night in spectator and took some pictures, I have then made some edits to them. I will update this thread when some more are finished but here are a few to give you a taster, Oblivion and Desperation.
