Description

I'm not sure if I'm happy with this or not, but here it is. Wanted to do something different so I thought I'd try this 1941 scene in grainy black and white. This is what would have been going on in the skies above my home at the time. The 109 is from '3DCafe', the Spitfire is from '3DSpecial' and the background is an aerial photograph from 'GetMapping'. Rendered in R8 with post work in Photoshop 7. Be gentle, I'm not well! Mak

Needs tracer rounds. :o) Maybe a bit more on the motion blurring... but other than that... terrific job!

Interesting you should mention those comments Mo. I was going to add tracers, but thought, "no, the spitfire hasn't got him in his sites yet"... and, I did have more motion blur originally, but it seemed to take something away from it. Maybe I'll try another version later in this sequence. My may concern was that this should be in the 'Mixed Media' section and not here! Thanks. VH

Yep, certainly a far cry from the great architectural scenes you have done but this is exceptionally composited.The grainy feel has captured the era quite well and the fact that it is in black and white has given the picture impact.Great work..Nice to change ones direction..

Thanks to all! 'odeone', just for your interest, it isn't composited as such. I placed the photo on to a plane (no pun intended!) so it was part of the render. VH
