Apologies for not doing this last night, but I didn't get home until quite late. Ok... so many interesting images. Why did I pick this theme? Here we go. In Third Place: I'm a railfan obviously and his wonderfully atmospheric shot from the West Rhine line. In Second Place: NEC Railfan. A really great atmosphere to this shot, and the lighting is great. And in First Place: paulc and this great night time scene. I thought it was a great location for a night time shot with the track side lighting and there's just enough residual ambient light to convey darkness without any complete blackout areas. I love it. Well done everyone. Lots of entries this week, and pretty much every shot was good. I'm glad I picked this theme now. Really interesting images from all. So over to you paulc. I wonder what theme you will choose
Thanks for the win! made my weekend that bit more enjoyable! Part of the Sim experience for me anyway is talking shots & showing how good it can look with decent DLC & shot composure New thread up - https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-contest-2022-week-37.59623/
