Congrats to the lucky winner, a deserved shot I think, also a lovely gesture for all entrants, thank you AP. Full Facebook post here
Thanks.... I made so many screenshots, and agonised over which one to send. In the end, I picked at random LOL
There are some awesome shots from the runner's up, so if it's anyone in here, well done. Some are so good I'm getting imposter syndrome actually... but maybe you feel that when you stare at your own stuff for so long. Well done all, whoever you are.
I didn’t enter myself the only packs I am missing from ap are 9 wagon packs any future release I can pick up when they release. However glad someone as active in the community as yourself won.
It's a very good screenshot. I think I see some real-time filters being applied in the colour of the vegetation, but I know that was permitted in the rules. Am I right?
Yes, It used ReShade, which was cleared to be OK by AP. I was very upfront about it, and they said ReShade is fine. It was just post-processing they banned. So long as it's a grab straight from the game, they said it was OK on their Facebook page.
Congratulations Pookeyhead! Imagine my surprise when I saw the winning shot & thought Have I won?? Then I remembered I had not entered as I missed the deadline by an hour! Anyway the reason I was surprised was this, just days ago I had taken nearly the exact same shot! except you have nailed it way better than mine and with added mist! Whats the scenario for the winning shot?? My pic.....
I dunno... Looks exactly the same to me. I think mine has the time set later, so a little more red in the sky, and the mist of course... but damn!... that's spooky! LOL
It's OK... I think many people knew it anyway, and I often post stuff uploaded to me YouTube channel, which is also my real name. It's not like my username is my bank account No. and sort code
I'm terrible with names... it's embarrassing at work parties. I'm the master of talking to people who's name I don't know LOL
And this is what they/he (AP) wasn't looking for, I tried going for a more moody action packed typically British glum weather type scene, which also cleverly (too cleverly for my own good it seemed) highlights AP's better rain particles than the standard effort, and with a soupçon of mist in the background for flavour the recipe was... ...A complete flop.. Still, it earnt me a fiver so that's a fiver more than any other digital media I've produced has..
Congratulations Pookeyhead! What an amazing screenshot. Funnily enough when the competition started I was very, very tempted to make a post on the thread discussing the AP Screenshot Contest when it begun, telling you that you shouldn’t submit anything or no one will have a chance of winning haha!!
Well... it's all installed. Took a while, but it's all on there... the entire AP catalogue. I need a lie down LOL
Welcome to my world, in fact AP missed a trick with me as I own the entire catalogue already so would've been a really cheap winner lol.
Percentage? No idea I was missing a lot. It was mainly EMUs and wagons. I had the coach kits and full loco kits, but I had a few loco EPs missing. A lot of EMU, and EMU EPs missing, and almost all wagons missing. I already had the sky and weather pack, and track pack, but didn't have the signal pack. Perhaps, in terms of a percentage, maybe half missing? Hard to say really.
Nice one Pookeyhead, a deserved winner if ever, that is one fantastic image. I did think the same, as like yourself I would have been a cheap option. I hope there isn't an expiry date on our £5 vouchers, because until AP release their next offering it is currently no use.LOL Nice gesture though and much appreciated.
Thanks The prize is also for everything they release in the future as well though, so I think I'd have still entered even if I had everything.
