OMG! Trying to pick a winner from this lot is going to be a nightmare, Keep them coming they are all amazing.
The time has come for me to try and pick a winner. I really want to award first place to all of you, I have seriously enjoyed seeing your contributions they are just amazing. Eventually I have decided to narrow it down to:- In 3rd Place - Blazin for this cracking shot of Newton Abbott, it is like a photo from a history book. In 2nd Place & runner up for this week - Pookyhead for this amazing Castle & Western shot And finally just had to go with this brilliant shot 1st place and the honour of picking next week's theme goes to Buynot. The clever use of depth of field really enhances the sense of a speeding loco. Well done. Thanks to all for taking the time to contribute, I now hand over the Master Key to Buynot to take us all forward.
Great shots this week and worthy winners. Apologies for being absent for the last few weeks in these competitions, I've been busy remodelling my home and with family issues so not had much time to play and grab some shots.
Thank you so much! New thread is up and can be found here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-contest-2022-week-23.55642/ FYI I didn't use depth of field, I actually stuck it in photoshop and used the motion blur tool.
Oooh, in that case I might have to rethink Whatever you used it just worked, it really captured the sense of speed in a still image. That's the main reason I love this thread, you can be as creative as you like by any means available to you. Keep them coming
