Most of you don't know that I've been using Deviant Art to host the screen shots of my completed skins. About a week ago I saw an opportunity to do a little free advertising so I've been uploading my images to different groups to try and show off what the game has to offer. I've been focusing most heavily on groups specializing in aviation or WWII and it's starting to look like it might be working. Some of the pics I've been showing off have been Favorited by several different people and the number of views on these pics has gone up quite a bit, so I know that they've been getting attention.
I'm throwing this up here because while I can get a good screen shot for my skins, I'm not very good at screen shots for fights and showing off the more action packed parts of the game. I was thinking maybe some of the people in the community could work their magic and show off what the game really has to offer.

Here's are a few of mine that I like. I'm not the best screenshotter though and I know some people in here can pull off some really sweet looking shots.

The 11th has an album. If you like this one I could throw up some more:

I can send some tonight from various arena's and special events

Where's Brooke and his huge number of BoB screenies???

Cool idea. Just make sure you unaltered screenshots. Nothing will generate bad press more than someone seeing a heavily Photoshopped "screenshot" and finding out the in-game graphics are substantially different. Even a little color filter, light anti-alias or gaussian blur effect is enough to not use a picture.

a few of my collection if you want to use them. they are unaltered screenshot straight from the film viewer :salute

How can these pictures make the observer not want to saddle up and join in if they are presented with a context of this is what you can be part of every day?
We have an expectation of numbers in our game and are accustomed to flying and fighting in groups. Gotta admit heterogeneous groups of plane types have more visual impact. Or historic mixed groups that most people have seen at one time or another from cable TV.
Sitting back and looking at all of these pictures, you have to realize how much we take for granted that many games cannot or do not provide when it comes to the sheer numbers we can bring together to engage in air combat at any given time.

Some of these are really good, you guys should defiantly throw them up on DA. I don't want to take credit for your work (plus, it may be more effective if multiple people are playing up the awesomeness of the game).

Good point, the only editing I do with my screen shots is adding the AH logo to a corner and correcting the color of the canopy glass since it usually comes out to be various shades of green on my computer.
These are the ones that I've shared so far:

If anyone is going to upload these themselves they should let me know, otherwise I've downloaded the ones I like most and will throw them up in the next couple of days... maybe... I don't know really... They'll go up when they do. :uhoh

Tanks, anyone got shots of tanks?

Ask greebo if you can grab a few of his screen shot of those his skins.

Hi Dragon Tamer,
I found these in my old Photobucket account-- a couple of the P-38 skins I did for the game. They are edited/enhanced though, but maybe that qualifies them as 'art'. And for sure there is something 'deviant' about the P-38 ;)

I saw a few very old screenshots. I would not recommend adding old screenshots as it would not be representative of the current game. :salute

Looks like you blurred the background but kept the plane in focus. That's a nice touch, and still is representative of the game. The biggest thing that I wouldn't consider representative is replacing the terrain with an aerial photo of a landscape. I like both of these shots and will definitely upload them when I get the chance.

Agreed.

I've been looking for some Luftwaffe base shots, I may tighten this shot up a bit by cutting off the right hand side if you don't object.

Yep, that's one thing I do. I also reduce the saturation level of the background a bit so the aircraft stands out better. And, sometimes I increase the contrast and/or brightness of the aircraft.
Like your page there, DT! Nice that you are giving AH a presence on Deviant Art....

Awesome shots!!
Free advice, though two thoughts. First, only post realistic shots. Second, in the marketing world they say it takes the customer 7 views before they stop to consider what it is they are watching.
The first point, there is a shot of an F4U having hosed a 190. I am pretty certain they never met in WW2, though a great shot! Second, post and post away. It will take many, many views before some stop to smell the roses and Google AH. I remember seeing the TV ads on one of the cable shows for the umpteenth time before I got onto the computer and Googled AH.
And when I stop being ticked off I'll be back.
