Almost every screenshot in the exchange had been photoshopped one way or another. Some look like crap, others are a joy for the eye. What do you think is the most beautiful screenshot posted on the site?

My vote goes to Mamba's screenshot by Barone (http://www.coastercrazy.com/track_exchang ... ?tid=12124), but I also like the screens of Canadmos' Monolith, dcs' Breaking Point and Jakizle's SCWC [:)]

Hover by Muella.

I only like the odd screenshot to be honest. Theres only a few people on this site i think really have a knack for presenting their rides so nicely. A good screenshot means alot as well.

I think any screenshot that makes you say "I want to ride that!" is a great screenshot. Coasterguy, that one covers it perfectly, as I downloaded it the minute I saw the page.

4-Skyrush | 5-Iron Rattler | 6-X2 | 7-Kingda Ka

^ can be pretty easily done.

I think when users use the 'follow' cam (press 'E' twice in sim) you get a very realistic human perspective. Before i discovered how to do it i used to think people where really profesional with thier screenies.

My favorite ever is Megablast by Buster... mainly because it shows the trains with lights.

Overall a really skilled piece of work.

Which reminds me! Architects more recent projects have very good screenshots.

Iron Man also buckles down and gets 'em done very well.

I'd barely remember screenshots from rides. But when i look at my own screenshots i'd think that Bloodrush has the best screenshot which took me some editing time :)

Are you kidding? I love your screens with the enormous lifthills on them, with Meteora being my favorite

I like almost all of the screenshots posted on this site. I guess that is because it is so easy to get a good shot in NL. BTW, is this thread just for the NL screenshots? Not bragging but I think my UR screenshots are worth a mention too.[:)]

Yours are generally very good, G. Especiallly with URDC, it's really impressive to see a nicely edited shot!

Thanks Gerst, you're pretty awesome too!

I like action shots like this because they are so hard to catch just the way you want them. Kudos![;)]
