You are taking this into the view of someone who has seen this for the first time. Although you are correct, it is very hard to get screenshots that are this good. As well as that, consider the fact that every mech is moving, and there is a delay in when the screenshot is taken(even if it is a small delay). Asside from that, if you have not noticed it yet, there is a dual AC of some sort next/beside the Dire Wolf Firing, thus even giving more information on it: Lorded was around battle while all this was going on, and he managed to get a good screenshot off, even if it doesn't follow the rule of thirds.

He asked for help and advice, so I gave it to him... Don't be a fanboy...

No this is exactly what I have been asking for, and never getting. Please would you be ever so kind as to offer critique on what is "good" and what is "bad".

I would not know enough to GIVE decent critiques

Thank you Catalinasgrace, that is exactly what I wanted. People often confuse critique with being rude.

I appreciate what you have said and will look into it further. I have been making an effort to be more and more picky about my screenshots, and this is exactly the kind of thoughtful criticism I have been waiting on.

Thanks again.

A lot of people cannot give critique without being rude
Which is technically covered in what you said - but also technically different
Thus (possibly) still needs saying.

[Lordred]

I dont photograph during CW. Thought if some Liao group wanted me too I could.

Heh...just spend one life doing it. And tell your opponents. xD Maybe they'll oblige you.

Ha fanboy? ... maybe I am... secretly...


Aside from that, wasn't upset or trying to be rude, I just typed. Without thinking.

We photographers deal in things that are constantly vanishing, and when they have vanished, there is no contrivance on earth which can bring them back again. Composition must be one of our constant preoccupations, but at the moment of shooting it can stem only from our intuition, for we are out to capture the fugitive moment, and all the interrelationships involved are on the move. To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organisation of forms which give that event its proper expression.

This has been my thought as I take screenshots lately, composition has been second place, I was aware of it, but did not try to force it. It would appear some very successful photographers have agreed with me, but I will still try to improve the art.

Again thanks for the critique Catalinasgrace, I plan to improve the quality of my shots in every way possible.

Take a picture of your tank crew from last night. I'm pretty sure the loss of a proud 100 ton tank to 5 measly Fleas without so much as a single point of damage dealt would necessitate a brutal punishment indeed (or at least a mountain of shame)

[Scout Derek]

Alright, ETA on Photoshop drop in 20 min-30min.

[Scout Derek]

Heres to Lorded for the screenshots(). Silken and the Golden Dire Wolf pilot.

[990Dreams]

Totally raw, no edits, and in a PUG match even.

[xSONOHx]

Well, since so much stuff's been uploaded today I guess I'll join in.
Ancient image edits, not my own screenshots. Got more variants of each image displayed in the spoiler that have not been uploaded.

The Raven with the party hat is the silliest and newest edit but it's about a year old by now.

Spoiler

Edit: Uploading new screenshots in a day or two.

ok here is just a quick and dirty example of third lines to give you an idea. it is just the simple crop tool in PS but it shows the 3rd lines clearly so you can get the general idea.

if you would have looked a bit more to the left and brought that third line over the cockpit center line of the Direwolf it would look better as well as brought the maddog more into the scene.
