Mountain backdrop
Description: A simple landscape, carefully lit. The model came from DAZ, the mountains are terrains, the light is a combination of moonbluegrey.hdr (by Horo) and a radial light (pretending to be the sun). The rotor "effect" is just a semi transparent stripe in appropriate mapping - this is of course the effect you would expect to see because of scan interference between shutter speed and rotor speed - not what you would find on a photo still - but it is the effect I wanted for this image. Light probe lighting quality 128. Oh, and also, the sky - that's a photo I took. Not a real bryce sky. Just an image placed in the scene.

Very beautiful mountains and the sky is also incredible! Is that a rescue chopper? Very nice lighting also. Thanks for your comments on my last piece. I think it took longer to come up with the idea than to put it in Bryce. You get my vote! 5/5 : )

By a strange coincidence, I've just watched a chopper quite akin to this (Superpuma) land and take off through the security cameras a few hours ago and the upper part of this picture could be a photograph of what I've seen. The mountains look very real to me. The blue tint on the distant mountains may come from the hdri. Outstandingly real looking picture. 5/5 for this one.

Could be a photo there, but in any case extremely well blended. This semi transparent rotor effect worked great. As far as the model, the sky and the mountain material, everything looks real enough. Because of the sun position at first I thought that the shadow in the center of the pic is the one of the helicopter, but right after I noticed that it is caused by the mountain peak in the center. A little confusing shadow casting. I'm not sure which one could do more good but either changing the POV or changing the shadow direction might "fix" this confusion I'm talking about. But as I see, I think I'm the only one to notice that so perhaps it's just me, David. Impressive work nontheless.

Great job. Looks like a Carrara landscape. You do a masterful job at blending image skies into Bryce scenes.

Got my 5/5!

I thought this was a carrara render for a moment because of the motion blur/alpha channel. everything looks good to me, is the helicopter not over the mountain I couldn't spot a shadow from it.
5/5

Thanks! The shadow of the helicopter, because of the position of the "fake" sun would fall on the ground behind the camera out of the FOV. In truth the sun is far too close to the terrain to represent a "real" view - but I compromised for effect - if it were visible, it would be either behind of very nearly behind the chopper. This of course is not reflected in the light falling on the clouds - but I figured if it was not visible I could get away with that. Sort of did... until folks started asking awkward questions about shadows...
