Decreasing the Factor you get a narrow angle and a Zoom-Effect. This means you can take fa away objects close to you. An interesting effect is, that it also makes the background more "dense". | Decreasing the Factor you get a narrow angle and a Zoom-Effect. This means you can take fa away objects close to you.

== Lighting and Daytime == | |||
The most appealing photos in RealLife are made in the morning or evening. The light has a warm color, the shadows and ambient colors are soft and long which gives fantastic impressions. The noon gives hard shadows and strong contrasts, hard to deal with. | |||
This applies for FlightGear as well. So play a bit with the daytimes, especially Dawn/Morning/Afternoon and Dusk. Play as well with the seasons and locations. In the winter near the poles the sun is low, while near the aequator the sun is standing high in the sky. As an example this gives nice effects with the shaders on the water. | |||
