The last known photo of SS Astral.
She was sunk Aug 9, -40 at 0715 in the Irish Sea.
She was hit by two torpedoes from U-53.

Glad you noticed the resemblance to the "Arrow" tankers - the "Astral" seems to have been a near-sister ship of that class.

I actually took that from the log (SH3Cmdr).
Credit should go to Sailor Steve

Sorry, just had to say it.

Gonna third this one.

And this is said before in the thread.

My tips for ppl who post to the thread (And these are MY OPINIONS):

- Think the camera placement. You can have the best Black & White effect in the world, but if the camera seems to be just floating in midair or in unnatural position, it ruins the shot.
- Check from youtube for guncamera videos and some websites for photos. THey usually are blurry and have quite an exposure on them (dark areas are VERY dark and white areas are VERY bright).
- Taking an screenshot and making a white border around it isnt and "realistic photo". It is just an screenshot with a white border, not belonging to this thread.
- And lastly, and maybe the most important, line your shot so that the focus is on the object you want it to be in. E.g. if you want ppl to see your uboat, dont take a shot with 2 merchants on the foreground with your uboat as a small dot in the background. Seems self-explnatory, but I see this alot.

For the sake of realism, make it look believable to the bird you are showing: This is me in WWII
