I'm terrible at screenshots. I just have no mojo for taking a decent shot, with good lighting, from an interesting angle. And gods forbid I want to try and get a shot from in-combat. It's a mess, I tells ya!
When folks make screenshots of their ships for sigs, do you tend to do your own work, or use a second person as a cameraman?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

If you need any help with demorecord ping me here and i can try to help out (if i can remember the commands!). There's some fairly easy tweaks you can use to make amazing differences to a shot.

Thanks guys. I'll re-watch ZEF's videos, including the demorecord, which I don't think I did the last time I looked at this stuff, and come back with any questions.

What are the screenshots for?
Are they just for memories and scrapbook type stuff? Just hit ALT+F12 to remove the HUD/UI for a clean image.
Are they for some interesting wallpapers or forum signatures? ALT+F12 and I would highly recommend increasing the renderscale from the default of 1. Use /renderscale 2 (at minimum) or /renderscale 4 (if your rig can handle it).
Basically, renderscale increases the resolution. It is very noticeable when you view the image afterwards.
To use the renderscale command, you have to type it in the chat box.
Note of caution, you likely do not want to do heavy combat action (i.e. an STF) on higher than renderscale 1. Your GPU could go into overdrive with all of the SFX going on.

What are the screenshots for?
I'd like to at least get one good, clear shot of the IKS VoKor'At with which to make a Signature. If I get that, anything ast that point is just for "scrapbooking", as you put it.

Demorecord is definitely your best bet for that then. You can record a short 30s - 1 min clip of your boat flying or in combat or whatever and then play it back with much more control over what your shot looks like.
You'll be able to change camera angles, resolution, FOV, visible GFX, shield visuals, background objects etc.
The ingame screenshot command is great for quick shots but if you want to really enjoy composing the the shot then being able to playback & pause, together with moving the camera literally anywhere is going to give miles better results you'll enjoy.
