Thanks Kalthis :)

I'm using Natural Environments too, Codex, I love it. Really no complaints, except that it seems to have messed up Beaming Sunglare, but oh well.
Looks funny Xaeryx, I remember when I first installed the COBL beauty pack everyone had googly-eyes because it conflicted with Beautiful People. Was kinda funny, but mostly creepy, heh.
Good pics Codex, I like the first the best. Anvil is such a picturesque city.

Haven't played much since school started, finally got some time to take some pics.

Finally went over to Imageshack for the full-size images.

Nice ones, Bode. The first one looks like Minas Morgul from a distance.

Natural Environments do improve the graphics quite a lot. Though when running RAEWID and Better Cities as well, my gpu struggles to keep up with everything everywhere.

Yeah, I've had some performance issues as well. I had QTP3 installed for a while (amazing mod), but had to uninstall it since I CTD'd outdoors constantly. I got RAEVWD to replace it, and have my game running pretty smoothly with only the core files, which I'm happy enough with. NE doesn't seem to affect performance at all, which is great, because at this point I'd hate to have to play without it.
I've never tried Better Cities, although I'm thinking of trying Bravil Blood & Mud. It any good?

Personally, I don't like it. It's a bit "too much" for my liking.

Okay, here goes. My first contribution to The Photographer's Guild... :)

I shall call it... Well I have not named it yet. I s'pose it doesn't HAVE to have one.

Looks nice. Is it a sun set or sun rise? Either way, you could name it IC sun set/rise.

Yes, that do look nice :D
One tip though; if you turn off the menu by using the tm command, you won't get the hud and pointer in the picture, meaning you don't have to enter the console to make them go away :wink:

Thanks. :) I'll remember that. I was wondering how other people got that to go away.

Nice, sunset & sunrise shots never get old.

I just tried out a couple of mods, including Better Cities and some that light things up at night:

Those look very good. I like how White Gold tower looks with the light on it. The light draws more attention to what is suppose to be the main attraction in the city.

Those look awesome Xaeryx, I particularly like the second. The snow and the lights really make the picture. Although I must admit, the smiling dremora in the first picture is truly an odd site. I've only ever seen them snarling at me bloodthirstily.

I just got on for the first time in a week, took this because I liked the concept, although it is a little bland. Pilgrimage

No, I've never had that happen before. It would make sense, it should still be able to snow during the wintry months in non-elevated areas.
Here's a couple I took using the mod ScreenEffects, which lets you manipulate the contrast, brightness, shadows, etc. Just playing around with it at this point, but in the future it might make good pictures look even better.

What exactly does 'The Quick Cobbler' do? It's the shop in the Market District picture, which, I'll add, is very nice. What's the mod for the lights on White Gold Tower?

Found an awesome sailable ship mod and I took some pics.

Steering the rowboat underneath a bridge ((Pretty Picture))

Perfect job of parking against a dock. ((After the picture below. Practice makers perfect!))

Oh Shuddup :D ((It was a pain to get out of there))

Some narrow river ((I had "fun" trying to turn around"))

On my rowboat ((Lost my boat in a low-visibility storm, Trying to find where I crashed it))

Picking up some cargo to return to my ship. ((Makes for great roleplaying.))

On the bow ((Having a "Jack" moment. Funny that that night I hit the shore because I was lost in a storm))

Those are all pretty cool, once I get Oblivion on the pc I'll have to get that mod. I especially like the "Ship has run aground." one.

That steerable boat mod looks incredible. :D

I'm assuming it can be found on TES Nexus?

Here's a few more. I took out Natural Environments and added All Natural, and am still deciding whether I like it or not. The interior effect is startlingly different, but I think I like Real Lights, and Enhanced Weather has some visually stunning additions.

First weather I saw post-install: Anvil Again
Rainbow!
Another screen effects manipulated picture of some foggy weather.

Ok, here we go. Me second picture. Woke up at that camp on the peninsula where you start that ghost quest to see this. Thought it was rather nice.

That's an excellent picture Doctor. I love the water, it looks perfect there :)

Took two more, sometimes it seems like I play this game only to take screenshots. Maybe my game is too beautiful :|

As always, these are all brilliant. I like the addition of the rainbow, I am surprised that they aren't included from the start.
