Frost Giant. Added by MMM, it sure is ugly. It had something like 50% spell reflect, I almost killed myself trying to mage it down
Armelias Praying. I'm not sure what deity the little shrine in Cloud Ruler Temple is dedicated to, or if it is even a shrine.
Chapel Portrait. Picture of my character sitting on a chapel bench.
Talos' Glory. A simple, symmetrical shot of the Bruma chapel.

[Bode]

I like your character Josje, he looks like an experienced forester. I'm curious though, why are your screens so small? Do you play at that resolution?

Here's a view from near Cloud Ruler Temple looking down at the mountains. Really a striking shot. Snowy.

[Doctor Meaticus]

Bode's Frost Giant is... well... gigantic. It would probably take around 30 seconds for that thing to fall to the ground assuming Vanilla Oblivion's physics apply. MMM is Midas' Monster Mods or something right?

[Bode]

Right. Mart's Monster Mod is the first big mod I tried. It's excellent, I've never looked back since the download.
Edit: Oh, Midas is from a magic mod, Midas Magic. Also a good mod, but nothing to do with Mart's Monster Mod.

Last Light

Shot of the skyline in Leyawiin or Bravil. Can't quite remember. Nothing like the colour of a Vanilla Oblivion sunset.

[Bode]

I like your shots Meaticus. That one is also excellent, a good combination of land and sky.
I'm getting a little frustrated at my weather right now, it's been clear and boring for a week or so. Month is heartfire (september), so hopefully All Natural will bring in some stormy weather soon so I can start enjoying spectacular conditions again. Anyway, here's a few recent ones: IC Scenery, More IC Scenery, and Imperial Night Sky.

[Yeepo]

I really liked Imperial Night Sky, Bode. Beautiful!

[Reaper67]

I kinda feel like I'm in a thomas kinkade shop. He does lots of scenery paintings.

[Bode]

I've got a couple of puzzles of Kinkade paintings. Very beautiful.

I discovered my weather being so bland was actually a mod malfunction, which I think I've fixed now. Meantime, Near Pell's Gate, Umbra, Umbra Derrotada.

If you can make a higher resolution of that picture, I think I've found my new wallpaper

Sorry. My graphics card isn't flashy enough to handle a higher resolution in-game. My 1GB of RAM probably doesn't help either.

Also, Bode, how come Umbra wears Umbra on her back like a claymore rather than at her hip in that picture?

[Bode]

It must have been changed to a claymore by some mod, most likely FCOM. Her shield isn't on the ground either, so that further validates that. I mostly posted those because I thought Umbra looked pretty good for an exiled, corrupted wood elf living in a cave, but I guess it's a little hard to tell when she's cooped up all that armor.

Three more: Bruma Moon, Bruma Guard (post Bruma gate), Sunset from Cloud Ruler.

Edit: Two more, from Cheydinhal: Cheydinhal Chapel, Cheydinhal Sunrise (and the same with a different effect). I think that Anvil is unquestionably the best screenshot city, everything else I've got pales in comparison.
Also, recently started using Open Cities, which, although I'm still adjusting to it, I think I like a lot. Very different. Leyawiin Reborn is also pretty darn cool, although the only tour I've taken was done in fog so thick I could barely see three feet in front of me. Point is, I reduced my resolution a little to improve my frames, screens will be a little smaller.

Distant Skyrim

I closed an Oblivion gate and saw this upon stepping out. It's up in the mountains above Chorrol.

[Bode]

I'm curious, what resolution do you play at? That picture came out as 640x480... it's awesome, just small.

[Doctor Meaticus]

Well... I don't actually know.

I'm guessing I check by going into the options menu?

[T PoPTartZz T]

Good guess.

[Bode]

Yeah, it should be under options < video in the startup menu, under resolution.
I just took a few more, as I pretty much always do whenever I start up the game. Dismal Bravil (1), Dismal Bravil (2), and, my favorite, Bravil Rainbow.

[The Edgy Redguard]

Loving the pictures folks. Bode, I was wondering which mod you use for the weather, I used Natural weather for a while, but I got quickly sick of the stutter it caused.

[Bode]

I've been using All Natural for a while now. It gives you the option of including weathers from three different weather mods: Natural weather, enhanced weather, and atmospheric weather system. I personally am using natural weather and enhanced weather. All Natural is modular, so if you're worried about FPS hits, you could try just installing the weather module, which should run pretty smooth and fixes some script glitches from previous weather mods.
Anyway, two more: Road to Leyawiin, Leyawiin Chapel. Leyawiin Reborn is awesome.

Edit: A question to all those who use Anti-Aliasing: Is there a noticeable difference between the game with and without AA? I run the highest settings, without AA, and I've tried comparing the game with and without it, but I honestly notice little to no difference. The only reason I don't use it anyway is because I can't take ingame screenshots with it, and have to use Fraps. Am I missing something here?

[The Edgy Redguard]

AA Is used for smoothing out edges and such, you can read more here yes I can see a difference.

[Bode]

I guess I'll give AA another shot sometime, then, but I have yet to be impressed. Three more, taken from Anvil on a foggy day/night: Salute, Pledge, Dark Moonlight. I really like the last one.

I prefer HDR over AA. And I've turned self-shadows off, they look awful IMO.

[Bode]

I found out how to 'force' AA with my graphics card settings, so now I get ingame screenshots and AA, which is cool. Could use HDR too, but I don't, I think it makes things a little too bright. Anyway, three more: Ciport, Orange Sunset, Orange Sunset2.

[Reaper67]

Ciport bares a strange resemblance to my aunts house.

In the Orange Sunset 2, if you look at it the right way, that butterfly looks huge.
