Cool picture, raging Jakarius!

[Norroen Dyrd]

Bringing back my favourite thread, maybe this one will bolster everyone (including me ) into taking some more lovely pics!
This one is actually an old picture but I've given it some heavy editing (I love GIMP!) and I think it looks quite special now.
SHAZZAM!!!

Spoiler:

Cartoon styled nebula backgrounded oblivion screenshot FTW!

Great pic!
I have been given
one moment from heaven
as I am walking
surrounded by night.
Stars, high above me,
make a wish under moonlight.

I provide the pretty pictures and you bring out fitting lyrics, we make quite a team
We could do captioned pictures, you know, lyrics for captions...

Yay! Let's roll!
Speaking of pics, I wanted to ask if there is a mod that makes underwater visibility better. I tried to make underwater screenies, but they all turned out vague and bluish.
Thanks in advance.

Well I use Natural Water, part of the Natural Environments package (SHAZZAM!!! )
and that changes water visibility, also making it easier to see through the water from the surface.
That's the only mod I can think of that I use that would change the water but a quick search on TES Nexus would probably find you an alternative if you so desired. I can recommend Natural Environments however, it makes lots of subtle changes that greatly improve the game and it will help to liven up screenshots at any (in game) time of day.

[KrisCrash]

There is a couple of water changing mods, I'll look up which one I have when I get home... it's so nice to be able to see more than 2 metres ahead of you >_> makes swimming enjoyable rather than disorienting. Although.. as a consequence you'll be able to spot the clumsy bottom graphic tiling here and there (oh well).

[Norroen Dyrd]

Thanks, Jakarius and krisCrash!
All the mods you recommend are awesome.

[KrisCrash]

Okay then
Better Water tiny little visibility tweak, water is clearer when you are in it, but not as clear as air so it is not that unrealistic, more like wearing swimming goggles. It's also clearer when looking from above, but I don't remember how big the change was.

Bound Bow with Arrows bound bow becomes useful I recommend the Expert Bound Bow 45 seconds, very handy, I never carry arrows around any more.

Restoration Rebalance Reduces magicka cost of healing so you can feasibly heal yourself without a giant magicka bar. Maybe it's cheating, but Restore Health was painfully costly imo.

And a picture of Goldfish x Robert's Male Body Replacer because this is a photography thread after all (I don't remember if I already posted him though). I haven't played a lot lately, so not many fresh screenshots I'm afraid! Busy with school

[Norroen Dyrd]

Thank you a thousand times!

[Jakarius321]

Here's another of my screenshot edits using pretty much the same techniques.
SHAZZAM!!!

I just missed the 40 page post! My OCD side is complaining but I think I can control it!

As usual you have dug up fitting lyrics from what must be the biggest pile of literature EVER inside your head.
Nice work

[Jakarius321]

Sorry for the double post but I felt I just had to show this quickly.

I just got Nehrim: Fate's Edge English Version and I played through the whole starter dungeon forgetting I was a photographer.
Luckily I remembered at the moment I first stepped out into the light....
Behold! A brand new world...
With a brand new character!


More to follow...

Even if the first one is sunset and not dawn, I still think this will fit. This was the first thing that came into my head when I looked at the pic:
Waking up in the light
Of a shiny new day
Giving thanks to the moon
For guiding my way
There is no better gift to the soul
Than each breath that my body can hold
So, great spirits
Hear my voice today

Welcome, magic
Welcome, sweet sunray
Love is no secret
Look all around you
Welcome to this day
(Brother Bear 2 Welcome to This Day )

With a brand new character!

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.

Oh, and pardon the low quality; FRAPS doesn't want to take jpegs right now. Which is a shame seing how it completely ruins the fact I'm running on super-high graphics.....

Sorry for off-topic, but I have to write it here - Unless Fraps is making some "bad settings" PNG images, they are better than JPG. PNG is lossless image format, JPG has compression and quality losses. PNG is better to achieve the best quality picture = PNG screens are better (but larger).

Not to worry, this is the thread for all things photography-ish PNG are supposed to be better than JPEG but I can't usually see a difference. I think the main difference is that JPEG quality degrades cumulatively i.e. every time you copy/save/alter it. PNG always keeps it's quality.
For posting links on these forums you need to upload them to a photo-hosting site. Since JPEG's are smaller if your uploading large numbers of pictures (like 40 at once! check back through this thread ) Most people would prefer them to be as small as possible.
As an example (this is probably wrong) if I uploaded 10 PNG's and it took 10 minutes, 10 JPEG's would take 5 minutes. That would also mean your internet was pretty slow
I'm just saying, PNG's are good when you can tell the difference, I can't, and I go with JPEG because I'm impatient and my internet is slow enough as it is

Wow, I feel like I just woke up from a long nap or something. So many things have happened that I missed. Weekday logons are not possible for me right now because of my living space. If we're doing a ranking thing, then I will reserve a rank for myself as Photo Forman. I don't necessarily take pics yet, but I oversee the whole business.

The idea of me taking pics and posting them may have to wait for now. The computer I was using is no longer readily available to me. It shouldn't be too terribly long until I get one though. I do have some great places and things in mind for pics, rest assured.

Looking forward to it! I've been branching out into various mods to try and capture some of their user-created goodness on film digital memory.
Although I've been considering a tour of Cyrodiil, visiting all the cities, beauty spots and generally interesting locations
That way I could roleplay an actual photographer, walking through the wilderness....

[Argonanza]

Today I decided to get Jakarius' Beauty Spot Rock mod. So here are some pics of the most beautiful place in all of Cyrodiil and my very own awesome rock house

I live in a freakin' rock now! How cool is that?
What a nice neighbourhood.
I always wanted my own swimming pool..
He was walking around my lake!
Nothing like a nice shower after a long day.
Oh my god, magic flame thingy!!!
My secret garden. If you tell anyone about it you are dead!
So beautifuuuul!

[Jakarius321]

Splendid pictures there Argonanza!
I'm glad your enjoying my small installment to the modding community.
I shall have to find another beauty spot and make another since you've hi-jacked this one

Nothing like a nice shower after a long day.

This one made me remember Bilbo's bath song.
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
that washes the weary mud away!

And your "nice neighbourhood" shot reminded me of an English nursery rhyme. I just changed the name:
Little Lizard Blue
Lost his holiday shoe,
What can little Lizard do?
Give him another
To match the other,
And then he may walk out in two.

Now I really wish I was a modder. This gave me an idea to make/request a camera mod. If anyone in this here guild has modding skills, you should make a camera mod as an official photographer's guild mod. I think that would be awesome!

That sounds brilliant and hideously complicated at the same time
Maybe something involving using OBSE to fix it so that "print screen" only works when you have a "camera" item equipped.
The camera could also have a zoom (like the marksman perk).
Come to think of it I'm sure I saw a binoculars mod once? This would be more complex because you would have to do the whole take a picture thing.
Unfortunately it sounds WAY beyond my knowledge but you never know who else could give it a try.
