Skyrim Landscape Photography

This is an album of some of my best shots since release...

I plan to take more of these in the future, and they will only get better as the Aesthetic Mods pile on!

Enjoy and tell me what you think!

Love the masser and secunda shots. Plenty of backround worthy shots.

I decided to use the 2nd to last one as a background, my last one was epic, but this is nice too.

Yeah I felt really happy with the nighttime shots... With Enhanced Night Sky Mod and the Moon pack the skyrim sky really is amazing

Very nice! Although in my opinion too much saturation from that FXAA shader mod.

Here's a few I took before:

Wow some excellent shots there!

The saturation is coming more from Photoshop (Levels and Hue/Sat)

Nearly all of these were shot before I was ever introduced to FXAA PPI...

The printscreen button should work...

Also before you take your shot, go into your settings and drop hud opacity all the way down so the hud isn't in your shot...

Sometimes it helps to use the console command "TFC" to float the camera where you want it to set up a nice shot. Oh, and I guess I am going to start a photographers guild. If you are serious enough about joining I can have you at the top. Haven't thought about ranks or anything yet of if I will include them. But I edited my signature to make it official. I will be uploading more screens myself in a minute. I have some that are nice and some that are funny.

Im definitely Down!

Im thinking the next album Im gonna be putting together will be some portrait photography, then probably back to my mainstay of landscapes and Nighttime Exposures

And thanks for that console command... Never knew that before!
