  1. Lothlorien Boats Square

    Not something I thought I'd manage to get a decent shot of, ngl.
  2. Osgiliath West Gate

    Not to be confused with Moria West Gate!
  3. Osgiliath Tower

    Not much to say on this one. Was just nice to get a shot of the tower instead of the dome, lol
  4. Osgiliath Bridge Silhouette

    Was experimenting with a new technique to get this shot. Bright fog and the sun placed behind the focus, allowing for a very clear silhouette. Love how it came out!
  5. Pelargir Outskirts

    Older shot, definitely. Liked how the lighting came out and the rich colors, but aside from that, this shot ain't quite doing it for me. The blur is obviously Gaussian and just smears everything it touches. This was also a shot that just didn't need to be 16:9.
  6. Pelargir Autumn Aerial Shot

    Looking through all these Pelargir shots of mine has taught me that I sometimes make mistakes that any newbie to screenshotting would make. And hey, it's always fine to experiment, but maybe not when it makes me cringe mere months later. Where's the focus of the shot, man? xP
  7. Pathu Canas Square

    This is the village of Pathu Canas. Don't let the warp name confuse you! Hithrengarth is the name of the castle at Pathu Canas. Was preparing for a tour here on a tight deadline and wondered if I could get a good shot of it. Happy with the result.
  8. Calembel Aerial Foggy

    Perhaps a bit more direct lighting would've helped the left side, but beyond that, I honestly really like the colors of this shot.
  9. Methrast Cloudy

    This was taken not long after discovering that stormy weather darkened my shadows and clouds in the Bliss version of the time. Made full use of that reintroduced feature carried over from Chocapic.
  10. Belfalas Windmills Low FOV

    Surprised I took so long to get a shot like this. Could've swore I had taken a shot of theses windmills in the past, but apparently not!
  11. Dol Amroth Low Aerial Shot

    For years, I've wanted to get shots of cities like Dol Amroth from angles where you can see the horizon and the rooftops at the same time. Due to chunk rendering limits (and the limits of my rigs), this is near impossible to do well. The fog helps make this attempt look alright in this case.
  12. Dol Amroth Lovers Bridge

    I had gotten a shot of this bridge in a Sevy Tour video from 2021, and I wanted to come back to it and do it real justice. It is a very pretty build. Makes for a good test of a shader's global illumination settings as well.
  13. Dol Amroth Edge

    This tower has been the subject of many a screenshot over the years, and I don't blame its photographers one bit. Still, it does make it hard to come up with different styles and angles for it. In this case, I felt that the warm morning lighting went well with the fog surrounding the rest of it.
  14. Dol Amroth Miniature Square

    I don't like to stick to one style of screenshot. Instead, I try to vary up my settings and editing from time to time to give a wide range of styles. In this case, I was definitely going for the moody, dark atmosphere.
  15. Pelennor Fields Vegetation

    Lil' basic, but I liked it. :P
  16. 48 Hour Short Still

    Got this still from one my clips meant for the 13th Anniversary YouTube Short to demonstrate my settings to Toti. I actually am rather happy with the shot, though, so I'm posting it here.
  17. Andrast Bay Warm Square

    Not as satisfied with this final shot as I was at the time taking it in-game, but it honestly could be far worse. Think I expected the cloud shadows to work a bit better, but it's hard to complain with this result.
  18. Andrast Cliffs Davinci Goldenish

    A more recent shot. This is the result of me watching a 25 minute video on woodland photography and getting inspired. For this shot, I chose a less wide aspect ratio to experiment with aspect ratios other than my normal go-to square, 16:9, and 9:16 ones.
  19. Andrast Yellow Custom Sky

    This shot was taken around the peak of my creative rush in June and July. Using the seasons feature of Bliss, I purposefully framed the composition of the shot so that I could crop it to the vertical after taking it. I think came out quite nicely.
  20. Some Coastal Spot in Andrast

    After a creative rush from June till August, when I got some of my favorite shots to date, I was rather grasping at straws for that creativity and motivation to screenshot. This shot came out of that time in September and isn't doing anything special as a result. It's not bad, but not great either.
