Continuing this topic...

(Remember: No spoilers please.)

The prior thread is http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1256904-the-beautiful-skyrim-screenshot-thread/

If you want to see a Guide on Screenshooting tips, see my sig. It was put together by many contributors for Oblivion, but much of it is still relevant for Skyrim.

(Moderator: If a second thread has already been started, please delete this one. Also, could you put the link for the current thread - presumably this one - at the end of the prior thread, for easy navigation? Thank you!)

************************************************************************************************
My rl is definitely interfering with game time again, but my sympathetic wife took over my computer - and ending up playing way more Skyrim than I have. Here are a few of the many screenies she took (with a few tips from me) while I worked away... boohoo. :violin:

That's a cool capture!

In case you don't know, if you hit the tilde key (below the Esc key), then type tm (which means 'toggle menu' off) then hit the tilde key again, take the pic, then toggle it back via tilde and tm and tilde - it will get rid of the user interface on the screenie, and return it once done shooting.

Another one my wife took while fighting):
(Note: Some may consider this a spoiler in terms of a creature? Dunno, since dragons are okay.)

Unless you have very fast cable, it can take some time for the viewers to download. Also the png-type image above your post by Yvetty looks like it is almost 2MB. Yours loaded even slower than this png image did.

I always use jpg type because it reserves the quality pretty well and compresses efficiently - my shots are 3240x1920 and still compress to about 0.5 MB.

All that being said, yours and Yvetty's screenies look fantastic!

I love the Dwemer ruins I've been to. Absolutely love them.

Thanks for starting a new topic :foodndrink:

Here is my http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198033900957/screenshots/?tab=public featuring some interesting Northern Lights captures. Think there is a forest screenshot in there as well, which i'm not sure why i uploaded haha.

I'm not running any ini tweaks for the graphics yet though. Thought about trying that FXAA tweak, but for now i'm content with what i've got :yes:

That is an absolutely gorgeous shot Vethrian. I love the composition, it's perfect.

Here are a few I've recently made:

I'm not too far into the game, so I'm yet to see this. I love the shot though!
