I've been going around taking screen caps for use as desktops and a lot of them turned out really good, I'd like to share some of my favorites, feel free to post your own if you have some nice looking landscape shots. I will post more as I take more, too.

These are the best that have turned out so far:

very nice, i perosnally like #1 & #3 the best. I would like #2, but that branch wood thing on the far left is in the way

Yeah, I didn't like that either, when I was filing the screens I wished I had taken more angles of that area because it was a really nice shot.

Tried my best to remove it... I'm not sure if it's any better without it now. =P

omg the new pic without the tree thing in the way is an OWNAGE wallpaper

Conador · Jun 29, 2005, 07:31 PM // 19:31

also, i REALLY like the latest 2 lion arch ones. Water/ocean/sea (whatever) makes it look great

Ultimate_Gaara · Jun 29, 2005, 07:32 PM // 19:32

Very nice picture, i find myself taking a lot of pictures too, but none as good as these

Doesn't look too bad, but I found that there's really no way to take an actual picture of that spot without getting the wreckage in there at all. There are other vantage points but none of them got the full effect that the original got.

Thanks for the comments, folks. I've been working on taking some good mob pictures but it's hard to stay alive solo while waiting for your attackers to get a good synchronized pose! :P I have a few good looking mob pictures so far, but I have to go to work soon so either later tonight or tomorrow I will do a mob update.

I particularly enjoy the Shiverpeaks

Kishin · Jun 29, 2005, 09:47 PM // 21:47

The first one is one of my favorites, and I've been using it as a wallpaper for awhile now. It's the mission complete screen for Riverside Province.

The second is possibly my favorite spot in Tyria, right next to storage in Druid's Overlook. I'm particularly proud of it, as several friends asked me if was a press photo when I showed it to them. (Course, my laptop Graphics card's only a Radeon 9800, so its not press photo quality, sadly, but its still a neat shot, IMO)

I'm using a screenshot from TESIV: Oblivion as wallpaper.
Best realistic nature gfx EVER!

That game is going to be beautiful. Unfortunately, its combat system will probably suck as much as Morrowind's did.

Love that last LA one with the ship and lighthouse, silverwood, and the one with the bridge in the moonlight.

Here are some of mine:

These are some really good pictures, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who stops and appreciates the great work the developers have done with the landscapes.

Kash Zeppelin · Jun 30, 2005, 03:56 AM // 03:56

Very nice, may I ask how you took these pictures? Like without all the HP and MP bars, skill bars, etc

Acheus Lokine · Jun 30, 2005, 04:00 AM // 04:00

Hold shift when you press printscreen, it hides the GUI while it takes the screenshot.

Conador · Jun 30, 2005, 04:14 AM // 04:14

I must say, the last one by spiritofcat *the shiverpeak one) is now my wallpaper

i think its very good yet simple

spiritofcat · Jun 30, 2005, 04:53 AM // 04:53

Thanks, Conador

Yeah, shift+print screen does it, or CTRL+SHIFT+H will hide your interface while you're playing.
To vanish your character, just zoom all the way in, but you probably already knew that.

I look at those screen shots and think to myself "DAMN I HAVE ONE SHITTY ASS GRAPHICS CARD". Those look nice btw
