@RogerRoger Wow, I really like the 4th and 5th shots there in particular. Is there some filter to just affect the background or is the colour palette for the city a bit monotonous as some pics like the 5th seem to have a real contrast between the character and surroundings!
@Kairu@Ralizah@JudgeDredd@Thrillho Belated thanks to y'all for the praise! I'm sorting through what'll be my final batch now, as I finished my NG+ run yesterday.
As alluded to, this definitely seems to be Robin: The Game for you.
I'd really been trying to mix things up but, when I got to the finale, I had to switch back to Tim (there's no way I was gonna see it through with anybody else) and it felt like coming home. In a couple years, when I wanna replay the game again, it'll become Robin: The Video Game (feat. Nightwing w. Special Guest Star Red Hood). Nothing against Batgirl, but her silhouette is basically "slender Batman" and so, because I've taken hundreds of Arkham Knight shots before, I found photographing her to be a little too familiar. I ended up taking the same shots I've always taken, only with slightly different lighting and filters.

There's no background-specific filter, but there are some amazing dynamic lighting presets which position groups of spotlights around your character at different levels (three focus on the head, three on the torso, and then five are full-body). You can rotate 'em and change their intensity. Almost all of my shots are using one of the first three, to enhance the characters' faces amidst all the visual chaos.
I mean, quite a bit of Gotham is still dark and dingy (because it's Gotham) but I just got lucky with that fifth shot, and happened to be somewhere where I could DoF the background into oblivion!

Now that you're done with Gotham Knights, what will the next 'Photo Mode' venture be?! 👀
Alas, not Sonic Frontiers, as it doesn't have one, but both my winter games (Sifu and SnowRunner) do, so it'll be whichever one of them I get to first, I guess!
Lovely shots from Ragnarok, by the way! Looks like one heck of a pretty game!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@Kairu Very nice work indeed; I love the visuals in that part of the map. It's impossible to get anything done up there without succumbing to Photo Mode and snapping a few shots!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
The photo mode is pretty rudimentary, pretty much just moving the camera around and setting on/off for background focus, and as average as the game was it can look pretty cool!
@Kairu Iki Island has some gorgeous locations. Hope to see more shots, but no pressure! And thanks; I did, I really enjoyed Sonic Frontiers (and might do again soon, so there might be more of it to come)!

@Thrillho Heh, that you can't. Cheers! Thirty hours well-spent, I'd say.
Really like your Biomutant shots, thanks for sharing! The first, sixth and eighth are my favourites, either because you've captured the landscape well or because of the lighting. Sometimes, in big sprawling games, a simple Photo Mode can help you keep a quick pace; given that you weren't 100% bowled over by the game anyway, maybe it's a good thing that you weren't tempted to stick around? You've captured some great picture-postcard highlights regardless!

@CuteBoyMnM Welcome and yes, fantastic shots! Huge thanks for sharing 'em! Those duel shots from Ghost of Tsushima (and whatever game that fourth shot is from; apologies, I don't recognise it) are perfectly timed, excellent work! Loving the landscape in that last shot, too.
There'll be a forum screenshot competition starting in a few weeks, for screenshots you've captured this past year. Would you like me to tag you when it gets underway? No pressure!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@Kairu Thanks for the welcome, big fan of your first and third pics of Ghost of Tsushima. I always forget that there's a snowy area in the game and I'm a sucker for sunsets.

@RogerRoger Thanks so much, really impressed by your pics from Gotham Knights and now I gotta give Sonic Frontiers a look after some of those locales. My 4th pic is from Nioh 2, love that game to death and it helps that it's photo mode has a frame-by-frame option to help cycle through animations so I can get the best action poses. I really wish more action games could incorporate it into their games.
Sure you can tag me when the competition starts as I would love to throw my hat in the ring. Can't guarantee I'll hold up to the others but I've got time to practice.
@CuteBoyMnM Thank you, that's real kind of you to say!
Ah, that explains it, as I've never played Nioh 2 before. That frame-by-frame feature in its Photo Mode sounds absolutely fantastic, though; agreed, I wish more Photo Modes had similar! It'd cut down on the amount of luck I have to rely on when capturing action shots!
And great, will do! I'm sure you'll be more of a contender than you think you'll be!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@KAIRU My thanks! I was surprised by how pretty the game was, in all honesty! Doubt I'll come away with hundreds of new desktop wallpapers, but it's nice to have the option regardless.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@KAIRU Wow, these are gorgeous! They're vibrant and colourful and real exciting to look at! What makes you unsure about them, if you don't mind me asking?
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
I've been on a Sifu kick in anticipation for their Fall update as well as trying to get something out of God of War: Ragnarok (Still gonna wait till they add a photo mode for it). Hopefully these pics turned out okay.
Easter Egg for other Sony games (I can name all except for 4, maybe someone else knows more than me)

@Kairu Yeah those look great. The first pic looks straight out of a car commercial with the fourth one having a cool vintage style.
@CuteBoyMnM Well, that's spooky! I just started Sifu earlier today, and was about to share these!
Your shots from it are great, especially considering how clunky the Photo Mode's interface is (although I've seen far, far worse, so I'm not complaining)! You've got a superb eye for action, which I'm not confident enough to capture outside of the tutorial. Some excellent brawls there!
Good work with God of War as well, considering it doesn't even have a Photo Mode! Great timing!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@KAIRU GT7 is just an insanely good looking game so must be a great one to tinker around with in photo mode. Nothing to worry about with those shots as they’re great!
@CuteBoyMnM@RogerRoger Neat Sifu shots from you both and I’m impressed as getting mid action shots quite often leaves you a bit exposed in the game. Not great in something as unforgiving as this game
