Best lighting for taking screenshots?

RoyMallis

Out of the three Alliance zones, what areas have the best or your favorite lighting for taking selfies while you're out adventuring?

Isn't this subjective and dependent on the user's video card?

This is equivalent to asking which side of the hot dog do you start eating from?

Regardless of quality, different areas will offer different environments that affect the over all look of a screen shot. So no, it's not like what end of a hot dog, it's more like would you like a polish dog, a bratwurst or plain all beef dog.

I stand on a rock and put the ocean behind me for in-game selfies. IMO, selfies aren't as good when they have to compete with the background.

EP in the snowy landscapes. Very bright, shows your character well. Also OK lighting in stonefalls and bad lighting in Deshaan and Shadowfen. AD has Auridon, which is great for screenshots, with everywhere else except Reaper's March being FAR too dark & gloomy to take any good pictures. As for the Daggerfall Covenant, they have some decent spots in high rock.

I'm partial to my wood elf so I like a lot of the ares in AD but I also think some of the volcanic areas in EP would be cool. Haven't explored much of DC though :-/

Oh, and you forgot Cyrodiil, which arguably has some of the nicest, most well lit landscapes in the game.

Yeah. Self screenshots are hard enough without a centered third person camera, adding in a complex, colourful background is not good for it either. That's why I like the ashlands and simple, snowy landscapes.

Nice scenery in all three factions, depending on what mood you want to set.

I've found that the bluish light that Wayshrines give off is the best lighting for taking screenshots of characters. Skin doesn't appear right in pretty much all other types of light.

Great idea !! I submitted a pic of my character in a community creations post and its so dark ,well it is in a cave (but forget that), I couldn't find a good place . So , thanks to your good idea , I'm going to take her back to Bleakrock Island and take another one !

Not quite sure what the OP is asking.

Lighting has zero effect on screenshot. There's no optic occlusion or effects. Take a screenshot, you get exactly what you see.

I shine with an inner-light that makes all situations perfect.

It's a burden, sure, but someone must bear it.

Incandescent lighting, as I haven't upgraded my office lamp to those fancy LED lightbulbs.

Just take a screenshot of something that appeals to you.
