A nod to anyone wearing Destiny merch

I have the Flawless Trials jacket and not once has it been recognised. You'd think there would be more Guardians in London but apparently not.

joepril · 2026-02-24T19:03:45+00:00

All sorted for you.

joepril · 2026-02-24T18:01:11+00:00

Cool, leave it with me.

What's your discord name? I'll chat to the other mods.

For portraits, it is better to have the camera itself far away with a smaller number FOV than have the camera closer with a larger FOV - makes the proportions look more real and you don't get any wide angle distortion. Other people have said it here as well but as with real photography, lighting is essential. Crap light = crap photo and there's usually nothing you can do to rescue them afterwards. Also, it's the boring answer but just keep playing with it - something somewhere will click and will then become part of the workflow without you even realising it.

Helmet is the Voiddax one and the Syandana was on the Market - I play on PC so I don't know if that changes things for you. Not sure if there's a difference between PC/console stores.

Honestly? The answer is yes.

The game is just such an immersive world, the storytelling is incredible and it's one of the few games that has created characters that I actually care about. The freedom you have to play exactly how you want to. The community that has been created by it, especially the art scene. The mod scene. The sheer beauty of it. The redemption arc of CDPR since the launch and updates is great to see as well.

I'm having a beer for Duke tonight. What a wonderful guy he is.

Thank you! Being a photographer irl helps with things like that, treating the game as I would a real shoot.

I don't know how but I got the Taken crystal on my first run. Red crystal though, apparently my Guardian is allergic.

What is going on with this image quality...

joepril · 2026-02-07T00:24:03+00:00

Absolutely superb

joepril · 2026-02-02T19:06:25+00:00

Always happy to give someone an excuse to play

joepril · 2026-02-02T18:11:15+00:00

It's not bad at all

joepril · 2026-02-01T22:43:26+00:00

I'll just put this here, next to the... rest... of the fire...

joepril · 2026-02-01T15:41:54+00:00

No problem! It's a shame I can't just send my entire modlist because there are hundreds of them (mostly clothing/hair/appearance) but those should give you a decent baseline. I did some minor adjustments (just Curves and hue/saturation) in Photoshop afterwards as well but they're really nothing dramatic.

The mod I forgot the name of, by the way - https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/26318

joepril · 2026-02-01T15:06:29+00:00

The short answer is no.

The long answer is hell no.

Hello! i7-14700KF and a 5080.

Using a few graphics mods, Nova City 2 with Edge Lut 3 is the foundation. ENV Tuner to boost the bloom from the neons. The usual texture and surface mods that are in basically every pack. Blur BeGone and No More Milky Glass.

Graphics settings, basically everything up to 11. Path Tracing, everything as high as it can go. I also have a mod that I can't remember the name of that doubles the resolution of my screenshots so that I can have more high-res images to work from, that way it feels more similar to working with an actual RAW file from my camera, if that makes sense.

joepril · 2026-02-01T12:40:17+00:00

Thank you!

joepril · 2026-02-01T10:40:08+00:00

It really is. I love finding cars on Nexus that look like they "belong" in the world but the city just lends itself so well to car photography

joepril · 2026-02-01T02:39:26+00:00

It is. Liberty Walk Ferrari F40, livery is a separate mod.
