My virtual photography portfolio, spanning 10 years since Horizon got me hooked. Overall I'd say my favourite styles are portraits, high contrast, and silhouettes.

I'm David, gamer for life since Space Invaders!! Very much a tech addict, film fanatic and lots of anime.

Today's walk up and around the Caer Caradoc hill in Shropshire. 459M peak so not quite Nepal...but a beautiful spot! (even though the sun refused to pop out...)

More shadows adventuring. One thing that sets this game above many is the lighting. They nailed it.

Was really happy to see this announced last night🤩
Kena is a great game for visual artists. Gonna have to wait for the PC version though...doh!

Greyscale Shadows.
The lighting in this game makes some scenes very photorealistic. Esp. wooded areas.

The game engine in Shadows is amazing. Albeit I suck so bad at sword combat...loving the game!

That's a wrap on the main story, so i've left myself at the spires dlc ready to continue some time.

Shame about the photomode bug I've had to deal with, was the game I wanted to play most getting back into a creative spirit. Very limited to what I could share.
