Real life photos, for ENB inspiration ;)

[--JawZ--]

Thought I would start a thread which will include photos taken in real life. For inspiration when tweaking a ENB mod, and want to get a "realistic" looking ENB. Or to try to blend cinematic and realistic together, with these images as a base of some sort.


I'm using a 10mp "Pocket" Camera, maybe not the best camera. But it's good enough And they are taking at or around my home, in Sweden.

Day time sky and night time sky are wrong.
Day time sky shows night, night time sky shows dawn/sun set.
But a nice idea.

IMHO for ENBSeries users more important to have hdr photos with some predefined scale to all of them, because this will allow to set values properly and to get realistic output without tweaking to death. For LDR images there are many "variables" and hard to get same as we see by eye without photoshoping or correcting them by shaders (graphic editors do not have required features).

@Cosmicblue - Yeah I rushed the upload, only got 5 hours of sleep before going of to work now. but will correct that and add screens and what not later on.


@ENBseries - Yes it's low Q, but it still gives you some ideas to take from real life. I myself have gotten some nice settings by using these images as a base and just go from there. I didn't say you should have these and try to make them, for example the sky exactly as you see in these images. Just thought I would upload some good reference photos that's all

Updated with more images and added image links to them all.

Awesome pics!

Thanks, and glad you think so

Will add more later on, both taken by me, and maybe some photos I find around the net. Though the latter will just be links, for minimizing thread length

Found a landscape video on Youtube with "Youtube 1080p" that has Skyrim type of weather and landscape in it, might be worth a shot too have a look at for those of you wanting some inspiration

So that's the target?

Cool find, that whole Planet Earth series is really nice especially in HD.

Maybe


Yeah it is, I was searching for some good cloud textures to "convert" to Skyrim and this came up, Google is a great tool to have at ones disposal
