User:BabylonAS/Tips on photos

This is my list of tips on making screenshots.

Tips may not be accurate, because I only took a few photos of Minecraft on PC, which are not about biomes or something like that.


 * General
 * Use F1 to hide GUI, which would obstruct the view.
 * Use no texture packs in the screenshots.
 * Mipmap should be set to a low setting. Mipmap set to a high setting blurs everything, lowering the details and quality.
 * Details on the image and quality of it vary with the position and angle it is taken from.
 * Special cases:
 * For biomes, it is better to pick a position that is low enough to see more details and high enough to see more of the object. An angle of 10° to 70° might fit well.
 * So, before posting a new photo, it is advised to take multiple of them, and post the best one.


 * Biome images
 * It may not be advised to get rid of other, "unneeded" biomes. It may be better to see a biome as part of something bigger.
 * The most space of the image image (say, 80-90%) should document the photographed biome.
