Ghost of Tsushima

I really clicked with Photo mode on this game. The way Sucker Punch brought life into the world is unlike anything I've ever seen in a game before. Whether that's Mongols terrorising the Japanese people; or the wildlife seeking refuge in a war-ravaged land. The world is alive at all times.

My favourite thing to do in Photo mode was to create action shots. Jin Sakai is a ruthless Warrior bound by the Samurai code. He fights for Honour; some of the later optional fights in the Duels to the death were some of my favourite bits of Ghost to capture. I enjoyed these moments as his movement is quite sharp and precise. It came out great in the photos. I enjoyed tweaking the exposure of the backgrounds to create photo's where it creates a silhouette of Jin and his opponent against a bright background. You can also add a glint onto his sword to make it look extra sharp (excuse the pun).

As I mentioned before, Sucker Punch did a great job on the land of Tsushima; the shrines and Tori gates were another one of my favourite things to capture. I've made use of the filters to make an ordinary photo of a vibrant red gate to turn it haunting and spooky by making use of Dark Blues and blacks to create a dark Silhouette against a coloured background.

I think my favourite thing included in this mode was the usage of vibrant Red Maple leaves. It absolutely transformed black and white photos, as you can see by the gallery. I made use of it a lot. I often used the weather filters to make the photo's darker and dingy and then added the particles to give a pop of colour.

I still need to go back to this game for the iki expansion, so expect a few more photos of GoT. I'm certainly not done yet.
