Topic: Pushsquare Screenshot of the year 2019

Congratulations to the winner! I was surprised to make top 12, nevermind sharing the 6th place spot! That was fun and inspired me to play with photo mode more often from here on out. Big thanks to the 3 judges for putting this together for us!

@Thrillho Congrats!

@KALofKRYPTON Where did you even take that picture? It’s awesome, but leaves me scratching my head as to how.

@WanderingBullet feel free to post your top 5 pics as secret judge!

Wow, that’s a bit of a surprise! Thanks to everyone who voted for my shot. Skimming through votes it was hard to see an obvious winner as the votes were so varied!

Thanks for the folks who put this together and good work to all those who submitted and voted.

@Gremio108 I highly recommend the game and that scene is from one of my favourite boss fights in a while. It might be quite repetitive but atmospherically and emotionally it’s really impressive.

@KALofKRYPTON I still love that shot as it was the most unique of the lot. @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I’m glad my thoughts on your shot matched the title

I look forward to the challengers for my title next year

Thanks @Kidfried!

@Jaz007 Zone mode on the Syncopia track. The scenery is all organic curves and such.
About a third of the way around, there are a series of descending breaks in the track through a pretty trippy looking cavern, got the shot as the ship was in the air between one of the drops. Racing line had to be dead straight at around zone 40 (I think) and the rest was getting the positioning and camera setting right 😀

Have a look in the screenshots thread, I was doing a run to capture something that looked quite stark, but got a bunch of nice ones along the way.

Well done to @Thrillho and all who placed. Some rather awesome images there.

Here's hoping that the Vanquish re-release has a photo mode! 😲

@KALofKRYPTON That’s incredible and has to be one of the most impressive screenshots I’ve ever see then.

@RogerRoger Thanks for the mention Roger. Very much appreciated. Was hoping I'd get at least one of mine short listed but the bar was set pretty high this year with the quality of screenshots!

Thanks @RogerRoger . It took me quite a while to find the right angle. I wanted to make a Spidey-Selfie that would feel "real", to give an idea of what it would actually feel like swinging and jumping so high, all over NY..... frankly, I can't put what I was going for in better words than you already did. Thanks again

Thanks @Jaz007! And thanks again @RogerRoger for the nomination 😁

As soon as I saw that 'Face Your Demons' pic on the community page I knew it was a winner. Absolute cracking shot. Congratulations @Thrillho.

Ahh @RogerRoger. I'll tell you what the actual thought process was with a quote from our winner @Thrillho regarding my screenshot...

True I did turn the colour saturation down, making it more muted... But it was all about making that lens flare pop as much as possible. The Watcher blending into the background was completely by accident 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I'm a sucker for a bit of LENS FLARE!

@ApostateMage You're too kind. Even more impressive that I got it at around 5am on my start to finish play through over one night!

Congratulations @Thrillho. What a brilliant, atmospheric shot! Well done to everyone selected by the judges, really brilliant screens.

Congratulations @Thrillo , glad to see my favourite won. Well done to the top picks and the judges for giving their time to this.
Thanks for the shout out @RogerRoger. With the games coming 2020 maybe we will need a top 50 next time.

Ah shoot, I missed the voting, dammit.
Congratulations to all the winners, specially @Thrillo with such a badass shot.
Taking screenshots and sharing them is a passion on its own that is exclusive to our medium. Seeing a community as warm and as friendly as Push Square throwing such a competition with good souls like yours was exciting.
I enjoyed all of your shots and it's been one hell of a month. I can't wait to see what comes next year.

A special thanks to the judges, @Neolit, @RogerRoger and, @themcnoisy for investing time and organizing this competition. You guys are the best.

Wish you all a Merry Christmas in advance,
Sam,

Well done everyone!
In 2020 I should remember to use photo mode more often. When I checked my gallery I realized 99,9% of the screenshots were automatic trophies shots, while there was only a dozen made by myself...
