Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, Val'kyr on mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

may i ask how you did the picture look so cool with almost only white and black colors? what photoshop tecnique?

I actually used Irfan View, a 2-bit (not literally) photo editor made popular by Myspace back in like, 2004. I just changed the Contrast, Gamma, and Saturation. Really simple but makes a big difference in the photo.
And Chasing is a girl. Talking = Ventrilo.

Nice shot, but for some reason I thought edited/filtered photos weren't allowed? Hell, in that case, I can make any of the hundreds of pics I have look amazing.

Hmm, perhaps you're right. I've just been a long time viewer of Around Azeroth, I've never submitted anything until this one.
However, would it make a difference (in terms of acceptance/posting) if the lighting (gamma/brightness) was changed in the game or through an editor?

Well, yes and no. The way I see it, I feel getting the right 'natural shot' is more important than trying to make the photo good purely filtering it. There's a huge difference artistically. Now, for something relatively harmless as an article on this site, it's no big deal. If this were some sanctioned contest with prizes and such, then I think it would be a little off.
It's absolutely nothing against your pic, Domin (like I said, I really enjoy it and the story attached). I was purely just curious about the rules, and didn't mean to cause any trouble. Also, the above was just my opinion of photography, which was a bit unrelated to my point. My bad >.>

All good man, no harm done. :D
