Words can’t really describe how beautiful the Broken Isles are, you just have to go out there and explore. Take a break from the world quest or whatever you are doing and take a look around.
Which zone is your favorite and why?
Draenor is a beautiful place with many different zones which all have something unique you want to capture a picture of either it be the fall colored trees in Talador, windswept and snow-covered fields in Frostfire Ridge, the galactic sky in Shadowmoon Valley or the moons which are visible in every zone. I have taken around 1000 screenshots in Draenor and here are some of my favorites.

Timeless Isle is beautiful but it’s not so easy to run around on a high populated server and take screenshots in first person and with friendly and unfriendly player names checked off.

I like being awake at night, I like the dark, the silence, the moon and the stars. Here are some screenshots I took late while flying around Kalimdor.
Someone asked me how to take good screenshots in World of Warcraft, so I thought I’d write a small post about it and share my tips.
I’ve been taking screenshots since I leveled my first character back in the Burning Crusade. I didn’t know anything about how to hide my UI, zoom or turn up my graphics and resolution when I first started. But I’ve learned a lot since then, mostly by reading other guides and tips and by taking loads of screenshots. When I play I’m always looking for good shots. Sometimes I run or fly around doing something completely different when I suddenly see something I just have to take a screenshot of.
Basics
How do I take a screenshot?
Press the Print Screen button on your keyboard, it’s usually located at the top right. You should see a “Screen Captured” message.
How do I hide my UI?
Press Alt+Z to hide it and press Alt+Z again or Esc to get it back
How do I make names of characters/NPCs/pets disappear?
Open the Game Menu, choose Interface and then Names. You can uncheck the names you want to hide.
Where can I find my screenshots?
You screenshots are automatically saved in the screenshots folder in your main WoW directory.
Quality
WoW actually has an internal setting for screenshot quality which by default is set to 3/10. You can turn it up by typing the following command into your chatbox
/console screenshotQuality 10
You should also turn your screen resolution and graphic settings up as high as your computer can handle before taking a screenshot. This can be done in Game Menu – Interface – System.
Tips and tricks
I usually edit my screenshots before posting them. I turn up the contrast and brightness a little bit so they don’t appear so dark. It’s not a big difference but it makes them look better.
