JC2 Photography Guide

To start this project of you wanna have friends...a friend with Just Cause 2...and a friend that will listen to you give directions without pi$$ing you of or giving you slack. I went for a best friend, he listens and is quite cheap of amazon.

Secondly you will need the multiplayer mod becuase you do, lets leave it at that.

Thirdly you need a breif understanding of how game photography works- its not as hard as real photography were you have to take into consideration appeture and ISO and white balance and boaring stuff like that (unlsess your into it like me), all you really have to worry about is location, light (kinda), theme and person.

The basics are you take a screenshot of something and possible edit the photo if you have photoshop or any other photo editing software- theres even a decent free one on the tinternet called pixlr if you wanted to know.

Since you are in multiplayer you will have the chat menu. At this point go to your location (ill go into more dept later) and go to peacful mode by typing /peaceful which means you wont be distrubed by exploding things. The go to the menu by hitting ESC and click settings. Turn HUD Opasity down, this will make the mini map disappear. Then if you want to take a screenshot of your other character (friend) then turn on first person mode /fps. Once you have done this press F3 to close the chat. This should get rid of most things in the way of your amazing screenshot.

This part is hard, choose what you want to take a picture of. You could do a landscape or a chase or a fight, something that is intresting will be better than a tree. Try and take it at a sunset or a sun rise because this will make the sky look more intresting-you may also wish to get mods to mek things look better.

Mid action shots are pretty cool as well and can make the picture more dramatic.

This is one i took with a friend near a ramp in the dark jumping over a military base barrier. This isnt to bad however if the sky looked reder. You can find many screenshots on google (whatever search engine you use).
This one is taken from 3rd person veiw and has a nice background but the character in the center that draws attention. Have fun and mess around with it, it doesnt really matter if you play single player or multiplayer.
