    Actually, I'm one of those scenic shot takers. I've never set out specifically to take pictures, but I do whenever a scene strikes me as particularly pretty. The colour of the grass and sky in La Noscea when the sun was high and there were few clouds was brilliant and striking. Contrasted with the ocean and the grey of the rocks when I was fishing on the cliffs, it made for some beautiful pictures. Ul'dah was practically designed to be visually pleasing during daytime; the oranges of the landscape and the deep blue of the sky is a really common colour contrast.

    Nighttime was equally pretty. La Noscea at night (both before and after the lighting change) was always pretty, and I loved sitting on the cliffs south of Bald Knoll watching the great lighthouse in Limsa, or the way the fires in every camp would light up a small group huddled around it, light flickering peacefully.

    While good pictures need planning, all my best shots were taken on a whim, when something magical clicked and I wanted to save the moment. If time was locked and I could only log in during the night, I'd miss a lot of amazing pictures.
