Wallpaper Worth Pictures - Days Gone.

The contest themes of @gamingphoto helps us seeing things in a video game that we normally ignore.

I returned to Days Gone for some scenic captures, starting with a grim tunnel entrance. After investigating an ominous school bus and a burger stall, I lured a horde out of the White King Mine with a pipe bomb. I eliminated them through tactical retreats before claiming a health-boosting NERO injector.

Gaming Photography Weekly Contest - Theme: Wallpaper Worth Pictures.

I played Days Gone after a long time today to capture some wallpaper-worthy pictures. That is what I got at first sight: some hanged dead bodies at the entrance of the tunnel, a stark reminder of the world's brutality.

I rode to this town where I tried a bike jump through a wrecked bridge. You can see the stall of Hungry Jim's Burger in the background, a silent relic of a time when people could eat in peace.

After passing the burger store, I noticed this yellow school bus where someone wrote, "they are coming." I left my bike there to take these pictures, feeling the weight of the desperate message left by survivors.

I noticed there were some unexplored NERO sites nearby. I decided to check them and it looked like one of them was tucked away inside the dark entrance of the White King Mine, which felt dangerous.

I just knew there was a horde inside that tunnel. I threw a pipe bomb to attract the freakers and waited for them to come screaming out so I could quickly ride my bike and escape.

Like what I usually do with a horde, I stopped riding a short distance away and I shot some of them from there. I kept firing until they got uncomfortably close to my position.

I rode to a good distance from where I shot most of the horde when they were heading back to the mine site. There was one last straggler whom I shot down from close range.

I went back to the mine site and went inside to claim my prize when it was safe to approach. I increased my health using the NERO injector I found inside the abandoned research station.

I was riding on this rail track when night fell upon me. Suddenly, this freaker saw me from a distance and was running towards me, so I took care of it before it got close.

There came another freaker who got a lot closer to me than the last one. I leveled my weapon and then I just tried a headshot and took it down before it could attack me.

I noticed these waterfalls beneath a wooden bridge. I stopped there to check on the beautiful sound of the water, a rare moment of serenity in a land filled with constant noise and danger.

Look at this final picture; it is such a perfect fit for a wallpaper. The moon looked so lovely, and I really liked the way the light hit the dust on my bike's headlight.

The way you handled the horde encounter and then transitioned into scenic photography was awesome. It showed how exploration and danger constantly blend together in these virtual worlds. That horde probably regretted stepping out for fresh air, lol.
