Use an image hosting site like Photobucket or ImageCoast to upload the pic, then post a link here using the [ img ][ /img ] tags.

I was always more interested in scenery than character shots.

This particular mission had really low lighting, so I was able to get some really nice high contrasty shots.
Spoiler for Hidden:

No respect!
Spoiler for Hidden:

It took forever to get this shot.  I out leveled this mission, so there was no danger to me while I fooled around.

Yeah, a nice skyline makes for a really great picture. I cropped this one to use in my forum sig at one point, but I have no idea where the original is anymore.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Ooh, and these two were taken on beta, when First Ward was being tested. Or maybe it was Night Ward... been a while, hehe.

Spoiler for Hidden:

But my favorite game pic ever has got to be this one. Shortly after Freedom launched I was wandering around the newly revamped Atlas, and I managed to catch this scene completely by accident. I had no idea the Hellions had a Beatles tribute band!

I always liked how this one turned out.

This is my Ice/Mace Tank prior to the Roman gear's release.  He's knocking around a few low level Hellions.  The black borders at the top and bottom are there because I was using this image (among others) as my server selection screen at that time.

I always loved this shot of PI and use it as a desktop




and this one...I lucked out and got a shot INSIDE the tram!

On very rare occassions you could get a glimpse of the inside of the tram.

I only took about a bajillion screenshots, so picking only a few is tough.

These three were taken from the same mission, so I'm grouping 'em together.
