This week something radically different from what we've done before. As per yet another idea from SGTMeowmers9, this week's theme is "Photo-synthesis 1". Instead of creating a virtual terrain, I want you to go around in real life and take a picture of actual terrain. Quality and location do not matter at all, as long as some kind of terrain is shown on the photograph. The idea is that you simply snap a shot with your camera or phone when you're traveling or such anyway - no need to put huge effort into it. If you'd like to participate but for whatever reason can't, find me a google picture of an interesting piece of terrain near you (i.e. a mountain near your town). We're gonna take out some of these pictures and try and re-create them in the terrain editor next week, when the theme'll be 'Photo-synthesis 2'. Holiday pictures are allowed as well, if they're interesting.
Good luck, I hope we'll get some interesting shots!
This would be something. For some reason, I can't use my camera's pictures on this computer, so I just threw this one in. I don't know if I'll be able to do any serious terraining this week.
Well, it's not exacly this. Instead of everyone having their own picture(s), the topic of the WTE is recreating one of the couple pictures you would have found for it.
We could do something like, you present one picture, and everyone has to remake that picture to see how everyone would do the same thing in different ways ;)
Weekly Terraining Exercise #97
Hey hey hey!

Also, perhaps a Google Earth picture could count.
Few pictures from Finland.
@Terhonator: Go
Beautiful :)
Also, obligatory:
Hm.
I have a bunch of travel pictures sitting around. I'll probably have to set up an external slideshow, rather than uploading directly to the forum.
Will update this post with a link once I have some good ones sorted out and ready.

@xcorbo: GoWhat's real life?
Anyway, the other month, I was in Europe - and while I was there I went to the Tatras in Slovakia.
I don't have the camera with me, so I'll have to show you where I took the photo. It's imprinted into memory, though, so it shouldn't be hard.
I got something like this: http://images.naturenplanet.com/data/images/full/1397/high-tatras.jpg?w=600
So this week theme, is get the out of your room, find out how works your legs and walk outside with a camera. Sounds cool.
Working on projects:
Can this be extended a little? I need to like... Get a camera.
Also: Whats with all the mountain shots?
@Doubleclick123: Go
Everybody loves mountains. Especially me
Here is my entry.

I'm not good with terraining-stuff at all, but at least I can post some photos I took in Poland, the Ukraine and Romania
