Images of Azeroth: 50,000 Words (45/50)



The Twilight Grove, Duskwood

Seradane, Hinterlands
The two portals in the Eastern Kingdoms, as requested by Nymphy and Draccus. Places of mystery and silence, now that their dragon guardians have abandoned them.

Ahh, the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. Without a doubt the most popular destination in Saskatoon for weddings to get portraits done. On any given Saturday during the summer the sheer number of weddings is incredible; they practically are tripping over each other. Using this very common location was quite often unavoidable, but using it in a novel way was difficult, but possible. This is one of my absolute favourite images that I did there, in a tiny little alcove between three buildings that is almost entirely covered in ivy. Very beautiful. For this particular image I chose to present it in black and white, and added a glow to the background. Greg and Charla have this hanging in their home as a 30" print.



Angelya over at Revive and Rejuvenate has come up with another Challenge that I, as a Photographer and self-styled Visual Artist, am very excited about. It's IntPiPoMo, or International Picture Posting Month. As a picture is worth 1,000 words, the goal for this challenge is to post 50 pictures during the month of November. I will be posting 25 Images of Azeroth and 25 photographs or art projects that I have been working on personally (and no baby photos, sorry ladies). As well, I will be posting commentary and context with each image.

  2. It truly is a shame that the Dream Bough Portals have been left unused by Blizzard. There is such huge potential in reopening them and possibly another expansion down the road after MoP. I remember when on a quiet night, an entire raid team would world hope to take down each of the Dragons at each location.

    Thanks for taking these Fannon, appreciate you going and screenshooting memories from the past.
