r/PhotoModePhantoms

Taken on the series X.

I took one similar to this a few months ago, I wanted to update it since I have gotten a lot better at taking photos and adjusting light and settings.

Sometimes shots come to me on a whim.

Inspired by u/bigskyman90 , Ty for the tutorial man🫡

So the announcement of Laufey absolutely sent me down a spiral of replaying every game in the franchise again. These are some of the results.

These were taken on a base PS5, and later edited for cropping and color correction.

First time posting here.

All taken on a Series X with the only editing being done is cropping

Hello all! Time for another theme. First of all, congratulations (again!) to u/martianjupiterian on winning another theme with this awesome album cover. This was one of my favorite themes yet. There have been some really cool submissions. Big thanks to all of you who contributed. As for this month's theme,

He's right behind me... isn't he?

To enter in this event, be sure to:
✓ Post an image that captures two subjects - a being in the foreground, unaware that they're being watched/followed/approached by another being behind it. (SILLY EXAMPLES) - note that the subject in the back doesn't necessarily have to be something big and scary, but certainly does add to the intensity of the image!
✓ Include [07/2026 Theme] in the beginning of your title!
✓ Set the 'He's right behind me, isn't he?' Theme as your flair!

The submission with the most amount of upvotes by the end of July will be crowned as winner.

- Remember, crossposts are encouraged! If you crosspost your submission, you will be granted +5 bonus points for crossposting to the game title's major subreddit, and +1 point for each additional crosspost to the game title's minor subreddits. For example, you can take a shot in Ghost of Tsushima and crosspost it to r/ghostoftsushima and r/ghostoftsushimaphoto for a total of +6 bonus points.

You MAY:
✓ Take your captures from any game.
✓ Have more than one entry.
✓ Crosspost your entry to another subreddit (encouraged!)
✓ Use mods.

You may NOT:
✗ Use a previously winning capture (including a POTM winning capture!)
✗ Use external editing outside of the game used for your capture - (of course, editing tools provided within the game's photo mode is fine. ADDITIONALLY, minor adjustments used in Lightroom or a similar tool is also okay, we just prohibit excessive editing like this).
✗ Use cinematic shots (screenshots from a cutscene). You must actually use the photo mode tool to capture your own unique shot. Get creative!
✗ Have more than one slide in your post. Just keep it one image per submission.
✗ Spam post entries.
✗ Ask for upvotes in your title, for example don’t crosspost to a bigger community and say: “I need upvotes to win this contest please help!”

If you win:

• Your capture will be featured on our other platforms (Instagram & Discord)
• Receive the "He's right behind me, isn't he?" Theme Winner Discord Role (if you're in there)
• You (& your winning post) will be honored at the beginning of the post for 08/2026's theme.

Best of luck, and be sure to join our Discord to drop suggestions for future themes in the #suggestions channel! Oh, and come stop by to vote on Photo of the Month :) (⤎ Poll ends at the end of the month; Comment if the link is broken! I'll drop a new one)
