HFW. Aloy, wearing red and lit by yellow lights, runs away from the camera, further into the cool blue depths of the cauldron, chasing secrets and danger

HZD remastered. the sun sets over a bandit camp beside a body of still water. The camp reflects in the water and the low light bathes the area in orange and pink, making it look almost peaceful.

HZD remastered. There's rain over lush growth, and in the distance a rock pillar aims for the sky. There are bright painted marks on the rock, in blues and yellow, a guide to a forgotten story. Aloy stands a short distance away, beside an old pole with coloured ropes ties all around it, ribbons fluttering from the top.

HFW. In the foreground, Kotallo runs across a sky clan bridge connecting a snow covered path. In the distance are the snow covered mountains of the Sheersides.

#HorizonForbiddenWest #HorizonZeroDawnRemastered #BeyondTheHorizon

HZD remaster. Aloy and Varl stand side by side, looking out at the ruins of Devil's Grief. The autumn light washes over them as they plan.

HZD remaster. Aloy walks through an old, very overgrown ruin. Vines fall from the ceiling, the ground is covered in green. It's dark where she is, but just ahead light shines in from a hole in the ceiling.

HZD remaster. Aloy is in the air, feet planted in the chest of a bandit, her spear raised, ready to drive it home, payback for lives lost.

HZD remaster. In the cut, at the side of one of the thermal pools, filled with colour, Aloy sits. The pool is a bight rainbow, under a break of down sky. The whole moment is awash in colour.

Part 6 (2nd last!) of my #VP2024

Nov - the HZD remaster came out, such a joy to go back to the beginning.
of first friendships and early fights. a world of wonder and secrets to be explored and discovered once again.

#Aloy #Varl #HorizonZeroDawnRemastered #BeyondTheHorizon

HFW. It's night and the throne room of the Grove is lit only by torches and braziers. Aloy walks carefully into the area, the throne and old world plane looming.

HFW. The sun is setting over the old shell of a Horus, resting over a lake. The machines long arms weave through water and ground, towards the far shore. the sunset reflected in the water.

HFW. Kotallo is in profile. He looks towards his left, a clear view of the shape of his face against a dark background.

HFW. Aloy stands in clear bright waters, balancing on one foot and smiling as she enjoys the world she's trying to save.

(ok, it's 2 more after this, not sorry)
Part 5 of my #VP2024

This shot of the Grove is one of my all time faves now, I'm so happy with how it came out. But can't resist shots of the beeg machines and my faves.

October

#Kotallo #Aloy #HorizonForbiddenWest #BeyondTheHorizon

HFW. A close up of Kotallo against a white background, he looks slightly to his left, a thoughtful look on his face.

HFW. Aloy aims her bow directly at the camera, the arrow creates an X as it charges up, her expression is focussed, fierce.

Aloy is still, staring into the distance, a quiet, but gentle expression on her face.

HFW. Alva stands with her bow drawn, aiming at a machine off screen.

part 4 of my #VP2024
(I swear, only a couple (2... 3?) more parts, sorry 😅)
one of my fave #Kotallo shots (and first featured 🥹), the ever wonderful #Alva and fierce and hopeful #Aloy.

#HorizonForbiddenWest #BeyondTheHorizon

HFW. A shot of the remains of the golden gate bridge. a horus has crushed part and a stormbird watches over the overgrown landmark.

HFW. Zo stands in the base, framed by her focus light as she studies.

HFW. A fireclaw mid attack, lit up by the focus, showing the few weakpoints the machine has.

HFW. Aloy stands on a cliff at the edge of the Daunt, looking over the vast canyon.

part 3 of my #VP2024
(yep, sorry there's more. and by sorry, I mean not sorry 🤷‍♀️)
Can we please just talk about how amazing #Zo is? and how much fun the HFWAlphabet was?

#HorizonForbiddenWest #BeyondTheHorizon

HFW. Kotallo leaps into battle, blade out as he swings at an attacking scorcher, flames flowing out behind him.

HFW. Close up of Aloy and Kotallo's hands, as Aloy carefully reaches out to Kotallo.

HFW. Dekka stands proudly in the Grove, hands crossed and looking slightly upwards, towards the distance.

HFW. It's night and Aloy sits in a old ruin, looking at a relic displaying a crescent moon. THe only light comes from this relic.

Part 2 of my #VP2024
Including one of my fave #Kotallo shots and the ever awesome #Dekka (and a little bit of my ship sneaking in because I love them)
(I did mention there'd be a few, right?😅)

April - April

#HorizonForbiddenWest #BeyondTheHorizon

Between present and past. Aloy stands with her back to the camera, looking over Utaru lands. On her left is Plainsong and the Dishes that make the tribe's home and on her right, the remains of a Horus, shadowing the land

Dawn breaks over No Man's Land. In the foreground are the remains of old machines, long rusted, leaving strange shapes in the landscape. Shallow water covers rocks and sand, reflecting the sunrise and Horus remains above.

Riverhymn. Early afternoon in a small Utaru settlement. The settlement is built around a large tree, covered in lamps, conveying it's importance.

Clementine moments before disaster. It's the middle of the day in the Burning Shores, and In the foreground is an overridden clawstrider, charging ahead. In the background, chasing the clawstrider is Aloy, hoping to curtail the chaos.

was gonna do a quick rundown of my fave #VP2024, a shot a month, but couldn't always pick just one so🤷‍♀️

I'm pretty happy with the shots I got this year, and how I improved, thanks for all the support 💙
