Is there a guide out there on getting on top of the Space Needle after completing the story mission that takes place there? I was able to get on top of the elevator near the top of the structure using (power spoilers)
the triple jump of the concrete power,
only to be blocked by invisible walls when trying to reach the very top.

Do you add the URL of the image as an image or a URL when posting?

Just insert the URL that leads directly to the file between the

Unless they've changed something in the patch, you have to move a little ways away from the side of the space tower, out into the open air, to get around the invisible walls. They don't extend out very far. From there, it's just some tricky climbing to the top.

Wow, this games is gorgeous.
Looks like comic book stills, the only thing missing is the caption bubbles.
If SP added that feature we might see dedicated fans making their own online comic book fan tales directly from the PS4 using the photo mode.

Be neat if we can get a GIF mode also.

These are all so awesome! I saw a screenshot (probably at Kotaku) that shows screws flying around as you destroy stuff. Now that's attention to detail. :D

I'm really surprised at how robust it is! Here's my first couple of attempts!

Neon is my favourite power by far.

I did reach the very top using the same method but couldn't land on the Space Needle itself hence I just went into Photomode from the very closest point I could hit with.
 
Some tips for camera control

Put your camera in place first using camera orbit and camera distance. Don't worry about trying to frame your shot at the beginning. The camera only moves in a globe of space around Delsin and the orbit and distance controls are always relative to Delsin (not where the camera is pointing), so panning your shot before you place your camera will make camera movement disorienting.

Once you've done that, frame your shot using pan/tilt, camera rotation, and field of view (zoom) - none of these settings change where the physical camera is which is why it's best to do them last. Don't use the camera distance setting as a zoom because it is relative to Delsin's position, so it may appear to move the camera in weird directions if you've already panned your shot.

Make minor adjustments with all the controls once you've framed your shot. Only lightly tap the stick when tweaking so you don't lose where you were.

Now get your focus. Easiest way to do this is to first shrink the DoF range by decreasing the f-number (hold L1 while in DoF control mode). This will make the focus range narrower. Move it around with the left stick so the object you want is in focus. Then expand focus with R1 to increase f-number so you know that your subject is in the centre of the focus range.

Apply filters as you like and then save!

Believe me the compression doesn't do justice with this shot as when viewed natively you would've literally have had your jaw dropped, the front bumper looked extremely real and detailed...

For some reason all these images have come out a lot darker than they were on the PS4 :( In some of the photos I've exported you can't see shit anymore, shame!

Puddles and reflections in this game are beautiful.

Those vertical ones had be me lying on my table trying to frame them and then I started getting a bit disoriented and had to just take the screenshots, lol.

The only editing that was done with any of these was rotating the image itself from landscape to portrait, all the effects are from in game. Haven't had this much fun with a photo mode since GT5, the game is just gorgeous.

Stunning !

Decided to give photo mode a try last night, didn't progress in the story much! I can already tell this second playthrough is gonna take me a helluva long time.

Used the PS App trick on an unsuspecting friend (I sent him an apologetic message before flooding him with a torrent of screens) and then hosted through imgur (which is an absolute ballache to use on my iPad).

Protip: Make a second account for yourself, then send messages to that. Then on the mobile PS App (while still logged into your own main account) just look at your outgoing messages for the photos.

No need to spam friends. :)

Soon redundant anyway with 1.7

I will never get tired to look at Infamous SS it seems. So natural.

Guys let's find the divine power source of this deliciously crafted DoF so that we can use it in ENBs. :(
 
Oh thread what did you do to me, I was about to go and get the game now but all stores around me are either sold-out of it or carry it for 69.99€ which I refuse to pay since I have seen other stores having it for 59.99€ already :/

First post and through Twitter so don't hate me!

Absolutely amazed at the level of detail. Seriously, would people have even noticed the rust and links on the chain if it wasn't for the photo mode?!

Pick it up digitally from the US store? Get the cards from Amazon. Cheapest way if you want to go digital.

Christ. As usual, your shots take the cake. You should just have your own thread :b
Hehe, thanks! :D
And there have been plenty of fantastic screenshots here, far better than anything I could come up with!

Some absolutely amazing screenshots. So smart from them to add this feature, people value it and enjoy themselves using it and they get free promotion for their game.
