(This is my first post here, so I hope I did everything right!)

How into screen shots is the community here? I myself fancy screenshots as a form of art, a way to capture the worlds I explore so regularly.

If anyone else is interested in them, then I have a group I am starting to celebrate screenshots for the art they are, which can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ArtoftheScreen

And of course, to get things started I would like to offer a giveaway to those who are interested in joining! The URL can be found in the group forums as a member! It's for Civilization 5 Complete.

How much enjoyment do you get from taking that perfect screenshot?

It's what I game for!
I like getting good caps.
50/50, if I think about it it's cool, if I don't, meh.
Screenshots? What?
Leave the screenshots for the boxart, you guys are wasting time!

I take screenshots once in a while.
Not so much anymore because I can't run games at a very high graphical fidelity so they don't look good.

I like using screenshots to capture beautiful scenery, but i often don't do that unless I play a game specifically for that purpose because I'm usually to engrossed in the game and forget about it until it's too late and things often don't look great on my crappy computer. I also wanted to use screenshots as a way to tell a story, but I tried it and found out steam doesn't have a way to order them.

When I don't go into a game to take screenshots, I usually just take screenshots of my accomplishments and cool/interesting/perverted events, moments or items. If I remember I a also capture the scenery.

I won't join 'cause my computer runs games like shit so my screenshots look like shit.

We have room for everyone. There are no graphical requirements for showing off moments you have enjoyed in your games.

I love taking a screenshot every once in a while :D.

I just stare at some screenshots and just thing to myself "How the hell did they do this in a video game" ;-;

One of my last screenshots are from The Ship, because one of my friends died in a hilarious pose that looked like his character is showing off her ass.
Yep, definitely art.

I like it, and I wish I could take better screenshots, but my GPU ruins my life.
I had some troubles in games for doing that, especially in games with QTE. To spam F12 or to pass a damn QTE, that's the question. And I choose art :3

Always art, the game can reload as many times as needed, eh?

Feel free to share your screens with us, there aren't any GPU requirements, we aren't that fancy. :)

I treat taking screenshots in games the same way I treat taking photos in reality.
So I often attempt to make visually pleasing screens of, well, pretty much everything and anything that is worth screenshotting :)

Not always, though. Sometimes I take screens of funny or silly things, and sometimes I don't feel like screenshotting anything at all.

Yep, the art of screenshotting is a true art, but recently I had trouble with the Steam overlay with some games so I can't take screenshots in them anymore...
What's the criteria for the group by the way?

There really isn't any. If you would like to share your screenshots with our community and enjoy looking at what other people have captured, join up. Our only real criteria is just following the rules; i.e. no harassment or trolling, etc.

I hope you can get your overlay fixed. There are methods around it that still allow posting the screenshots to Steam, but they aren't as easy as F12.

Yeah, seems like a nice idea, I actually joined before asking but I was just checking.
I don't know a lot of alternative methods, I know the "capturing the screen by a program and uploading it as an artwork" method, but I don't know how to upload it as a screenshot.

I take a lot of screenshots. I've got a mouse with an extra button between the left button and the wheel, and I have it bound to Steam's screenshot button so I can take screenshots while doing whatever.

Joined your group.
You should add one more rule though xD To post screenshots which contain spoilers marked as spoiler xD
I hate when my friends post something that I shouldn't seen yet (and it's not marked as spoiler) xD

I started playing Black Desert Online yesterday and i'm so hyped that I make screenshots whenever I find another intricate detail

omg fighting monsters makes your clothes bloody [printscrn]
omg if you walk trough water you clean your bloody clothes [printscrn]
omg your character sweats when you run around in the desert [printscrn]
omg you can actually see the puddles of water slowly increase in size when its raining [printscrn]
omg you can't tan hides when it's raining in the crafting system [doesn't even make sense to printscrn]

That is what I have ended up doing after having to clean around a thousand shots off of my profile. Mine aren't super fancy either.

Not so much a fan of taking screens, I do some for personal amusement. I do like when people on my Friend's list post them though, generally will take the time to look at all of them.

I don't know that art can be a competition, but I bet that dick pics would be in their own genre.
