Hello everyone! Sorry for not posting any gaming content for a bit, I was busy with exam season here. However, now it's over and I have summer break! Which means I have more free time to play and post on here.
Anyways, the photo event is back on genshin, but with new locations. I really liked the simplicity of this event, it also allows us to intake the beautiful scenery in Genshin Impact. Altogether you can obtain 420 primogems from this event which isn't too bad.
This is the first location we must take a photo at. Along with the photo there are requirements within it. If you click the "go take photos" in the bottom right corner it will tell you on the map where the exact location is and mark it with a camera symbol. Don't forget to equip the kamera item in your inventory! So you can take the actual photos (using 'z' key on pc.)
Looks like we're first heading to Gandharva Ville in Sumeru. Here you can set up the cameras angle, there are three presets to choose from (at the top) I liked the first one best because it really includes everything in this scenery.
I confirmed the kamera setting clicking 'enter' and then used Kazuha's anemo elemental skill and clicked 'z'. (make sure you time it right, the photo has to be taken during the skill and not after.)
Location: Gandharva Ville, Sumeru | Character: Kazuha, Elemental Skill
Here is what the photo looked like. I'm pretty happy with it. It looks funny how Kazuha is really high above the ground, almost looks like he's falling. The scenery here in Sumeru looks amazing though. The green nature and blue river underneath the tree, as well as the flowers. Super beautiful π€©
Now we can go back to the event page and claim our 30 primogems from this picture! As well as mora and hero's wit which is always helpful.
There are quite a bit locations in the event, I will just be showing some of my favourites in this blog.
This is a location in Inazuma. Here I am setting up the angle. This area is really beautiful, the dark sky really makes the glowing blue flowers pop. Also the chinese architectural arch is the main focus in this photo.
Here we must use a character with a bow, and perform a charged attack when we take the photo. Here is what the final picture looked like:
Location: Chinju Forest, Inazuma | Character: Fischl, Charged attack
Here I am setting up the camera angle. This location shows the desert area in Sumeru, compared to before where we saw the green forest. I really like the rock structures in this location. The oasis vibe from the palm trees is also really nice.
In this photo we must use a dendro character. So I thought best to use my newest character, dendro archon. I've really been enjoying her playstyle actually. She creates so many new team compositions, maybe I'll create a blog post about it later. Anyways, we had to take the picture while they're walking (so click a walking key and 'z' key at the same time.) Here is the final image:
Location: Land Of Lower Setekh, Sumeru | Character: Nahida, Walking
Here is the next location. I absolutely love this scenery, I think it's one of my favourites in Sumeru. The glowing mushroom trees just look so mystical and elegant. I'm glad they included this location in this event.
For this location I must use any sword character (which I used Ayaka for) as well as use their elemental skill while taking the photo. Which I have done here, you can see that she has an ice particle aura around here. Kinda matches the blue vibe here actually. Here is the final image:
Location: Mawtiyima Forest, Sumeru | Character: Ayaka, Elemental Skill
Here is another location in Sumeru. I'm including lots of Sumeru locations in this blog because it's the newest region so why not haha. I'm bringing Mona in my party for this image. I actually don't use her much in my party, unless it's spiral abyss. She's the only character I use from Standard Banner, and she's definitely the best standard character. (She works really well in ayaka freeze teams too if you don't have Kokomi)
So we have to perform a normal attack with a hydro character in this image. When they say normal attack, you can do any hit (whether first one or last) Because each hit has a different animation. I used mona's last normal attack because it looked the best with this photo. It did take a few tries to get timing and placing it right, (because characters usually move when performing normal attacks) but it was worth it. Here's the final image:
Location: Avidya Forest, Sumeru | Character: Mona, Normal attack
I went back to the Sumeru desert in this image. Here we are taking a picture as the big firey aura pyramid as the main point. I predicted they would add this location because it's quite a big thing you see when exploring the desert.
For this image we must use a pyro character in one of their idle animations. I brought my favourite and my first featured 5 star character in Genshin Impact, Hu Tao. I always use her to this day. She's usually in my main party with Zhongli. I love her playstyle, damage numbers, design and personality in the game. Perfect all around which is why I say she's my favourite π
Location: Land Of Upper Setekh, Sumeru | Character: Hu Tao, Dance Idle Animation
I've already showed so many locations in this event, this blog post is getting quite long, so here is the last one. I decided to go to a mondstadt region one because I haven't showed one from there yet. We had to use a mondstadt character in this one. Not me thinking at this time that Qiqi was a mondstadt character because she's in standard banner π
Anyways, I switched to Venti because he actually is a mondstadt character haha. We had to use an elemental skill in this photo. The bright aura line from his skill actually looked quite cool, so I kept this image. Here is the final result:
Location: Stormterror's Lair, Mondstadt | Character: Venti, Elemental Skill
That's all for this blog post. I hope you enjoyed coming along with me to take these images, it was quite fun setting these photos up and sharing them with you all. π I hope they continue to do this event when other regions come out.

I just wanted to do the event! Spent yesterday finishing the prerequisite quests and I can finally start them today... Heard that it's a quick and easy event, looking forward, ehe.
I see you have Nahida as well, she really broke the game with all the new possibilities. I even think that they made the dendro reactions a little too strong... But eh? Not a lot to complain about if that means that we can finally ditch the dependency on crit when dealing big numbers :)
Yea I feel like awhile ago the only useful stats were crit rate/crit dmg. I'm glad they're incorporating other stats in the game and making them more useful on newer characters, like hp, elemental mastery, def... Definitely makes artifact farming a little easier!
What teams do you usually run Nahida with? I'm still playing around in different team compositions with her. So far I really like a Nahida quicken team with Yae and Baal. Using Fischl instead also worked quite well.
Previously I was experimenting with Keqing/Xingqiu/Zhongli/Nahida (quicken + hyperbloom), and it worked surprisingly well... Recently I used Yanfei/Xingqiu/Zhongli/Nahida (burgeon), and it too worked surprisingly stupidly well. Until the shield runs out, hehe.
It still feels pretty unreal that now we can use triple EM artifacts and have reactions that nuke over 100k damage in total in one click. Perhaps this is what they call as powercreep...
Quicken and hyperbloom is super fun. I haven't tried burgeon yet personally, but I've seen really good things with it.
Yeah it does seem like a powercreep, but I think it's because there was already very good reactions like vaporize, and they wanted dendro reactions to be on par with that. Dendro was also a highly anticipated element and they probably didn't want to let players down.
But I also see it as a balancer because dendro reactions made the electro element good now which is nice, I felt that electro reactions were very lackluster before.
It's not only the reactions... Electro was underwhelming as a whole before this lol. Now we have, Keqing S tier electro DPS. Time really changes...
But at the end of the day, it means that we have more viable options to play! Good thing I guess. As long as they don't continue to multiply the Abyss mob's HP... The recent one is too tanky for me to figure it out.
Yeah I feel like the bosses and enemies are definitely getting more difficult in Genshin. Especially this new spiral abyss π₯΄
Now that's a nice event of a game. Those sceneries are really beautiful and colorful also.

Yes, genshin impact is known for vibrant and breathtaking sceneries in their game.
Thanks a lot for the tip! Really appreciate it. (:
It's my pleasure.
These are beautiful photos. Genshin Impact is really one of the most scenic games I've ever seen. Desert, forest, sky, there are landscapes of all themes. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Yeah definitely! They even have an snow mountain ice area. Although beautiful, it was a pain to explore because there was a chance to freeze to death if you went too long without warming up by a fire π
Thank you for the comment!
These events are very cool to get amazing photos of Genshin, also the amount of protogems that I gave out was pretty good :D
More primogems to go into my savings for scaramouche π
Thanks for the comment! (:
