They Seemed In A Hurry And I Had Ladybirds To Attend To

Postcards from FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE.

Last month’s Now Playing saw Chris Thursten exploring low-stakes PUBg matches. The idea was to stack the odds so heavily against yourself that losing was almost certain and you could enjoy getting as far as you could. I have decided to embrace a similar philosophy in Fortnite to allow myself to experiment with faux long-exposure screenshots.

As with real-life photography, you either need very understanding friends to come on the trip with you, or you must embrace total solitude. Just as it is not okay to assume your IRL walking companion wants to spend three hours standing near a cluster of damselflies, it is also not okay to assume three strangers will delight in having a teammate who is only there to stand perfectly still near a weeping willow for 30 seconds.
