> Winner!

> PM me for some winnings!
If you donāt mind me asking deluca, which photo in particular was the winner? This can give me a better perspective on what type of photos to aim for in the future when taking screenshots. I know there was a bit of everything, however I want to aim in the right direction with future photos to make them more artistic and creative. Also for the winning photo, anything I can do int he future to improve the style of photo?
I also e-mailed you regarding the āwinningsā as I do believed that I missed something. I didnāt see anything regarding winning contests in this thread, however I could have skipped over something.
I cant just pick one, I like them all. As for winnings, add me as a buddy or open your PM settings to ALL.
Wow, I ask for likes, I get 50+ downloads on an image. Hmm, if i ask for download, will I get likes instead? Lol. What on earth would 50 people do with that screenshot of mine, well, it was meant for wallpaper. lol. Iām using it, lol. I just really didnāt expect any likes or downloads.
Well, anyway, off to bed, 2:11 AM here.

Thanks, yea, I know that feeling, got some game-types that can get up to 900 or more & I even had that had 6.1k downloads, no hopefully the screenshot can measure up to it.
But thanksā¦
> I kinda only started trying to get some good screens but I donāt think these arenāt that good
The two shots of MC close are nice, stay on that course. As with anything, practice makes perfect.
Deluca: Your good at screenshots, I was gonna ask you if you kne how I could get some great poses like Master Chief, only with my spartan, make him stand out, look like he is, i;e, maybe his future son. Long shot I know, but hey, Masterchief canāt stay alone forever, maybe in next halo cortana becomes a real human being & there physical attraction & yadyada, you get the point. lol. Make my character have overwheming awesome feeling in picturesā¦
Any pointers?
I will use chief in some shots this weekend. If you see one that catches your eye, let me know and I will explain how to capture it.
If I have time I will send you an invite to show you how to set it up.
I just made this one day for the screenshot contest thing: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/s1l3n7assass1n1/halo4/fileshare#?details=85cb15e1-9117-4ad6-95cf-cfcb63a716cd
After seeing how many downloads it got I was thinking about making this for each weapon.

I really like this https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo4/filebrowser#?details=5ec78b53-cdae-4812-b617-29b3b502b754 but iām wondering, if, might, be by chance, i can do a yellow instead of red overlay if possible, that is. If not, blue is next optionā¦
I also like this one too, lol.
> Opinions to mine?

> āNever underestimate⦠him.ā
I love that, could you show me other tricks that would look great for Master Chief?

Anyway, I got the yellow I wanted, not exact way I wanted like I thought of deluca, but see what you think.

Good evening everybody. I wanted to let everybody know that they are doing a fantastic job on their creative photos. I have yet to see anybody attempting a cone picture for the next weeks bulletin. I would like to share mine, and Cosmic Storm300, you might be able to benefit from it, as the photo does have a pose for the Master Chief

Halo 4 Photo:
Why Does This Feel Familiar?
The idea of the photo is a Halo 2 Metropolis reference as well as a Scarab Gun reference. The idea came to mind, as I recently found my Halo 2 disc, and with the āConeā theme for next week, I figured this would be ideal. Keep up the great work with your screenshots and have a great night now

The unique shading of yellow was created with a combination of an angular glare from the sun on the Landfall Map from Majestic DLC and the Juicy FX. Taking photos on angles with certain lighting or special FX can create dynamic results Cosmic Storm300. I hope this inspires you with your future photos and helps you create some special lighting or dynamic pictures yourself :).

Landfall, k⦠I just love yellow and brown, My first Fav. Color = White 2nd: Yellow/Metallic Gold and Neon Brown for 3rd. Middle color I just canāt decide.
K, so all I need to do is find something that has a brown shading and use the juicy effect, Erosion might work, but its always to bright.
& Everyone has permission just to call me Cosmic, as that is name I really wanted as my GT but it was either took or too short, canāt remember.
What ya think, something like MC doing?

That is an awesome photo. Looks like a reactor is releasing energy in the background. This was a nice photo to take on Wreckage. Did you use the Juicy FX?

Yep, all thanks to you, I also used colorblind & old timey gfx to to get it brown but instead it made everything brighter. Then I decided I try to mix orange & green lights for a pad to get brown & saw light coming off the reactor & decided I wanted to abuse it to. so, I made 2 orange lights & one green light, laid them inside each other, & it did look brown, but light glow looked greenish yellow, just the light itself looked brown. Then I set myself up & looked around and etc for about 10 minutes, hit save. I owe you a big help. Thank you⦠Thatswhy at the tip of the AR you see the green do to the gadgets light.
Fun Tip:
Put red or yellow flashing orb in a big color one to make it flash the big oneās color. IāE flashing green or etc.
