Share Your Screenshots, Tips, and Tricks

Well, here are a few shots featuring the ODST and the Recon. *I’m gonna do more ODST shots before tomorrow night.

I have an obession with Vertigo Map. Love the weather condition of the map.

Recon vs. ODST is an awesome shot.

Screenshot

Here’s one I did a min ago.

Hey photographers, my name is oObeX. Nowadays I usually make Grifball screenshots for GrifballHub.com. However, in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, I often made other screenshots.

Here’s a sample of my old work from Halo: Reach…

Ghost - this was inspired by one of my Halo 3 screenshots.

The Storm - this one earned me a star in Halo: Reach.

UNREAL - this was one of my first screenshots in Halo: Reach.

Click here for my Halo 3 screenshots. :slight_smile:

I believe this is my first time posting in this thread. I’m impressed with how much activity there is here. It’s almost like this thread is its own section on Halo Waypoint. :slight_smile:

I don’t usually make screenshots for The Halo Bulletin, but I decided to make one this time for fun…

Pitfall

Finally, since this is the first time I’ve actually posted in this thread, and I don’t know much about what’s going on here, let me know if I’ve got this right. I just read on page 29 that there is a monthly contest with prizes, courtesy of deluca34. It also sounds like members can submit as many screenshots as they want, and it doesn’t matter what type of screenshot it is.

If that’s true, I would love to participate and submit some of my screenshots for this month.

Longbow Sky - one of my personal favourites from last year.

Grifball - one of my first Halo 4 screenshots.

Knockout - fancy Grifball screenshot from August 2013.

Thank you.

So, I got this one for tomorrow. Not as good as my oddball one, but still good.
They need a hero
Also, how do I remove tags from my screenshots? Some trolls have put stupid ones on most of mine.

Well after a weekend and a bit away form technology whilst storming a French Fortress for a paintball event, I am back!

Gotta say folks, there’s some damn delicious Screenshots being posted up for the ODST theme! The gallery from this week’s Bulletin should be looking stunning when it’s posted on the Saturday!

I decided to mess around and work on my own ODST Screenshots after returning form France using Impact as the set. I mostly used my usual Juicy + Colorblind combination but then I also tried on with Next Gen, Colorblind and Olde Timey with a good friend of mine as he dipped his toe into Screenshot taking. He’s done pretty darn good too with his attempts:

And here are my ODST creations:

  • Vintage Warrior - Taken with Colorblind and Olde Timey being used if I remember correctly. A very simple Screenshot involving the Spartan running towards you. I like the motion it implies a lot personally.
  • Goose Drop - Taken whilst falling to my doom upon a Mongoose. I went for this spot because it shows off the red nebulae in the background nicely against the foreground of the ODST looking down to his “drop zone”.
  • The Shock Trooper - If there’s one thing I like about using the Juicy + Colorblind combination is that it accentuates and darkens shaded zones. This allows me to just have the Spartan as the focus. You can find a number of spot like this on Impact easily to get unique Spartan only style Screenies.
  • ODST Overwatch - Whilst the ODST helmet doesn’t look fully authentic, I do like how the shadows play across the visor, especially in this piece.
  • Hellfire - Simple muzzle flare style Screenshot. Like the Oceanic helmet, because the ODST helmet is mostly visor, you get fantastic flare glow on the helmet if you pick the right colours.
  • Orbital Drop - Really proud of this one with how I managed to get the damaged moon behind the ODST as he drops and fires with his magnum. This one showcases that glow and shadow I mentioned above too so very happy RECEPTOR. :smiley:
  • Proud Legacy - And finally, this is my good friend whilst we were messing around on our Screenshot set with Next Gen, Colorblind and Olde Timey active.

++++

And that’s it! Hope I didn’t swamp you all too much, good luck to everyone who’s given the ODST challenge a go!

Nice shots receptor as allways.

Well played.
Those are some excellent screenshots.

Yay, I won. :smiley:
Deluca, I’ll take just the Scout TOXIC code, :slight_smile:

Good evening to everybody here.

Congrats to everybody who won in the October contest Deluca held. Great pictures coming along from everybody here! I just… wait I won as well? Well, I will have to PM you then Deluca as I wasn’t expecting that, thank you. I guess that answered my question regarding this photo: Is Deluca Pondering or Snickering?

I must say DHG Siul S249 that I am really impressed with your ‘Out of Darkness’ photo. A very nice Black and White photo that brings out the best in terms of detail of the armor selection you decided to use. Intimidating, powerful, and deadly is clearly said with this photo without a question of a doubt.

Asa for Riot Roja’s ‘Brothers to the End’ photo, it brings out a lot in terms of a push comes to shove time for when ODST and Spartans are working together. It looks like split second decisions are being made here between the two before getting to action to get the job done.

As for Receptor17’s photos, as usual, you always impress :slight_smile: . Your constant use of dynamic angles, colors, and lighting always bring out the most in your pictures. Extremely thoughtful ODST pictures as well, Blast Zone Being my favorite.

Smileyken, well done on your photo as well. The use of a Spartan’s shield’s recharging with other lighting has given your recent photo a dynamic perspective.

oObex, you seem to have some original ideas there. They have some interesting results that impresses me. Keep up the great photos.

Noble138, your recent photo reminds me of a story, one in which an imcoming storm approaches. Well done on your use of angles as well as the kill ball in the background.

I have some new photos to share with everybody. There were a handful of photos I have taken from the Devil’s Night Community Event that thy ReaperMC hosted, which was a lot of fun, and even deluca tagged along for some matches. I have a whole assortment of photos, however I am going to post the more artistic ones here. If you want to see them all, goto the the File Browser on this site under screenshots and in the filter type in ‘devils night 2013’. All the photos should come up. I hope everybody enjoys:

Magic 8-Ball

Awesome FX

Happy Devil’s Night!

This isn’t good…

Hammer Club!

The Flames Burn Brightly

Reaper in his Prime

Lizking in his Prime

Forerunner Tractor Beam

Authorized Personnel Only

Shooting Star

I hope everybody enjoys these photos and have a great night. Also, deluca, are you going to take any photos from Devil’s Night Community 2013? I am interested in seeing what photos you do take if you happen to do so.

Congrats to October’s winners! Very well deserved pieces, now to up my game for November…I do hope you have a Scout TOXIC skin left Deluca or I may go nuts! :stuck_out_tongue:

> As for Receptor17’s photos, as usual, you always impress :slight_smile: . Your constant use of dynamic angles, colors, and lighting always bring out the most in your pictures. Extremely thoughtful ODST pictures as well, Blast Zone Being my favorite.

Thanks for the compliments lizking! but I cannot take credit for Blast Zone though, that owuld be my “mischievous twin” Poetepoet who took it in his first real Screenshot photo shoot with me whilst I showed him some tips and tricks. He’s done flippin’ awesome for his first real attempt!

With the Screenies you’ve taken, Awesome FX really takes the biscuit for me, a fantastically dynamic Screenshot! Very apt for All Hallow’s Eve.

With Smashing Punkins in the playlist for the moment, I’d strongly advise everyone plays it and then saves the gametype into their Local Files as the green and orange look absolutely stunning on the right maps! I took up a challenge form Halo Wapyoint’s Twitter accoutn and have made a boatload of Smashing Punkins screenshots in my Temporary History but here’s a handful of highlights:

  • Tiger Chase - As I tweeted earlier today, the Hazop armour with the FOREST skin (still super grateful for that gift Deluca!) looks absolutely glorious in the Punkins colour, reminds me a bit of a tiger, hence the name.

[/li]- Tiger Run - Same as above, but taken downstairs to have the Forerunner architecture feature with the Hazop Spartan.

  • Oncoming III - A simple piece where I’m being attacked by 2 Recruits. I sadly did not survive the encounter.

  • Saunter - A simple looking up Screenshot on Simplex with my Oceanic armour and my new Cyan helmet, after finally earning the “From the Brink” Mastery. I like having the Sun included in this to add to the brightness.

  • Orbital Light - I love utilising the Orbital helmet for the skull on the front. This was just an opporuntunity Screenshot when I paused and turned around to notice the light column behind the Spartan.

  • Green Silhouette - I am very happy indeed with the lighting and angle on this one, taken just after I’d jumped down to the bottom level on Haven where the Mancannon is just as the game finished. Haven really provides a lot of great lighting and shadow places.

And that’s it form me for now! Catch you guys another time!

I am happy to hear that you liked my screenshots from Devil’s Night Community 2013. The photo ‘Awesome FX’ was honestly a fluke, an accident so to speak. I have a handful of photos with the ‘Giant -Yoinking!- punkin’ as Deluca calls it, lol, but this was created oddly enough from people messing around. I think it was RJCCJ who spawned an Auto Sentry for fun, and S452 destroyed it. The photo you are seeing is when the turret blew up, so if it wasn’t for them, that photo wouldn’t exist, so partial credit has to goto them.

> I see once again that you have a great variety of awesome pictures yet again, utilizing those elements I talked about to bring out the best in a picture. Tiger Chase in my opinion is the best, as it dynamically speaks of a situation of high energy, of one spartan protecting the oddball, while the other trys to get it. Well done once again :slight_smile: .

You CAN’T remove tags from screenshots.

I can see that.

Just practicing…. my 2 this weekend, Skyline, juicy and colorblind. Trying to match the color’s of the light rifle. I think I will see what the plasma pistol colors will look like next time and carry a solid color alternate weapon in addition to the pistol.

I look forward each week to see all the screen shots that are posted and what everyone is working on. THANK’s!

@Receptor 17 - really liked Tiger Run!
@Riot Rojas - Brothers till the End was a great shot.

Hey, Deluca. Here are two random shots of the Recon and the Scout.
