Share Your Screenshots, Tips, and Tricks

After taking a nice long look through these shots I can definitely say that you guys have done a fantastic job and y’know what? I’m feeling inspired! I might just load up my halo 4 disk and take a few shots!

Also check it out! I have the photographer medal! I’m now one of you! XD

Mecha here again. Sorry if I’m taking up space but I have a few shots I’d very much like to share with you all!

First things first “HERES ONE” is a grenade themed image. Rather simple

Secondly heres some shots I made due to some inspiration thanks to you guys.

bright

NO (funny themed one)

Planet

Enjoy and have a nice evening :smiley:

Well I wasn’t in the last bulletin but oh well, onto the pink theme.

The only problem with pink is that I have a massive case of screenshotter’s block. I’m not sure where to begin on this theme and I’m wondering if anyone here wants to help me.

@ Mecha - I liked “bright” and “Planet” . I think the colors in “bright” went well together and the black and white armor on “Planet” really fit the back ground space scenery. Thank you for posting!

@ Gothic Lucy - Congratulation’s with “Solstice” in this weeks “grenade” spotlight. It was my favorite :slight_smile:

Next weeks is Pink.
edit:
@Topsniper707- I think the FX Juicy brings out some pinks on the legendary visor and some weapon skins. Also when you are in the out of bounds soft kill zone’s it will give the area a reddish hue at about the 8 second mark. That may work with some armor colors (just a thought, no experience). I looked in my list of previous screenshots and maybe 2 have some pink. Hopefully “Brown” will be a spotlight theme in the future, I seem to have lot’s of ideas for that color :wink:

Good luck to all participating in next weeks spotlight and looking forward to seeing everyone’s screenshots (pink or not) in the forum!

Good morning everybody.

Congratulations to everybody whose photo was featured in the ‘grenade’ themed screenshot feature. This week’s theme is ‘pink’. Now I know this may sound awkward, but when the theme was ‘purple’ weeks ago, some people were producing more pinkish than purple screenshots. For those that have done so, this is your time to rise with them :slight_smile: . Good luck to everybody who will be featuring photos for this theme. A little hint: the Juicy Gadget FX is great for turning Orange colored armor rose pink :slight_smile: .

Congratulations to you as well Mecha Sh0ckwave regarding your photographer forum medal. You most certainly earned it :slight_smile: and it looks like you have some new screenshots to share as well. I like them a lot, and from I can see, you really like using the ‘next gen’ gadget FX. I see you have had some practice utilizing it, as your screenshots look awesome. They all seem to have a unique feel to them and the coloring is different. Well done with your new batch of screenshots.

I happen to have some more photos as I had another Rumble Pit game night last night with Cartwright5 and Cizlin for photo and commedation purposes. Thankfully, another local friend returned to Halo 4 from battlefield 4 last night and joined in on the fun. Even though being a vehicle driver is more his thing, Prepaidmountain made a return with Cartwright5, and with the four of us, we managed to get some nice screenshots.

Slice and Dice
The Group
Teamwork I
Be my Wingman Anytime
Teamwork III
Teamwork IV
Teamwork V
Teamwork VI
Teamwork VII
Teamwork VIII
Hunting Party
Still Remember the First Photo Op

‘Slice and Dice’ was actually an accident of a photo where Cizlin and I apparently sworded an enemy Spartan-IV simultaneously. The teamwork photos were created for photo op purposes, which worked out well, especially ‘Teamwork VII’. ‘Still Remember the First Photo Op’ has a bit of a story to it. Back in the days of Halo: Reach, I was getting screenshots with Cartwright5 and he slowly looked over at me with an energy sword. I said “What?” with his response being silence. After a couple of seconds, he sworded me and started laughing, so whenever I have a gaming event with him present, I try to assassinate him at least once and get a photo of it. He feels that I haven’t gotten over that time, but I do that for laughs, lol.

As for ‘Hunting Party’, Cizlin, Prepaidmountain, and I teamed up to take out an enemy spartan-IV who we felt was ill-legit, which we found out later was true, as we found that individual spawning into the map with a certain BR BLAST that they shouldn’t have had.

Spawning in with the BR BLAST
He Should Not Have the BR BLAST
Should Not Have the BR BLAST

This is what I thought of him when he was king in a game of Regicide, lol:

Execution

All in all, it was a really fun night and I want to thank Cartwright5, Prepaidmountain, and Cizlin for making that possible.

That is all I have for now, so have a great day now everybody and keep the awesome screenshots coming :slight_smile: .

Thank you Lizking for reminding me to post Torn Paint and thank you for posting it as well.Double WHAMMY! I’m also glad I got up in the Grenade Spotlight. :smiley:

Torn Paint

> @ Mecha - I liked “bright” and “Planet” . I think the colors in “bright” went well together and the black and white armor on “Planet” really fit the back ground space scenery. Thank you for posting!

Thanks a bunch man! Glad you like them! Fun fact the armour on “planet” is actually just simple yellow but came out as black and white…a good mistake if you will :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey thanks a lot! it’s great to finally have that medal! it’ll give my captain one some company haha.

The next gen is kinda my go to FX. obviously I try different FX but the next gen one really suits my shot style! Im glad you like the new shots. Can’t wait to get some Pink themed one’s posted for you all to see :smiley:

Hello screenshotters. Boy, do I have some things for you today.

Just random goodlookingness.
Blue Flare

A touch of funny
Breaking All of the Rules

Thanks! I look forward to the day you get your medal! Because it’ll be soon! I just know it! :smiley:

Also guys I have just one pink themed screenshot to share but I feel its a good one I’ll have more soon!

Turning Pink

Don’t you hate it when your world starts turning pink? Coz I do! I love how I made it look like a pink infection was spreading around the map. Also many thanks to lizking10152011 for the tip on orange armour with Juicy FX. Was a big help!.

Have they moved the Screenshot Spotlight section? The most recent one I’ve seen there is “Green” … I haven’t seen the “Haven” or “Grenade” one anywhere.

… nevermind found it! And one of mine made it in! Just found out 2 weeks late. lol.

Okay, so I’ve been having a blast playing Ricochet Rebound and decided to take a few shots of my teammates. Obviously, there are no FX on these or anything … just highlight moments.

SPACE JAM

“BENCHED”

GOOOAAALLLL!!!

“YOU HAVE THE BALL”

um … scary ball in space … (no creative title for this one)

I hope you guys enjoy Ricochet Rebound while it lasts.

And to Mecha Sh0ckwave: “NO” gave me a chuckle … the description sells it. And congrats on the medal! I got mine for a “Nature” themed screenshot (this one). I had a second one featured in “Haven” (this one)… I get more recognition on here than I do at work!
Congrats again!

> Okay, so I’ve been having a blast playing Ricochet Rebound and decided to take a few shots of my teammates. Obviously, there are no FX on these or anything … just highlight moments.

@ MrMartini85 - I agree, I enjoyed Ricochet Rebound. My in-game screenshots did not turn out as well as yours. I thought “Benched” was funny and my favorite was “You have the Ball”.

I saved the RR maps and went back in and played around some this week. I turned off teams and did not use any special FX. I believe GridLock has pretty good lighting.

I took a similar shot as “scary ball in space”
“I wear my sun glasses at night” the song dates me and was not great, but it is one of those that gets stuck in my head…

On a little more serious note:

I attempted some “Pink” ideas last week, it was a bust for me. And after the 1st photo session in Pink, my Spartan decided to average a 0.5 KD in my initial multiplayer games. Must have been a sign.

I did come up with a screenshot that I feel was a decent red one:
“Red Velvet”

@Topsniper707 - “Menace” is an excellent screenshot! You made pink look BadA$$! :slight_smile:

@Gothic Lucy - I like “Pink Soul”. I think the title fits the screenshot and I like the different shades of pink which added the definition to your Spartan amor.

Good Luck tomorrow to those entering screenshots for “Pink”.

I look forward to viewing everyone’s screenshot’s and comments in the forum!

I was going to say that I remember the song as well (I mean, I do) but I looked it up and it’s 2 years older than me, so for once on this forum, I feel kind of young … or am I being presumptuous in assume the average age on this forum is 16 instead of nearly 30? lol.

You definitely did a better job capturing that skull-ball. I was having a hell of a time trying to make the blue streak work and you pulled it off by having it beaming from its eyes. Well done.

Here are two for “Adrift”:

The Heavens

The Hell Jumper

Good evening everybody.

To start, congratulations to everybody who had their ‘Pink’ themed photo featured in last week’s feature. This week’s feature theme is ‘Adrift’, so best of luck to everybody who participates in this week’s theme.

Quite the bit of good screenshots since I last visited, let me look at them.

topsniper707, I managed to get quite the chuckle from ‘Breaking all of the Rules’. That was rather clever, I must admit. I dunno how you managed to get the FX you did in ‘Blue Flare’, but very nice FX :slight_smile: .As for ‘Menace’, very nice use of either the Pen and Ink and/or Nova FXs. I really knike how the Spartan-IV is outlined in Pink. Well done with your photos.

Mecha Shockwave, ‘Turning Pink’ is rather interesting as it does look as if the pink color is taking over. I like the photo alot. Did you utilize Red and Purple lights with the Nova FX to create this? If not, I am curious to hear how you pulled this off as it is a nice photo. Well done.

MrMartini85, it seems like you enjoyed Ricochet Rebound based upon your photos :slight_smile: . I enjoyed each of these, Ricochet with a Space-like feel to it. Well done with your photos.

Z6NITRO, you also have an interesting set of Ricochet Rebound Photos. ‘I Wear My Sunglasses at Night’ actually gave me a bit of a laugh. The ball looks like it has blue shades and looks like it is a bit ‘happier’ than normal, lol. Well done with your photos.

Gothic Lucy, well done with your recent photo
Pink Soul. I am unsure exactly how you managed to pull off this FX as the color expands to the background, but well done with your photo, an original as usual :slight_smile: .

RECEPTOR 17, I had a great time having a session where we tested out a Pink FX utilizing Juicy and Nova FXs on Shatter with Red and Purple Lights combined. Congratulations on getting Piercing Pink. featured as well, as you did that photo on your own and the amount of pink was balanced enough that other colors were visible. Pinpoint Needle was really nice as well, well done with your recent photos.

I have some new photos to share with everybody, and I will start with my ‘Pink themed’ photos, and I know, I am late again, lol. RECEPTOR 17 and I messed around with a Pink Luminescent FX on Shatter that I mentioned above, and here is my results from it:

Ditertbutylphenyl + DPA
Pink Ring

As for other photos, Cizlin, RJCCJ, S452 and I had another session of Kicking mantis, and there were some interesting new photo ops.

Spider Spartan
Hmmm…
Ghost Rider

I also messed around on Monolith recently with the Juicy and Next Gen FX as well as other forge elements, such as lights, kill balls, and man cannons. These two ‘Master Chief’ themed photos are the awesome results.

Forerunner
Midnight

As for screenshots from gameplay, I have a couple of new ones from that as well :slight_smile: .

Birdman
Hit the Brakes
Now Thats a Knife
Distorted

‘Birdman’ was an accidental discovery when going through footage from a Quick Draw match and provided me with a good laugh. ‘Hit the Brakes’ was during a game of Neutral Flag. I splattered an enemy Spartan and noticed S452 going for the flag and last second let go of the thrusters, throwing myself on a side angle, barely missing him. The other two photos were from a recent game of mini slayer.

That is all I have for now, so have a great night everybody and keep the awesome screenshots coming :slight_smile: .

> Here are two for “Adrift”:

> The Hell Jumper

I didn’t have enough room to comment about these in my first message, but I must say I really like ‘The Hell Jumper’. Despite this photo being black and white from the ‘Colorblind’ FX, it is cleverly set up and really vivid. The ODST from the Armory. I like the theme. Well doen with your ‘Adrift’ themed photos :slight_smile: .

Hey guys. It’s been a good while since I payed a visit to the forums. Sorry for my lack of photos and general activity. This whole heartbleed thing had me worried about logging in until I knew waypoint was safe.

@lizking10152011: I actaully used the purple light and orange to with the nova effect. so you were close to the mark. The map environment really made the pink stand out. Glad you like the shot.

Congrats to those who got their pink themed shots featured in the bulletin. Looking forward to seeing the Adrift themed shots! :smiley:

Josh OIAH has posted his 14th edition screenshot montage “Screen Shot | 14
Many of the forum regulars are included in this installment. Well Done!

Also, Congratulations to those with entries included in the “Pink” spotlight.

@Lizking - I think Both “Forerunner” and “Midnight” are Great screenshots. I can’t pick a favorite :slight_smile:
I also enjoyed your in-game screenshots.

@MrMartini85 - My favorite is “Hell Jumper”. Excellent effort with Color Blind!

Adrift should be fun. I think Color Blind + Juicy work well on this map.
I tag most of my screenshots with the map name so I believe I already have several in the hopper.

and lastly:
I took several screenshots after a SWAT game teamed with Neonsnewo (my youngest). I actually led most of the game until it timed out and the lobby screen came up and he saw I was in the lead. We did place 1st and 2nd and were on the winning team!
(I was not number one, oh to be young again)
Hall Monitors

I did accomplish last kill “in-game”, and after the game was over someone on the other team felt they were due an assassination, “Busted”, I think I also got last kill after the game :wink:

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
