So I went. And I made a couple (bad) shots for the screenshot spotlight with the Sticky Det.
And can’t seem to find out how to remove the HUD from the screenshot.
And I wonder why I’ve never attempted this before… facepalm
This is no grounds for a newb!

Hitting “B” should remove the HUD from a first-person screen shot. THIS might help you out … I just googled “Halo 4 screenshot tutorial” for you, I’m sure you can find more info to help you out.

There is a ton of information for the newcomer in the first 10 pages of this thread. I would suggest starting there.
Congrats to those who made the bulletin last theme. Onwards unto the shotgun theme. I’ll kick us off with “Spark of Life.” ( In file share as usual 
)
I was playing with my friend Spark918 when I captured this so you can what the ‘Spark’ of Life truly is about. This one comes out better on the website here but it might just be my television making it look a little fuzzy.
I look forward to seeing what you guys can come up with for this theme. Have a great day everyone. 
Hey-o!
Just wanted to drop in and say that I’m thoroughly impressed with what everybody has been coming up with for these past themes and I’m excited to see what new things you can create.
Keep it up!
Thanks to Mr. Martini and deluca for the helpful tips! ^-^
I got about half down the first page before pointers started triggering the “Hey newb, do research” voice in my brain. I shall listen to that voice. Onward!
Good evening everybody.
I have been rather busy lately, so I know I am late with this, but congratulations to everybody who had their photos featured in the most recent bulletin. This week’s theme is ‘Shotgun’. Helpful Hint, Flood variant gametypes can give some awesome (and sometimes funny) screenshots which can be good for the theme . And if all else fails with flood, you can get laughs form that gametype, as those flood with the huge grins makes a sound similar to the pillsbury dough boy and have a ‘happy’ session with the last man standing once they get him or her, lol.
Before I start looking at the photos some of the other photographers created, jsut a reminder we are halfway through the month. If you have any ideas for those monthly themes I am holding, try to create them into awesome screenshots and post them here. I do see that there are a couple of screenshots for the themes since I last looked.
Cizlin, I am grateful that you were able to explain in detail the glitch you utilized for ‘Dive’. I feel that this glitch can provide some amazing screenshots if properly executed. I dunno how you figured this out, but I am very happy you did. As for your Flood picture, I watched the video you sent me, and that is clearly lag. You somehow killed a Spartan through a wall and in doing so picked up the frag grenade. Very nice photo that came from that, I like alot .
Z6NITRO, I am also enjoying the glitches that I see that you caught. ‘Banshee Ghost’ reminds me on a Stingray, which is really cool. As for a Gravity Hammer due to a bug in Rocket Race, that would actually be fun to have. Very nice catches.
MrMartini85, I really like ‘Luck’ for the ‘Thank You BS Angel: Spartan 117’ theme. The created atmosphere feels as if John-117 is on a world where there is a lot of flood activity, and yet due to his luck is surviving rather well. Very nice and well done with your photo.
Now for the regular screenshots. MrMartini85, I really enjoyed your multiteam screenshot ‘Do You Want to Dance?’. Very funny photo indeed as well as a nice catch, and if I recall correctly, it was also featured. Very nice photo.
Z6NITRO, I like your photos involving the utilization of the Hardlight Shield on Monolith. I like how you managed to create a color change effect between two games with the Spartan in Hazop FRST with Infiltrator PYTN helm from a cool blue to a warm red color. You also managed to get a nice FX with the hologram in your photo ‘NWU Blue’, and I like the angling in ‘Banshee Breaker’. The angle captures the background very well. Very nice ideas and well done with your photos.
Gothic Lucy, great job with your Sticky Detonator photos, and I see you figured out how to do that bullethole glass FX that had us both stumped. Very nice photos, and I am glad to see you managed to figure that out, as I understand it now by looking at your photos. Very nice photos indeed, but just a heads up, you might need to fix your link for ‘Fireball’.
topsniper707, you did an amazing job wiht your ‘Sticky Detonator’ photo ‘Heart of Darkness’. This photo has a rather dark feel with a combination of the dark lighting on the Spartan’s armor via shading as well as the barren look you managed to achieve on Shatter. Great idea and well done with your photo.
oObeX, ‘Happy feet’ is a funny, yet awesome idea. This photo actually brings back memories of my childhood shoes when I had the choice. I had a choice of either lightup shoes, or Pumps. I chose the Pumps, but still very nice idea. Great job with your photo.
I will have to start a new post to share my photos, otherwise, I will run out of room.
Now, I do happen to have some new photos to share, and they cover different things, so there is a mix of stuff, between flood glitches to gameplay, to custom game photos.
As from what Cizlin shared screenshot wise, we have found out that Flood can be a glitchy gametype, especially on custom maps. I have a couple of photos that clearly show this, lol.
Orange Armor Pink Autosentry
Flood Assassination With Knife
I never thought that Flood would be able to use a knife for an assassination, and only during the given game of Last Stand was Cizlin’s Autosentry Pink when his armor is clearly Orange. All instances before and after this, his autosentry was orange, but this one time, it was pink, lol. Next are some screenshots from custom games.
The next set of photos come from both Rumble Pit and Team Slayer, Between Halo Waypoint friends and local friends of mine. These are the awesome, non-funny ones.
More Teamwork I
More Teamwork II
More Teamwork III
Cartwright5-Storm Rifle
What is He Doing?
More Teamwork IV
Concussion Confusion
More Teamwork V
Now for those with a sense of humor, enjoy :
Appears to be Stuck
Laugh Out Loud
Distracted
My last set of photos comes as I recently have unlocked Recon SURG armor and the Energy Emblem from Covenant Loadout Mastery. I honestly have to thank everybody who game me help and advice with this, so thank you to Cizlin, Cartwright5, PrepaidMountain, StrikingFate, and S452 for the advice and/or help with this as I wouldn’t have been able to do so otherwise due to lack of help and knowledge. Enjoy the photos that have come from this :
Recon SURG II
Recon SURG IV
Recon SURG V
With that, the only challenge left I have to do is the achievement ‘Bromaggedon’. Besides that, it’s casual play and screenshots from here. That is all I have to share for now. Have a great night everybody and keep the awesome screenshots coming .
I will make a shotgun themed screenshot today soon anyways.
@ Gothic Lucy - My favorite of your 3 was “Underworld”.
@Topsniper707 - Really like “Spark of Life”. Great screenshot!
@LizKing - Great Job on “Recon Surge II” Really liked how well all the colors worked together.
@LizKing - and for the “Thank You to bs angel: Spartan 117” I would like to include “Arrival”
Now to see if I can come up with something for the Shotgun theme.
Have a great weekend everyone!
How did I even get here?
So… I think I did something good. Had a blast with my friends on a Forge world, messing around with flying tanks, kill balls, and of course, the Shotgun screenshot theme.
After trying to perfect the nanosecond that the burst was fired, we came across this:
It’s gonna be tough to beat everyone else, though, if I want to end up the bulletin. I’m seeing some very nice shots tagged Shotgun. Good competition!
But don’t get too comfy yet. I’ve still got more on the way!

@ComicBeast1212 - Really nice screenshot!
I have 3 for the shotgun theme, all using ColorBlind and Juicy: The 1st two were using the Hologram, just before the effect is gone.
“Solitary” - Working a larger light beam than the one’s in Acid Rain.
Looking forward to seeing all the screenshots in the forum this week,
Good Luck to everyone submitting Shotgun theme screenshots!

Oooooo… “Blue Thunder” is my top pick! Nicely done! ^-^
I’m gonna try to have to remainder of mine up later tonight… it’s gonna be a close one, though!
Alright, here’s my other submissions!
Out with the Old
In a nutshell, the aftermath of ‘Broken Silence’. Though my first shot was in my opinion, the best of these, this one seemed cool since I liked the way the shell is caught by the sun. Plus, just capturing the shell is cool too.
Glistening Predator
What happens when a newb experiments with color filters, trees, and Active Camo. I just like the ominous feel of this one. And yes, that is a shotgun he’s holding. One of the downsides of working with camo is… well… invisibility for a screenshot?
This next one isn’t a shotgun submission, because it isn’t the main focus of the shot.
Red Sun Rises
I cool scenery shot I really enjoyed. Color filter: ‘Get back in the battlefield, you numbskull!’ It worked.
Hey guys, Mecha here. Back in business with the screenshots! I had a few issues with my xbox live membership which I have now sorted out! so here are three shotgun themed submissions.
Hope you like em and happy screenshotting!
Well, I couldn’t really figure out what to do for Shotgun–ironic, because I play Flood–so I just decided to take some more glitchtacular Screenshots instead. Will say, that’s my favorite theme. 
You Ate My COOKIES!!! This screenshot, as well as the next four, were all taken at different stages of the same glitch. For some reason, The second to last person to be infected was killed right as the game went into black screen. When it came out, he still had the abilities and look of the Flood, but he showed up on my radar as unfriendly. So, of course, I smacked his back. What resulted was pretty friggin’ hilarious.
Hope you guys enjoy! I will tell you this, it was a lot of fun to take screenshots of.
Seeing some really great screenshots in the Screenshot forum!
@ ComicBeast1212 - Looks like you are getting the hang of the controls! My favorite was “Out with the Old”
@ MechaSh0ckwave - Good to see you back. My favorite is “Soldier”.
@ Cizlin - Good screenshots all, really like the title “You Ate My Cookies”
I posted this question on the Halo 4 forum (hope this does not count as a double post…) but was not sure if any of the screenshot group was keeping up with the other forums….
“Guilty Spark Art” Does anyone know if this is a 343i artist graphic or does this engraved logo on top of Guilty Spark have some significance? I was wondering if it was a logo from the race that created Guilty Spark (in Halo lore).
Inquiring minds want to know!
From a screenshot perspective, I used the Gadgets FX lighting and a steep angle to get the two toned colors, it is normally all blue.
Thanks and have a great rest of the week.
