Sinister

Standing By

I feel there is something left to be desired in these two. I’m not sure what it is but eh.

And then for fun

Neverbloom

I really like this one on how crisp it is and the stance, but there is like this negative light (I guess that’s what you would call it) towards the bottom right of the picture.

Anyways, great work as always people. Keep it up. Saw some great shots in the browser and on this thread alike.

@stealth:
Oooo… great job on all of them! I’m torn between ‘Overheat’ and 'Natural Blindfold 'as to favorites… Blindfold! Wait, Overheat! ALL OF THEM! AAAAHGH!

@Martini:
I had a little -Yoink!- like that with my Shotgun theme pics. There would always be tiny little Forge icons in the background annoying me… but honestly, you did just fine, all leggless Spartans aside.
‘The Demon’ would have to be my top choice.

@Sniper:
You continue your reign of epic screenshot-ing. Keep it up. ‘Standing By’ is my fav, but I like how the description of ‘Sinister’ matches the pictures, because it almost looks as if the Wetworks helmet has a grin on it’s face.

Alright, my turn. Well, kinda… I need your guys’ opinions.
I have two really similar, yet unique in their own way shots, but I’m only planning on sending one out. They’re named the same, too… :\

So… which do like better? (These are no where close to your guys’ skill… I’m trying! :P)
Dis one (MK 1)
or dis one…? (MK 2)
Or, of course, none… I’m looking at these thinking ‘Wow… I really to work…’

Oh, and then there’s a Mantis shot.

The first one :wink:

> So I just realized that I cut off the Spartan’s foot in Super Rocket Fun Time Party (or whatever the hell it was called) that I posted above, which is annoying me endlessly. So I took a couple more in the same style.
> The Demon

Much better this time around I must say! I like “The Demon” a lot. The framing is very nice and I like the action that’s going on with the launching of the rocket. The fire looks really cool in it. Very nice! Again- this was a great improvement. Either of these could make it on the spotlight easily. :slight_smile:

Sorry about posting again so soon. I was just pretty unsatisfied with what I posted a bit earlier. I took my time here and this is what I got.

Fall Amy, Fly

The title doesn’t match up too well but I used the first thing I heard when I got stumped.

Thank you guys for your feedback on my previous entry, and now require your judgment on my latest entry, -Uncertainty-.
Tis in my fileshare as of now. :slight_smile:

I’m baaaaaaaaaack!

Man alive has it been a long while since I posted here! Apologies for falling off the radar folks, but I’m back and first of all, major congratulations to everyone featured recently and to those of you posting here! You keep making the Screenshot Community of Halo thrive with your submissions.

Looking over some recent stuff posted, I gotta say that the following stand out:

  • MrMartini85’s “The Demon” - The colours, the Spartan’s position and everything just blending into a sublime Screenshot worthy of the Master Chief. Great stuff MrMartini, you’ve come a long way. :slight_smile:

  • ComicBeast1212’s “Mantis Don’t Care” - A great screenshot thanks to the angle and placement of the Spartan as the Mantis looms over him. It’s not often raw in-game Screenshots on Ragnarok produce something that good so well done!

  • Stealth4ce’s screenshots - Well where do I begin with this guy? You continue to whack out some downright jaw-dropping creations every week and this is no exception! ¦ A Natural Blindfold wins overall for me though due to the Spartan’s pose and seeing that Orbital helmet combined with Shatter’s green mist.

Onto my own stuff, you can see I’ve still been relatively active with a handful of my pieces featured, but this time I’m delving into some of my older works for the Rocket theme, featuring:

  • Scanning Targets - It’s rare to see the Scanner helmet get some love, so I decided to put it on a month or two back for the Adrift theme. This one didn’t get much publicity but I like the pose and placement of my Spartan, with the fiery background in stark contrast as he’s looking for a fresh target.

  • Evac Order - This one was done in Perdition’s Control Room, with my Spartan standing on one of the consoles and switching weapons to get that lowered “at ease” pose. Using Juicy and Colorblind together really brings out the shadows and colours to help this one.

  • Rocket Goose - Juicy and Colorblind feature once again as me and a friend rocked around Vertigo with a Mongoose laden with rockets. I also did one similar to this later on called MB Outriders, minus the rocket-flare.

And that’s it from me for now. I may post up some last gasp Rocket Screenies tomorrow afternoon, but until then, keep of snapping folks!

<EDIT> I tell a lie folks as I made 2 more before bed here, running around on Wreckage with Juicy and Colorblind, using the light glare effects the map provides for these two contrasting Screenshots:

17 out.

> 17 out.

Thanks man! I really appreciate the kind words. :slight_smile:
And dude Shadowed Guardian is awesome. It has a neat ominous feeling to it but even in the face of the eerie surroundings, the “guardian” seems to be 100% confident. I love it. The colors blend very nicely, too. Awesome job! :smiley:
Nice job on your other shots also, but that one stuck out to me. It’s so cool.

I like it … it’s very monochromatic, which is not easy. The armor and rocket launcher are a neutral steel/gray, while the visor matches the atmosphere, which is quite nice.

I added the tag “rocket” for you. They said use “rocket”; you had “rocket launcher” … just pointing that out in case you take some more that way they won’t get overlooked.

So many Great screenshots this week in the forum!

@Stealth4ce Thank you for you very kind comments! :slight_smile: my favorite is “Overheat” I really like the tone this screenshot has, not sure my comments when you first posted, but this shot still leaves a lasting impression.

@Receptor17 - Good to see you back posting in the forum! My favorite is “Shadowed Guardian”. I like the setting, color choice’s and clarity. Nice shot!

@MrMartini - The “Demon” just Wow! Great shot. Very explosive figuratively and literally. And in case you did not know, it was 0iah screenshot of the day on Facebook/twitter/instagram :slight_smile:

@ComicBeast1212 - I liked MK1 the best. I felt having all the launcher in the shot worked better for this shot.

@ Topsniper -I liked “Standing By” i think using the darker lighting and your stance for the shot portrayed the feeling of waiting/resting until needed, and probably to soon.

Great shots all everyone, it is a pleasure to see the many shots posted this week in the forum!

Keep the goodness coming!

> I added the tag “rocket” for you. They said use “rocket”; you had “rocket launcher” … just pointing that out in case you take some more that way they won’t get overlooked.

Oh, so it is okay to do that…?

Good, since I tagged somebody’s picture just scrolling through and it looked like a great shot from the Rocket theme, thus I tagged it.
Then I freaked out since I was unsure if that would frowned upon.
(The picture is called ‘I’M YOUR ONLY HOPE’ or something like that…)

Anyway, thanks guys for the encouragement, and to everybody: Please, continue screenshot-ing. It’s a pleasure to go through and see what you guys can create with a video game. You continue to astound me each week, and keep it up. :slight_smile:


Now I just feel like I’m spamming this thread I post so much…
Oh well!

Shoutout and congrats to two of our fine photographers on achieving two-fers in this week’s Rocket theme! Nitro and Stealth! Great job, both of you! (^-^/)

This week theme is… ooooooo, weapon skins! Oh, I should have with this one!
Especially since, through various experimentation in the Rocket theme, I think I’ve gotten the hang of Halo photography…

I said I ‘think’.
But at least my confidence is renewed.

Practice makes perfect, indeed. The angling of the shots is crucial in order yield satisfying results…

But since we have a new topic, I think it is time to get snazzy! :smiley:
I have already begun to spiffy up with my latest shots -Agitation- and -Velocity-, in which I have tested a couple hidden skins, so hopefully my job did them justice.

Also nice job on your guys’ Rocket work, and good luck on your skins! :wink:

Well done to all with contributions in the Rocket theme spotlight! So many great shots.
Congrats to everyone with screenshots in this weeks bulletin :slight_smile:

@ComicBeast - Thanks for the shout out, FlashWave was timing and initiating movement’s blind and then hoping for a shot. Many attempts were made.

Imminent Threat was a lot of fun trying to get 3 people on 3 xbox’s all on at the the same time with some idea of what we were trying to accomplish. Several Spartans were splattered in the making of that shot :wink:

@Spark918 - my favorite of your two is Velocity. Interesting choice’s in visor colors and I really like your backgrounds and amor color schemes.

My newest “Taking a Moment

Looking forward to seeing all of the “Snazzy Skins” this week in the forum!

Hope everyone has a great Independence Day (USA) and weekend :slight_smile:

HEADS UP screenshotters from Lizking10152011 :

> Good morning everybody.
>
> Congratulations to everybody who had their ‘Rocket Launcher’ themed screenshot featured. Now the new theme is ‘Snazzy Skins’, but from using the File Browser on Halo Waypoint, it apparently has a filter and will not save ‘Snazzy Skins’ to photos.
>
> The second you close the photo after tagging it with this on Halo Waypoint, the Waypoint Filter removes the tag, so the only way you can tag photos with ‘Snazzy Skins’ and have the tag stay/stick is to do so on Halo 4 right on the Xbox 360. I figured that I would bring this to everybodys attention incase they want to tag older photos that would fit the theme.
>
> Have a good day now and keep the awesome screenshots coming :slight_smile: .

Thank you Lizking!

Congrats everybody!

I’m trying something new for the Snazzy Skins deal with the first two here:

Watch It Burn

Landfall

These two I tried to match the secondary armor color and the DMR skin but I don’t think it quite worked (I blame juicy)

DMR

Pink & Steel

That’s what have so far.

Good evening everybody.

Sorry for my absence over the last couple of weeks. I’ve been working on my hands-on art projects and have finally sold my first hands-on project on my Etsy account :slight_smile: . Between my job and hands-on art, I’ve had almost no free time, but I do happen to have time to spare tonight.

I am glad that Z6NITRO has left my memo from discussing the bulletin here for everybody to read, so thank you for doing so Z6NITRO, that bit of information is helpful.

So many new screenshots to compliment, I have to say that I am amazed by what I see, so keep up the awesome work everybody and keep the awesome screenshots coming. I am curious to see what will come of this week’s theme photo-wise :slight_smile: .

I am not done yet as I do happen to have some new screenshots to share with everybody, starting off with some from weeks ago. Cizlin, some of his friends and I had some fun on a matchmaking capture the flag game on Shatter. There were some interesting screenshots that came from that :slight_smile: .

Oh Boy
Mastery and Vision
Smack Em With Both
Dialogue
Charge!

Later on that night, we did some custom games and although there were a lot of laughs, I did find one interesting photo. Good ol Cizlin breaking things again, lol, this time riding a mongoose on one wheel, lol.

One Wheeling

As for my contributions to the ‘Snazzy Skins’ Screenshot theme:

Lightrifle Red
Conflicting Colors
Supressor Red

These three photos were created on Perdition and utilized similar methods that I used in Digitized a while ago. I was jamming shield doors, lights and other items in place while using the Juicy and Next Gen FXs, but instead of using a Gravity Hammer, I used a Soft Kill Zone in these red variants. The weapons used were the Lightrifle IMP and Supressor FRC. For the lightrifle photos, I used blue colors on my Spartan-IV to get the effects I did as well.

I also feel this photo, although old, is a good contribution to the ‘Snazzy Skins’ theme as well. The weapon skin even matches the armor :slight_smile: .

Recon SURG II

That is everything I have for now, so have a great night everybody. I hope you all enjoy the new photos and keep the awesome screenshots coming :slight_smile: .

Here is the first wave of ‘snazzy’ shots from me. They focus on the BR Arctic skin, and I threw in the colorbind filter for effect. I know it isn’t the best choice to throw in a black and white filter when you’re trying to show off the skin of a weapon, but it seemed fitting. :stuck_out_tongue: Gulp Here they are…

Colorless Spark

Night Shift

I’m proud of the angle on them… that’s just me…
Well, I know it isn’t much, but I plan to have more coming this weekend.
Forgot to tag them while I was at the Xbox, and I’m pressed for time now. :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, I’m amazed at the selection of shots so far, and keep 'em coming!

What’s up everybody? Happy Fourth of July! I’m feeling very free right now. :slight_smile:
I am pretty impressed with what you all have been whipping up. Now… I’m not too stoked with my own works here. Granted… I’m relying on my old shots to carry me through this theme because I don’t really use different skins that often, so… Yeah. Anyway here are a couple for the theme + some.

Old “Snazzy Skins” Submissions:
| FOG OF WAR
| ALTITUDE
| AMBIVALENCE

Newer Shots:
| APOLLO
^This one was a real spur-of-the-moment shot from forge but it made me think of Apollo Creed 01, a legend of screenshots on Reach and Halo 4. So… I made a little tribute for him. :smiley:

| BATH SALTS
^Hehe… I really don’t even know where the title came from… It just happened. Which, even though it’s a goofy name- I liked the shot. It seems really chilly and somewhat eerie because you just see a dead or at least unconscious dude next to some unidentifiable substance. :stuck_out_tongue:
