    Wats up everyone,this is BLUE MAG1C 91. I just put a thread up about a month ago where people would post a picture and explain how the effect was made.Well now I decided to bring that here to the screenshot guides( I thought it was more fitting here instead of the discussions). Well basically just post an Epic screenshot,name your effect,and explain how it was created.I know that some pictures dont include crazy exotic effects and thats just fine.This post is here to help amature photographers as well as experts.i figure that this could become a guide itself,a whole new place where picture takers could come and learn about halo photography.This post is mainly for effect guides but feel free to post any advise and freindly critisism here as well.i hope to see this place grow into a large community,with plenty of effects that can go to good use throughout the halo family.I hope this post will help and hope to see pics up soon!!!

    It was on Avalance, the Ice Rock Room (the teleroom that's blue). First I put on Gloomy, then threw a firebomb grenade at the wall behind me, and a spike nade in front of me when the fire died out, to add the lighting, and to give a black background to set the Spartan against. Also the spikes can make those cool light circles around his head.


    Urban, I can see, and am happy about, your interest in screenshots. You may not know it, but you (and others like Leeumm, Cro0kEd, Paper, etc) helped revive a dying section on Forgehub. I really appreciate how you've breathed new life for photographers who wouldn't post on here. Thanks, man.

    ...just stop using "epic" so much! it's startin to get annoying... lol

    And it's spelled "TURRET." Lol.

    Onto the effect. This is a new one that's gotten some positive response, so I'll share how it was done.

    Start up Orbital, put on Juicy, Gloomy and Pen & Ink. Now, at the Rocket spawn, there's a large shaft (lol) that you can fall down. There's a Red Ledge about halfway down the shaft. Stand on that and throw a Spike Grenade behind yourself, and wait for the last few frames of the explosion. It's kind of weird, because when you take the pic, it turns out brighter than you normally see. On my t.v., the visor was almost totally black with a little bit of red. Turned out better than I expected. =P

    OMG you people i just posted a thread below here for the same purpose, sorry to sound like an ass but W/E, heres a pic from my Effect and pic idea guide

    Gravity vortex/fuel rod effect: Produces a variety of looks, including green mist, a strange white grainy effect on the spartan's/Elite's armor, or a bright green and blue light.

    Steps: 1. Pick up a gravity hammer. 2. Select your pose. 3. Have a partner shoot you with a fuel rod shot, and at the same time, use your hammer when the fuel rod explodes. 4. go to theatre and take your pic.

    example pic: (notice strange white grainy effect on the spartans armor)[​IMG]

    You need to embed the image by using the IMG Code on photobucket instead of the link

    Hey, heres a pic I took with the effect that Leumm advertised. It turned out great, but I didn't wait 'til the end of the explosion. Instead of waiting till the end, I just took it in the middle. (FX: The ones that Leumm used. Juicy, Old Timey, and Pen and Ink I think.[​IMG]

    Nice thread :)

    [​IMG]

    No effects are required!

    Shoot a Scorpion tank and fly into the shot. Go to the edge of the blast and the screen should turn into a light RGB pattern. Take the picture and it should look similar to this!

    Note: I took this in Matchmaking, so this isn't staged.

    i cant remember exactly how i did this one. i think i loaded up sand box, put on the FX nova and juicy, went to the sky bubble with a flame thrower and fired it. i quite like it especially with the sun peering at the side
