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!!!
Name: Godly Turrent Effect: I added the Gloomy and Juicy effects and shot a missile pod bullet at his back
Does this work with vehicles? BTW: good idea for a thread I know it will help me out in the picture taking area.
Green Fog: 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
Thanks Black Theorum.Its always good to get good feedback from a person who actually admires what your doing...nice picture by the way Lol.And to answer taco Kings question...vehicles are great to use while making a screenshot...dont drive them just blow em up lol.They make some cool effects. And heres a new one Blue TURRET I placed a wraith next to my guy and blue it up with a rocket launcher,also I had the Juicy effect on.
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)
Regal Trooper Effect:I put up a shield blocker on avalanch in the blue room(tele room).I added gloomy to it and turned my guy invis.I threw a multiple power drains behind the bloker which made the blue backround and use the Heavenly hog effect to make my guy see threw the shield.
RENEGADE JUKE Used Gloomy, Juicy, and Pen and Ink on Avalanche Made lightning buy placing shield doors
First of all i never stated that this is my screenshot and if it wasnt obvious enough its just for looks....plz dont waste your time and mine with pointless statements such as these just post a picture or some screen shot advise and thats it.i dont mean to start any trouble Im sure its just a misunderstanding.
Can you tell me why your Avatar is ripped? PS: He didn't say that pic was his.... and it's not from Wallpaperz w/e it's called, it was made by Bungie....
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.
Nice thread 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
