yeah, the form is good, but it doesn't really "pop" like my other ones.

and I've suddenly realized why I don't get better at Halo 3. I play a decent 12 minute match, then spend an hour and a half making panoramas

i like the full tilt type pano's(i dont know what they are called)it give a very different perspective.
how did you get so many sparks on "bloody tuesday" cool.
i love the view on "hangtime"you can still see the arch of flight from above.
very unique.
i sometimes do the opposite,2-3 hours of team based gameplay with cool explosions epic kills then forget to take any pictures the next day.

full blast of a shotgun with no shields. that's my best guess.

Holy shit on a shit-sandwich, I just had one of the best games of my life. We lost by 3 points, but I was kicking ass and taking names.

Carnage Report

Naturally, I took some panos of the action. I decided to go with a theme for this update. I call it, "Actions Speak Louder Than Recon." Basically, having recon doesn't make you a badass, it just makes it look worse when you get your ass kicked.

For instance:

Recon is not laser proof
Recon is not shotgun proof
Recon is not plasma proof
and Recon is not hijack proof

and I made 2 others just for good measure.
Disintegrated
Only Two

Here's some footage of 3 of the panos:





and 1 that I couldn't get a good angle on

I always find that Avalanche leads to bland colors. But you managed to figure out a way around it!

Nice ones man!

lol,that was a good game for you but not the recon dude.top killer on your team too.
i like the hornet vid,i didn't think it was working at first.
i really like "not hijack proof" it seems like he doesn't even know your there.
the explosion on "Disintegrated" looks really cool too.

yeah,the colours are wowesome on these.

there were at least 3 different guys with recon. they all sucked, except for their kills leader. that's why I'm not going to use the recon helmet when i get it. I don't want to be mistaken for these guys. I'm just going to use the chest piece. my EVA is wearing out.

oh, and he knew i was there. he tried to splatter me, but i did what you should do when someone tries to splatter you. i backed up as far as a could towards the wall, jumped, he hit the wall, and i got him.

and about the bland colors on Avalanche, I've never found that at all. I've always loved the subtle, icy blue tones. And with just a little adjustment on the color curves, you can get a "Snowblinded" look in the background, or a beautiful evening look. I've always been fascinated with lighting. How a simple adjustment can change the feeling of a piece altogether.

a lot of people wear recon now. i still wear full recon because i just like it best. recon with MARK V or rough helmet also looks great though.

those of you watching my dA should have noticed that I posted a ton of firefight panoramas tonight. check em out and tell me what you think.

i wonder if the hunter took any damage from his buddy?
"Watch Your Head" is wowesome,reminds me of 29004u's banshee one.
"The Bigger They Are" is a head flipper,the jackel was just in the way lol.cool shot.
i like the "Through the Fire" for the sniper shot,follow the shot.
nice shots.

on cooliris i can see more that i dont notice on DA,on "mowed down" you have the elevator and a phantom that i didn't really notice before.your pics are so big that you have to scroll.lol.
i really like arching lasers for some reason,gives it something different.
i love the grunts in the background just looking to see if you survive.
thats a cool pano.
i didn't notice the curve on the hog either,or is it just fat.lol.i like the motion on the wheels too.
the grunts didn't stand a chance on killionare.
mowed down should have been one of your wowesome timelapse shots and filled the background with grunts.
cool captures.

unfortunately, it's very difficult to do time lapse shots in ODST, because you can't rewind. I like to go through the action 4 or 5 times so I can get an idea of where to take the shots. If I wanted to do a time lapse in firefight, I'd have to shoot from the hip and do it without any real planning, or run through 40 minutes of footage over and over. It's doable, but not practically.

thanks though. I always love hearing your feedback

You have some really nice angles.

2 new ones. I'm particularly proud of the 2nd one.

Blow the Bridge

Let 'em Burn

i really like these. fire in the dark looks nice
ah, i love the smell of burning jackalls in the morning...

3 more already. bored and can't sleep.

Eat This
Here Goes Nothing
Mmm... Crispy

nice contrast on "let em burn"i have yet to get that achievement.
i like the curve on "eat this" and the buildings in the background.
nice VISR shots too,are you the first or did 2good do one?
"blow the bridge" is epic and probably the biggest panoramic explosion.

i'm pretty sure 2good did some. they're really easy though. just pick a dark level and they'll turn out beautifully

i did one without the edges

got another one.

Friendly Fire 2

Hunter hit him square in the back. Took his ass out.
