that was an instant fave.if you are gonna do a v2 then maybe add a little debris in the mid ground,and maybe even try some rain drops.(might be too hard if you dont have PS)
oh and i wanted this for my desktop but its too small
perfect colours and a really good remake.

thanks. (i do have photoshop 7.0)
i also took this shot yesterday:

i might be able to get some debris from there, but i don't like the dead marines in it. i think i could get rid of them with enough cloning and burning though.

yeah the silencer definitely needs to be bigger. you should also try to put the suppressed M7 on his hip. the original doesn't show it, but i think it would be a nice touch. and the rain does need to be going the other way.

all in all, a fantastic piece of work. can't wait to see V2

i know, but i like the rain going the other way. i don't really like the rain itself yet though. it's a bit snowy.

there is some debris on ghost town by the tree thats inside that might work.
heres a cool tutorial for rain if you dont like it.

thanks. i used that kind off rain before in a very old ODST image.
i haven't tried it for this one yet though.

new work from the past 2 weeks:

a 'normal' timelapse:
Mancannon ninja
a 'normal' panorama:
Hornet down
My first HDR:
Catch this!
My 1st widescreen panorama: (not 1 straight line of screenshots, but multiple) (Thanks Silent for the program)
Stuntman
And my 1st timelapse panorama:
Boarding action

And thank Decadence night for some tips and inspiration for timelapse panoramas

haha stuntman is wowesome. I also really like the blur on "hornet down," way to go these are great. keep it up.

very nice. i'm glad to see you've gotten the hang of timelapses

"Hornet Down V3" is just sexy.

Thanks peepz
forgot to upload this one yesterday:
No chance

amazing shot. yea, he aint gonna make it. I like the placement of your sig. its subtle. almost didnt notice it.

looks like you are trying more effects/techniques to get what you want out of your pano's.
nice action in "hornet down" the effect really accents the pic.
really cool time laps shots,especially "boarding action"(watch out decadence)
i really like the effect on "catch this" how did you make your HDR?
epic explosion on"no chance" and nice detail on the tank.i didn't see your tag till saysmoo said it was there.
nice captures.

thanks
1/2) i duplicated the original panorama, and after the usual small contrast and lighting changed to make it look a bit better i put a 'diffuse' effect on it. (not sure how it's called. it'in effects > stylize > diffuse > #4)

3) i blurred the background

4) i used the darken tool and darkened everything around the edges leaves a small un-darkened spot between it.

5) some last fine-tuning i think.

update:
i wanted to make a timelapse screenshot with me in a bubble and a lot of dead bodies surrounding it. it just didn't work out the way i wanted it to and it's a lot worse than i expected it to be:

secondly i tried to make a timelapse panorama of me getting an overkill splatter with a ghost. it didn't work out at all, but i saw this old timelapse test panorama i used to try out some things. Thanks to Decadence and silent it did work using a new program called ICE silent told me about, and decandence work and tips that helped me get the hang of timelapse panoramas.

Flying hog

My next project would be a spartan standing on top of a pile of bodies. but i'm not sure i've got the time and skill for it.

i think it works well.bubbles and pano's are hard to do together,bubbles and time lapse must be even harder.
i tried cutting out a bubble before and it failed miserably.
that was a huge jump with the hog but what made it do that?

the pile of bodies is a good idea, but i wouldn't have the slightest idea how to do it.

maybe try to splice together parts of a standing spartan and the leg of a spartan getting on/off of a mongoose.

i could cut out o bunch of dead bodies and make a pile of it.
it would take a lot of time and i'm not sure it'll look very good though.

for the pile of bodies you can maybe get a bunch of elites and spartans to stand in a circle. then just walk around and assassinate them towards the middle. then you should have a pile of bodies. hopefully
