Outside of the Colosseum in Rome


Inside the Colosseum

Palantine Hill, which is right next to the Colosseum

St. Peter's Basilica/The Vatican from the top of St. Angelica's Castle

looking south from the top of St. Angelica's Castle in Rome

What remains of the Circus Maximus in Rome with some ruins in the background

This next one I screwed up with my camera and left it in auto mode, so the brightness was a bit different in each picture, so when it was stitched together you can see the individual pictures that make up this panorama. Nevertheless, it was still an cool view from there:

Cinque Terre, Italy. North of Rome along the seashore


This next one was taken roughly 1500 feet above the last one. My friends and I hiked up to this peak so we could see the sunset from up here. Unfortunately some clouds came and blocked the sunset, and of our 3 days here, this was the only one that wasn't raining. Still looks cool though:

Outside the Colosseum

Rome Castle

Inside the Colosseum

Well, I took a trip to Berlin and made a bunch of panoramas for some more eye candy. I think that some of them had such a high resolution that image shack resized them to be smaller. Without further ado, here is Berlin:


Top of Reichtag

Inside the Reichtag

Inside the Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathederal)

Berliner Dom's Pipe Organ

On Top of the Berliner Dom

Elbe River (I think)

Former Berlin Wall Guard Tower

These next two pictures are of the same thing but differently cropped and edited. Disregarding the colors, etc. of the picture, I was wondering if the first one, which has on the right side a bit of the building that I was on visible, or if editing out the building that I am on is preferable.

Fernsehturm (without protruding building on the right side)

Assembler

Destination Moved!

This next one needs a lead up screenshot:

Triple Kill!

Acheivement Unlocked

Unfortunately I did this on a 1 month account that I have, and I haven't gotten the achievement yet on my main account.

Bail FTW!

Bail FTW! v2 (cleaned it up a bit and added some blurring effects)

German Background



More to come, eventually

these are some of the best action shots i have seen in a while.
assembler has amazing colours.

Thanks, I was trying to bring out the purple on Assembly in that shot

Bail FTW!

cool shots here, though very purple =P

liking bail ftw, nice to see someone else trying time lapse =]

Yeah, took me a while to do time lapse. How I did it was take the pictures, then cut out everything except for the changing movements, on all but one layer, then I merged all the layers. Is there a simpler way of doing this?

I was going to try to make it a panorama, but nothing seemed to line up right and I thought it would look better time lapsed.

bail has a lot of cool action going on.
the explosions looks more powerful in the edited version.
1 guy has disappeared.

Oh yeah, good catch. Actually it was the same guy but in different positions in the first one.

depends on your shot, most of the time it is easier to paste bits on, but sometimes if you leave enough space between taking shots you can stitch it together. You may need to repair it a bit though

2 more:

Flaming Logo

Through Fire and Flames

You have some great work here, I love the thought behind these new shots, very creative and original. I think we should take your creativity into consideration for a banner of our site.

through fire and flames....spooky! I LOVE IT! very well set and great effect with the fire.

Well thanks guys. I guess the thought behind them was, "Hey, I want to do something with fire." So I went into construct and started playing around with the flamethrower for a while, then I went through and got these two shots out. But then I thought it would be cool to throw on the Halo 3 logo for the one, and having emerging spartans on the other one.

Anyway, for this banner, would it be a wide angled one that would take up almost the entire width of this page?

yeah,that would be a cool banner(with haloramics on it(AMX would have to pass this)
maybe a contest once in a while,when AMX wants a new banner.

I'll make this a new separate contest.

oooh firey =]

yay new contest XD

Turret Problem and Solution

ha,cool stick.
a nice way to get more action in.

cool =]

i was thinking about doing something like this for an overkill exterm i got but i didn't =]

The Right Angle

YAY! for easy kills XD

top work =]

im liking the slight angle,it gives it a different feel.
probably 1 of the best orbital pans i've seen.

Well thanks. That was me wanting the pano to fit so bad, so I decided to change the angle. I played with off angle shots like that a bit more and came up with this sreenshot-sized image:

From the Rocket's Perspective

ooh that's quite cool to =]

These are awesome.

MAy I recommend you use the cooliris 3D wall?
