In honor of Bungies screenshot contest, I made two panoramic screenshots centered around scarab tanks.

Guardians
Scenic

I hope you guys like them.

And tell me if you want more.

second one is awesome

  • 03.14.2009 7:25 PM PDT

How come?

I prefer the first one.

  • 03.14.2009 7:45 PM PDT

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I agree I like the second one best, it shows what its name implies (not that the former doesn't).
I like seeing the scope of the Ark there but it isn't present in the first.

Proud director of Black Plasma Studios. Check us out on Youtube!

Both were pretty good. The only thing that could have been improved on the first one was to let the Hornet be more in the open sky space, rather than infront of the tower. It would have helped fill up dead space in the picture.

To be honest, I had no intention of having a hornet in the picture. Apparently some marine decided to be flying there. =P

they're really cool. i went for the more 'zoomed in' approach, my favourite one of mine is the one named Stand-off - check it out.

yours are awesome though, well done

Haha, I don't think you see what I did, those images in the OP are panoramas. They are composed of several images merged together.

Make sense?

  • 03.15.2009 1:25 PM PDT

ah, that explains it. man, im so stupid haha

nice job though lol

  • 03.15.2009 1:29 PM PDT

No problem. Don't worry, a surprising amount of people don't know what a panorama is. =P

What contest?

pan·o·ram·a
n.
An unbroken view of an entire surrounding area.

That doesn't necessarily mean 360 degrees. A panorama can be what I posted.

entire surrounding area all area 360 degrees is all of the entire surounding area so no your picture does not fit in the panoramic department or else every picture in the world could be concidered a panoramic....

You do have a very good point there, however, the term "panorama" has come to mean, at least here (and to my understanding) a larger picture, rather than the entire view. I may be wrong, but that is how I remember it.

Yup, I have the right idea, as you can see from this Haloramics website.

By the way TW your work looks real good, its rare to find a good scenic Halotographer. I digg that scarab shot "The Guardians," perfect name for it.

I like the second one. The background is cooler.

I like 'em both. Nice job man.

  • 03.15.2009 11:04 PM PDT

Thank you guys. I will see if I could make more. But I don't know any other good places with scarabs.

And just to make hellomotto happy, I will make it a 'true' panorama.

I think he means the scarab screenshot contest to get a mythic map pack code.
