I like tree too :)


Was that a response to me?


Yeah I would have put a quote responds but my laptop was acting funny but now it's better.


Huh? I thought it would have been for mine as, well, I'm the one with the picture called "Tree".

Maybe you're getting mixed up?

Halo 4 I get a woman. I've been guaranteed.

Uhhhh... here we go again, I entered 5 Recon challenges and lost all of them, so why bother entering this one? I'll enter this one, but I doubt i'll win. =(

You win some you lose some. Out of them all, this has to be the won where more people will win recon. Good luck

True!
And I'd also like to point out to some people; you may have some mind-blowing effects on your SS but I don't think that's what HSS want... I'm pretty sure they want the landscapes in their natural 'beauty' rather than smeared with effects ------> just like to point that out.

I know people that have entered/participated in nearly every single Recon/mythic map pack contest. Not one of them has won. But that hasn't broken their spirits. If anything, they're just more driven to compete.

I looked at the Landscape gallery and a lot of them have effects. So I figured I would implement that into mine, hoping that's what they would want.

A lot of them have *subtle* effects. Lighting and effects are intended to enhance the subject, not become the main idea behind the screen itself.

I know, but why do something that every screenshot has already done? Originality would be your best bet in this contest.

Subtle ones, I admit, are OK but I was just saying that in response to people's SS's that are blindingly bright and weird; I think it ruins the object of the landscape
but as before, subtle ones are OK

Yes originality is what there are looking for but if you look at their website, some of the landscape screen shots are almost the same.

Man there are so many cool ones. I wonder how they are going to find the 3 best.

Mine is the same one that I used in the HSSBOB contest: Guardian

  • 06.14.2009 1:10 PM PDT

Posted by: Clincher09
Alright I'm down to these 3, help plz.

Ark
Ice Castle
Outgrowth


I'd definitely go with Outgrowth, thats the first I've seen of that location. The other two are very overused.

Yes they are. But there also alot of duplicates and people who submitted more than one photo. Keep in mind that you aloud to only ONE screenshot. I don't know what will happen if you submitted two, but there is a way to get rid of tagged photos if you don't like your choice. If you have two photos with the tag "HSS Landscape", I think they won't use any of your screenshots. But to be safe, use one.
Some helpful tips that helped me with my decent screenshot:

-Try to keep SS effects/ special lighting at a minimum. They are looking for the landscape and it's beauty.

-If you take a picture, try and have the camera focus on just that. If you are taking a picture of the trees, and there's a little building in the corner, that will lower your chances.

-Try not to have flying objects, Spartans, or vehicles in your pictures. It takes away from the landscape.

-Don't worry if someone has the same picture concept as you. It comes down to, who angled it better and who captured the idea of whatever picture you are taking.

-If you do not like a photo, or have duplicates, you can also remove it by getting on Halo 3 and reloading it back up onto your fileshare.

-Take lots of photos of the subject you want to do. Make sure to hit a picture from a different angle each time you take it. Once your done, you can compare.

-When going through a level in theater, make sure to take your time. Things don't happen overnight. [Well, this will. 10hours left].

-If you don't feel satsified with your screenshot, go back and take it again.

-See how your picture compares to HSS standards
-See how your picture compares to the competition
-Tag count and rating boosting will not affect the outcome.

You really think they will disqualify you if you have multiple HSS Landscape tags?
I thought it was only if you had mulitple ones tagged and in your fileshare?

Well, I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I guess I have to untag all my files; can you even do that?

You can have as much tags on any of your photos as you want. But only ONE of your photos can have "HSS Landscape" tagged in it.
