Subject: [BLOG] A celebration/tribute to Bungie aestethics (Theater-Mode)

Hi everyone,
my name is Emanuele, aka Emalord.
I started a blog about videogame photography few months ago, and I must say that Halo: Reach is at present my crown jewel.
This, because it allows me to portray the game under many POVs thanks to its fantastic photo-mode.
It gives me the freedom to portray landscapes (see "Postcards from Reach", enemies (see "Covenant Files") or simply the story mode as it goes on (see "Chronicles from Reach").

I tried to be as original as possible, and it seems my visitors really appreciate my approach.

I hope this thread won't be considered as SPAM (I checked the FAQ's, I don't think it should be), but if it's needed, I say that my blog is a non-profit project, for the diffusion of videogame culture as far as I can go.

If you want to, just take a look at my Portfolio's of Halo Reach (Almost done!) and Halo 3 (just begun):

Nice pics. No doubt Theater Mode is something every game should have! It would be nice to have a category for Macro photos to get a little "up close & personal" with the finer details of Reach. Keep it up.

Thanks Awal, I'll do it. And the E3 announcement of a new Halo trilogy really excited the paparazzo in me.

If someone from Bungie will read this, I hope in the next incarnations of the wonderful and deep Halo theater-mode we will see also:

Custom Field of View
Custom Depth of Field
Tilt

There are some other options I'd like to see, but these 3 would be a great start :)

Bungie, your skies are great, your games are not only about guns and booms, there's also some welcome if underrated poetry in them, I'm sure you are going to get better and better with your main Saga.

I'm 40 years old guys, but I hope I will portray all of your games before my retirement :D

Thanks for your feedback guys!

EBS is only 8 months old. It's still a child, in constant evolution. The present Wordpress THEME was introduced in Februar, and it's classy and easy to navigate.

Concerning the NAVigation BAR I'm going to introduce some changes as the HALO: REACH saga will be fully portraied.
I will introduce the OPERA OMNIA section, where I can list all the games like this, fully portraied under any possible aspect.

THE PACKAGE chapter will be online in few days, I'm quite proud of it. Some good wallpaper stuff in the Chronicles, some great suff under the Covenant files Tag, some very nice postcards from Sword Base ONI, ravaged by the covenants.

Thanks for your time and comments
