Halo Photography :: Evaluation and Help
Share your "Halo: Reach" shots here!
This is where you can share your Halo: Reach pictures. Ultimately, we are aiming for several things. We want to have a good flow of feedback (constructive criticism) on your shots and the shots of others. In addition, we want to help those who haven't snapped many shots yet to gain inspiration for any planned photo-shoots. And finally, we want to publicize your shots within the Halo community.



Instructions::
|[ Note I ]|
If you have conjured up any art within Halo that you would like to share- do it! We would love to analyze your pictures. Please, share your shots.

|[ Note II ]|
Don't just stop after you post your shots. Please be considerate and rate the pictures of other Halo gamers and photographers. Remember though, we want to remain positive and honest at the same time to help others increase their abilities in Halo theater.



Personal Favorites
Shall be updated as the thread progress and as shots are submitted. A pointer of mine would be to view these favorites and find out what seems to be good and pick up their artistic styles.

Shot II:: _____

Best Contributors ::
What is a big thread without rewards? We need a friendly spotlight, I think. I don't know if this compensates for your dedication to this thread... But if you're a great contributor, it should at least be noted.

China called..

Yeah I told them I couldn't have it back. So, you can either "walk the other way" or just read it. :)
^-- And contribute if you have any shots. :D

A Pale Chill

Wow man the effect on this is truly chilling. The description fits exceptionally well with the shot. I love the contrast between the darkness of the shot and the small areas of glint- such as on the magnum. It really provides the viewer with a range of emotion. Like a slight happiness amidst an even bigger depression of sorts. :)

I love how the grass is high on him as well. It makes it seem as though he is desperate, and that he's down to his last chance. I actually like the positioning as well. It seems a bit awkward how he's far to the left but then it really works out. Great job. :D

Nice feedback there. :)
I saw it as if he's all alone and there was a dry, chilly wind. The pale colors represent death, and I thought the darkness looked like it was surrounding him.

Utopian Demise

Glad to see you around. Haha. Alright, well, this seems to have a similar effect and feel as A Pale Chill by Cookiez. Again, I love that contrast between the dark and eerie and then the small areas of glint. It's quite nice. I love the background in this shot. The texture is very smooth and calm, almost like the calm before the storm. And in fact, there is lightning, which can symbolize the storm part of that. I like the colors that you used in the shot. They really bring out the mood. :)

Utopian Demise

Pretty funny how you posted that. :P

This shot is truly fantastic. The lighting on the spartan is just perfect. I get a story out of this one; like the whole utopia was being washed away leaving all that black space. The spartan seems as if he is deteriorating as well, facing the same 'Demise' as the utopia. Also the shadow on the visor along with the angle really gives a depressing mood.

I would like to give out feedback. But i'm not good giving out feedback. If we would take that is orally, I would give out better and good feedback.

It's fine man. I mean whatever works for you. I just think with such a great skill level of yours, that other artists in the community would appreciate to have your wisdom shed upon them. Haha. :)

Updating the Spartan when Reach came out.

The Golden Age of Screenshots died with Halo 3. All my great works are there, I haven't even bothered with Reach.

I regret not starting screenshots in that age.

Also, I will contribute

Annihilation.

I love the idea, and recognize the screenshot isn't perfect. I plan to completely remake it later, so I'd like some feedback on it, and perhaps I can corporate it into my remake. :)

@shadow I think that annihilation could be better with an ultra model, and It could use a slightly more brightly lit background to contrast more.
