In Response To: Thanks, everybody! (radiant penguin) : I get the same feeling myself with some of the typical scenic panoramas. : There are only so many vistas in the game to take pictures of and they get : well covered rather quickly. I try to keep mine interesting with unique : subject matter that you don't see in panos very often. There are few : enough of us making these types of panoramas (at least that I know of and : have seen) that we rarely go over the same ground as each other, and even : when we do there is usually a unique touch to it that makes it stand : apart. : Thanks! I really appreciate the critique. Composition is the most important : thing i look for when setting up a shot and the first thing that turns me : off of a lot of peoples' work, panoramas and screenshots alike. As for the : post-production, I try not to do a lot of major alteration. I have started : using blur and depth-of-field more often to bring out the subject, but : nothing to overdo it like you mentioned. The next thing after composition : that makes me look away is over-saturation. It has its uses but it's a : fine line. Unfortunately, many people don't see that line at all. There is : such a thing, I'm afraid to say, as too much color. Yep, these are all things that came to my mind. The saturation of boring Halo content out there has squelched my motivation to do anything Halo related myself. I'd have normally passed over a thread titled "panoramas." But work like this is actually very well done and I was pretty impressed by it; a sort of diamond in the rough. It's rare, but refreshing. You've certainly got an artistic eye.
