Halotography: An artistic look at Halo 3

by Xav de Matos on Apr 27th 2008 6:00PM

One of our loyal X3F tipsters shot us a link to an amazing, beautifully artistic, Halo 3 screenshot gallery from Flickr user Joshuadamon. The Halotography set is JD's perspective on the Halo universe using the popular screenshot feature provided in the best-selling Xbox 360 exclusive.

Some shots, like the one above titled Chicken!, showcase perfect moments in the game, while others are so stunning you'd forget you were looking at in game screens.

Thumbs up to Joshua Damon for his beautiful work and to everyone else who gets creative with their copy of Halo 3!

[Thanks, Conner]

I particularly like this one:

Thanks for the link. Neat.

Oh, and I forgot what to say what I meant to say:

Halo is quite the good-looking game. Under appreciated graphics, I think.

Incredibly underrated, with all the shit going on it is amazing what they did at such a large scale with such great AI to go along all at once.

Games like COD4 get all the credit because it is more "realistic" as far is what people are used to seeing everyday, but in my opinion those kind of games just don't have the great physics and great vibrant displays that halo has always had to offer.

Woohoo you posted it! Yeah I like these pictures :P

He often just uses blur and other affects to make his picture look, but they're good overall.

Everytime I take screenshots I take a artistic approach to it.

These shots are fantastic! Funny you should post this, because I just finished working on a movie poster for one of my design classes, using screenshots from Halo 3:

thats hilarious

Halo 3 is the most beautiful game, isnt it?

....no

umm why is it that when a developer (take guerilla and killzone 2 for example) touches up screens of gameplay everyone bashes them, but then some random kid takes in game screenshots with "artistic" angles/views and blurs the heck out of them and makes them look way better then what you see ingame, its "the most beautiful game"...

I don't know how this post turned into a console war thing but I think we can agree there is a big difference between a developer releasing official screens of a game and a fan trying to be creative.

Hey, way to get all defensive.

Yes it is, Ray is an idiot.

oh yea, im such an idiot

how is a crappy halo 2 upgrade the "most beautiful game"?

Crappy Halo 2 upgrade. *points to Lockout vs Blackout*

Oh, right; You're insane. Got it.

omg an updated map how cool, i was mainly talking about gameplay and graphics

I think everyone can agree, Ray is definitely an idiot. lol

I think everyone can agree that you're an idiot for making a double post.

Ray, I was referring to the graphics. Pay attention.

What's "Halo 3"? Is that some kind of code word for "Grand Theft Auto IV"?

Reminds me of these absolutley beautiful Teamfortress 2 wallpapers made by a person called Flamingmenace on DeviantArt

Heres a link:

I love the vignette effect. Added with the blur and they come out very nice.

Shame they're not wallpaper sized!

That's the worst part that definitely needs to be remedied.

Ahhh! Depth of field overload!!!!

PS. Ray is not an idiot.

You did read his Halo 2.5 comment, right?

You probably did. How sad.

Not that I have anywhere near the artistic/creative eye that this guy has, but I also like taking halo screenshots...
