I try to aim around them the best i can. For small icons, paint is easy to use. Actually joniing spectator mode will get rid of all of the hud icons too.

Hehe, it was MUCH better till I screwed it up... I didn't realize it auto-zooms to fill the screen... so I kept reducing the size... down to 1 inch by 1 inch 0o" *bangs head on wall*
It was supposed to show the reminents of a battle not to long ago... there's 2 onos carcauses there too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Dont know nothing about Paint, your only hope is to aim somewhere else. And when you cut off portion of image cause of icons, use black mask (not white, it tends to be too obvious *cut*)
Photoshop: Nothing is easier. Use healing brush or other similar. Press Alt+click somewhere near the icon and follow the lines. Most visible problem here is motion tracking circles which are actually very little line spread on big oval. Even it looks big, a circle is still a circle and it is known to be empty inside. Clone stamp also works, but "healer" is much faster here. The bigger hud icons are much harder to remove, best way is to cut the camera shot to line them out. Though clone stamp helps here much and is easy to remove every hud icon from darker pictures.
Nice way to take good screenies is also <u>always</u>keep in mind to take those screenies. In every game even in middle of action keep in mind. I binded snapshot key to "T" so its easy to take fast shots when opportunity strikes ("T" is now my new upgrade: 500$ digi-camera). Also tapping makes much easier to capture firing in action and lucky poses. Its matter of luck to take those good pics, this is combat photographing and you cant shout that marine to "Raise your left elbow littlebit, you look fat that way." And remember kids, no lens flares. You can get so amazing pictures its hard to believe they are actually from this game.
Ill post pics later today. Hope I got some good action on 'film'.
it is rumoured first release of HL had shadows toggleable by r_shadows command or something like that(HL with absolutely no patches), but i cant know if thats true, havent bothered testing.

Well yeah, good for me to say "Keep always in mind to take pics" while myself took 40 pics in two days and only this one was hardly worthy to work with.

Here we see Squad 4 in action, in the core. Watch and be amazed at their teamwork as they clear the premisis of all xenoforms.
An aliens worst feeling... defeat..
Exactly. Otherwise, I think they're nice. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Could be a blast!

Jackpot of the day.
<img src='http://koti.mbnet.fi/meki/pic/Rawr.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
Rawr.
(these are actually totally different shots, that skulkie died instantly in first shot and I happened to wander in same place later on.
This is on co_angst, right near the ladder
The marine is covering for his buddies (off screen) as they descend the ladder
If you can see it, there IS indeed a skulk hiding there in the darkness, you can BARELY see it
I know, cause it came out the SPLIT second after I took the pic, and it got PLASTERED with lvl 1 shotty full in the face
This is part one: I shouldn't have turned before I took the pic... most of the stuff is off screen (an onos, a fade, and a gorge corpse)
The marine looks to be polishing his trusty shotgun, which just took out 2 high and 1 mid level kharrah
The same marine, same life, and same people (the gorge came after the onos)
Just now it's in Marine Start
This depicts a single marines Valient attempt to defend the base against the fade that blinked in, but while fighting he notices the onos behind the fade 0o"
