Still a work in progress, but the idea is there. I based the preset on the Dead Space 1 preset, and doing some slight tweaks as I go, adjusting stuff to better suit the lighting in Dead Space 2. Overall looking good I think.
A recent Hubble Space Telescope view reveals Uranus surrounded by its
four major rings and by 10 of its 17 known satellites. This false-color
image was generated by Erich Karkoschka using data taken on August 8,
1998, with Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer.
Hubble recently found about 20 clouds - nearly as many clouds on Uranus
as the previous total in the history of modern observations. The
orange-colored clouds near the prominent bright band circle the planet
at more than 300 mph (500 km/h), according to team member Heidi Hammel
(MIT). One of the clouds on the right-hand side is brighter than any
other cloud ever seen on Uranus.
The colors in the image indicate altitude. Team member Mark Marley (New
Mexico State University) reports that green and blue regions show where
the atmosphere is clear and sunlight can penetrate deep into Uranus.
In yellow and grey regions the sunlight reflects from a higher haze or
cloud layer. Orange and red colors indicate very high clouds, such as
cirrus clouds on Earth.
The Hubble image is one of the first images revealing the precession of
the brightest ring with respect to a previous image [LINK to PRC97-36a].
Precession makes the fainter part of the ring (currently on the upper
right-hand side) slide around Uranus once every nine months. The
fading is caused by ring particles crowding and hiding each other on
one side of their eight-hour orbit around Uranus.
The blue, green and red components of this false-color image correspond
to exposures taken at near-infrared wavelengths of 0.9, 1.1, and 1.7
micrometers. Thus, regions on Uranus appearing blue, for example,
reflect more sunlight at 0.9 micrometer than at the longer wavelengths.
Apparent colors on Uranus are caused by absorption of methane gas in
its atmosphere, an effect comparable to absorption in our atmosphere
which can make distant clouds appear red.

Strobist info:
(2) 1/4 bare bulb flashes about 6' up about 6' from subject on each side , triggered w/ pocket wizards. A 4' reflector was placed between the two flashes for a little bounce/fill.
Photoshop info:
Blurs were photographed near same location using various degrees of focus and hand held long exposures. Later the multiple images/layers were added in Photoshop using the screen blending mode with masks to have some behind of blurs hidden behind the model and some in front.
Misc Info:
Also he is doing a back flip off a wall in an alley, the camera was below him and he was upside down during the photo, which was later rotated.
This is a model I made a while ago. It is a Solitude class space carrier, with a BFG mounted next to the bridge. First model I've mad incorporating SNOT techniques.

Commercial and heavy goods vehicles can often be seen in Japan embellished with polished chrome, blacked out side windows, and crazy lighting. I’ve seen Shinto gods and lighting bolts fastened to the gleaming metal panels of some of them. The idea seems to be to make these ten ton hell raisers as garish and scary as possible, but ultimately it just makes them look silly. However, this vehicle struck me as a one off. It’s a Wa-fi van, taking the concept of Japanese spirit into outer space. I believe the official name for this phenomenon is Dekko Toraku or Deco Truck in English. The fact that there is a name for it implies that there may be a deeper (though probably not much deeper) meaning to this nerdy hobby than just showing off. Notice the warp drive jet engines on the roof, and Tenyo mythical goddess skillfully airbrushed to the side. Truck drivers of the universe unite!

I'm finding that photography is helping me deal with my dad's death. And something my neighbor said also helped "You can't lose something when you know where it is". My dad might not be here for christmas but he's in my heart.
Crewmembers of NASA's 41-D mission take a group shot displaying their fun moments in space aboard the orbiter Discovery. Crewmembers are (counter-clockwise from center) crew commander Henry W. Harsfield Jr., pilot Michael L. Coats, mission specialist Steven A. Hawley, mission specialist Judith A. Resnik, payload specialist Charles D. Walker, and mission specialist Richard M. Mullane. Dr. Judith Resnik is shown enjoying the weightlessness of space during her first mission. Born on April 5, 1949 in Akron, Ohio, she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1970, and a Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from University of Maryland in 1977. Dr. Resnik joined NASA in 1978 as a senior systems engineer in product development with Xerox Corporation at El Segundo, California. NASA later selected her as an astronaut candidate in January 1978; she completed a 1-year training and evaluation period in August 1979. Dr. Resnik died on January 28, 1986 on her second mission, during the failed launch of Challenger STS-51 L.

Search my electric soul for the hidden man within” - Miracle of Sound
I have a problem, and I think anyone that's played through Deus Ex: Human Revolution can understand. I just can't get enough of that sweet, sweet black and gold. This board is a bit of a mash-up of both cyberpunk and retro tech and I couldn't love it any more.
The Space65: Cybervoyager; what can I say? I had seen the original Space65 doing the rounds, and found it wasn't doing too much for me, but I saw the Cybervoyager drop earlier this year, I knew what I was treating my self for my birthday. I didn't quite know what I wanted to do with the board theme wise, so I went black for the case colour, and got a couple of varieties for the badge and accent colours; the gold was a shoe in, and the grey and e-white were just come options to go with whatever I needed them to. I'm not much of a fan of RGB, but the shine-through on the badge, and the diffuser really add a nice bit of spice to the board, this is about as tasteful as I could ever want RGB to be.
These switches were a long time coming. I had come to love the Gateron Black Inks from a previous build, and with the silencing options offered with the Cybervoyager, I really wanted to make the quietest board that I could; enter the Gateron Silent Black Inks. To further build on the quiet nature of the switches, I added some lube, and switch films to shore up the tightness of the switches, and sound profile. I opted for the stock springs in these as I already have a number of boards with heavy (80g-180g) springs so going for the slightly lighter 70g weight is already quite a novelty. I really dig how light they feel, as you glide across the board, even the bottom-out is pretty subdued (as it should be), and sounds almost like a pitter-patter of rain on an insulated tin roof.
As for the plate, I really love the look of the carbon fibre plate, and with it being one of the firmer options in the market for plate materials, it really helps keep the smooth linear action of the switches consistent, and sharp; that and the carbon fibre pattern looks super slick The smokey coloured Durock stabs are an absolute treat also. Not only do the housings match the look of the Black Inks, but the gold stab wire adds a nice bit of colour to the inside of the case. Nothing new as far as lubing them went, but I was curious to try out the 'Band-aid' mods. Basically, there's a small pad of fabric (more often or not a plaster, hence the name) placed under the stabiliser, helping to cushion the sound and feel ever so slightly. I hadn't been keen to try it prior because I really like the feel and sound of the plastic on PCB, but I am pleasantly surprised by the final result here. During the group buy, the kit had noise and vibration foam pads in it. The noise pad is designed to sit between the circuit board and plate and help trap the noise inside of the case, and the vibration pad sits in the bottom of the case to reduce any vibration between the circuit board and the inside of the case. All in all, both pads do a fantastic job, and the board has a really solid feel and sound to it which can be attributed by all the different aspects of the build.
As I said earlier, the board was sort of supposed to be a one colour fits all, with a primary focus on the black and gold theme. I have already used the MT3 Serkia set and fell in love with the shape of the profile, and look of the keycaps, and mashing it up with the grey/off-white alphas from MT3 Susuwatari as a thought that I had only briefly entertained. Now, having seen them side by side, I couldn't see anything matching it better; unless I get my hands on a more gold-than-yellow and on black keyset. The Suswatari set was supposed to by my first MT3 set, but it took more that 18 months to go through the process of making the moulds, and matching the colours from the designer. In some ways the massive delays that the set saw were a blessing in disguise, as my expectations of the set had dropped so much. But when I saw it in person for the first time, I couldn't have been more pleased with the final result. The Susuwatari colourway was inspired by Studio Ghibli, and while I'm not well versed in their movies, the warm tones, and retro colours really sung out to me; that's where red accents come from along with the cat novelty. The artisans were from my collection that I felt help add some more depth and matched the overall theme pretty well, and the EMP is just there for fun.
The cable was what I got when I first branched into the world of detachable USB cables, and it was only supposed to be a colour that went well with anything. After a while, I realised just how much I dig the black and gold combo. So in a way it was the cable the sort of sparked the whole build
Well I think that's another one chalked up for the 'endgame', and I can't wait to see what changes might happen with it in the future, just don't go looking for the “/?” key...
