[Photoshoot] - "Painting with Starlight" series - Assistance needed, commanders

[Vingtetun]

In the ongoing series of photoshoots with different ships in different locations, I scouted a good location last night (see below). I'm thinking the blue light would suit an Asp nicely.

For the previous ones, you can go to my other two threads prefixed with [photoshoot] or to my blog (below) and click on Gallery.

So - I'm looking for a patient commander, available from 8.30pm UK time (approx) in an Asp who is happy to fly out to Beta-1 Tucanae for the shots of that ship. I'll be finding a nearby yellow star for some other shots as well - possibly a twin star system if I can find one.

Needs to be someone patient, who has a mic so we can work on the ship positioning. Bring tough shields (in case I have to grind the sidey up against it for closeups - don't want to be responsible for ship damage bills!).

If that person also has a variety of skins for their Asp as well, we can try out the different colour sets.

My low-res versions of the location scouting:

If you're up for a challenge (and a high res copy of the best ones for your own desktop), drop me a PM and a friend request in game.

The next ship on the list is an Orca and I'm working on a fun location for that one. Something that sightseeing passengers would want to see.

You're very welcome. I'm enjoying taking them almost more than I am playing the main game content.

I would like to, but I'm currently a 1000Ly out from Sol and still going

Look forward to the shots

I'm starting my journey tonight; run boy, I'm going to catch up.

Well - after the Asp and Orca, the plan is that the 1000yr route planning will be enabled and I can see how far I can push the photo-sidey toward a nebula for screenshots. Either that, or grind until I can get to Clipper and do the same.

THEN, I need to get someone to follow me so I have something fun in the foreground.

If anyone with a cobra wants to head over, too we can sort some multi ship shots.

Noice. Just bought my cobra last night actually; 22ly jumps BWAHAHAH .. I am ready for exploring! >

Absolutely awesome example of the "create your own content" concept. So, this is a role that FD didnt talk about: space artist.
Dont own an asp though, just sidey and viper. Have fun

 

[Vingtetun]

OK - Rho Tucanae has a white F star..... Looking at the other areas now... (bring a disco scanner or buy system data if you're coming!)

Teaser shots to attract commanders to put their ships "in the picture"

Are these direct screenies, or do you fiddle with them a little in PS or something?

Tentatively interested, I have skins for the Asp, Cobra, Hauler and can afford anything (in game) up to the Type 9 currently. I also hang around Imperial space so I'm local

I come with my own Teamspeak server too, so there's that!

Well... send me a friend request in game. One other commander joining me from 830 in the Vingtetun private group at beta-1 tucanae then onward to the others if time permits.

Direct screenies....

I only ask because they're so damn good, they look PS'd, - showed my boss today, he couldn't believe it. xD

 

[Vingtetun]

All done - many thanks to CMDR Heater! Processing the best 11 shots now. Watch this space...

 

[Vingtetun]

Ok.... next one.... the Orca and the Fed Dropship.

For the Orca, I am needing a pair of Eagles and a good location.... Will spend a few days scouting. If anyone has any sights worth working with, pm me the system name.

Looking for an Orbis close to a planet/moon combo, a very red sun, a sandy planet with an atmosphere and a funky looking gas giant with a moon near the rings.

May take me a few days to scout out!

I'd advise any pilots who takes the OP up on his offer to be cautious. Don't let him take any pictures of you that makes you feel uncomfortable. And don't believe him when he tells you that every other commander he photographed had no problems with the poses he asked them to adopt.

 

[Vingtetun]

Scurrilous lies! That Clipper was nowhere near me!

 

[Frank]

I'm amazed you have the gall to say that! We do have the pictures to prove it.
