Thread 4464095

took a jumpship cruise a few months ago, went planetside in adaven to visit sal sagev. gonna dump some images. you may need to adjust your VCI since there were two stars, not to mention the radiation. pretty standard 3 "day" excursion, I won't bore you with too many things you've seen before hopefully.

>>4464095 (OP)
home on this scorching hellworld. wasted the landing afternoon recuperating from the short walk across the desert to get this view. it was wee hours when I woke up

How's the gravity?

>>4464097
did get to see this guy in the pre-morning light. the light from the primary star is always visible, so you really tell time from the M-dwarf companion.

>>4464099
>>4464098
honestly, not too bad. I think its actually within standard range, maybe a bit higher

>>4464100
we did a little hiking around camp before taking a hov into town the first full day

>>4464102
went to a botanical garden in town. I guess permanent light and heat works for some plants, freaky stuff. being a shell of its former self I would have assumed a lot of stuff like this to be gone, but I guess when the mines are dried up what else do you have? got me to spend some cash, anyway.

>>4464106
these guys fuckin grow out here

>>4464107
the monitors are apparently in place from some agreement with the locality and GMG to make sure what little mining is still ongoing in the area doesn't cause structural damage.

>>4464108
back near camp

>>4464110
took a little walk before we went to an abandoned mine the next day

>>4464118
its amazing how fast the it changes. chatting with another traveller on the hov over to the mine and suddenly its bright as hell and the sun is over the horizon beating us down

>>4464119
>the it
damn I really should have worn the radiation liner huh, my brain must be cooked.

>>4464122
when you have two suns, make some molten salt as I always say

>>4464124
the mine tour experience included excellent facilities

>>4464126
it was creepy as shit being underground though. I couldn't live that way. honestly, just being down there a few hours nearly gave me a panic attack.

>>4464127
but people did used to live down there, a long time ago. fucked up way to beat the heat.

>>4464132
decided since this was the last full day I had I'd stay active when we got back. saw this guy strolling around like it wasn't over 315 out!

>>4464138
stayed up late enough to see the sky turn back blue, then called it for the night. one last hike in the morning and then back to the spaceport

>>4464143
actually managed to catch the sky still blue for a brief moment before the colors fully changed

>>4464144
I think this was supposed to be the end of the trail but the idiot guide took us on an "extra" leg, made me have to really rush to make my shuttle

>>4464147
through the canyon, up the rocks....

>>4464149
...and then back down the rocks...

>>4464150
now don't get me wrong, it was a nice extra that I enjoyed in the moment, at least until we learned that we'd all wait an hour for a hov to come get us because of the heat.

>>4464152
turns out despite being "all-terrain," the tour people only use the hovs on roads and specific trails. at least we got some more nice views on the ride back (no to mention some cool air)

>>4464153
made it back with enough time to walk the grounds of the camp area. they really do have these guys everywhere

>>4464154
there was a busted pipe that attracted some of the local fauna. I was calling these guys goats every day until someone finally corrected me that somehow they're descendants of sheep??

>>4464155
back in town, had a bit of time to kill before launch. they have some of these fliers to take miners to and from more remote sites where a hov would take too long.

>>4464156
even the damn spaceport had a cactus garden. surprised they weren't selling tshirts of them. I was informed that some people even eat them!

>>4464157
anyway, that was my time on the surface. by the time the secondary was below the horizon I was back in my cabin on the jumpship, waiting for the next gate. would recommend if you have a thing for it being ungodly hot or cacti. hope you netizens enjoyed a taste of the dead edge of space.

>>4464155
They look like Ibex anon, a type of wild goat.

>>4464163
Based on OPs larp and filenames I think they're bighorn sheep.

>>4464095 (OP)
were these taken on film?

>>4464949
lomo turquoise and purple
harman red
kono donau II

>>4464991
i had a feeling. I recently gotten into film and those popped into my radar shot my first roll of Fuji 400 this past weekend
These films look great, thank you for posting. I wanna try out jazzy blues by ultrafine

This is mega nerd shit lol, I love it though. Good job OP, very creative, nice use of novelty film.

Best thread in weeks here.

ty, had the vague idea a month before my trip and decided that I'd go for it. Not sure I could expand the concept too much beyond a thread (maybe a page on my website that I don't have?) or how I'd do a real life show with it but that'd be cool too.

This idea is interesting but some of your photos are too repetitive. You need to reduce the amount of images.

Also you should creature your own creature like William Mortensen rather than just using wildlife. Without creatures, found objects and mutations it is just boring landscape.

>>4465846
*you should create

>>4465845
You need to reduce the amount of images and create more variety. Novelty of the film is not enough, you need novelty of subject too(which you already to some extent you do need more variety). Take inspo from your favorite scifi novels, painting etc.

This shit is cool OP

>>4465848
he makes very good use of lomo turquoise. It genuinely looks like another planet or some lovecraftian level shit where human tech has been moved to another planet like >>4464121

>>4465862
This sort of thing has been done before. See Inka & Niclas' photobook "The Belt of Venus and the Shadow of the Earth"

OP is more gritty than these photographers and he needs to fully embrace it. I think Inka & Niclas are still stuck in documentary photography type composition and it is not appropriate technique for what they were trying to achieve. I think OP's style is right for this kinda thing but he needs to do a lot of improvements.
