Now Arriving . . .
The U.S.S. Pathfinder makes orbit as it arrives at an M-class planet within the Hatteran Expanse.
————————
This evening after the end of my work shift, I settled in to work on a new logo which required me to make a few renderings of a few different planets using Studio Max.
But before it was over, I found myself dragging the mesh used to represent the U.S.S. Pathfinder into the program and placing it in orbit over one of those planets.
Kevin might frown that I did not get around to writing a response to his post this evening, but it did an excellent job helping me relax after passing through the several mad weeks of photographing spring sports playoffs, festivals and graduations.
It has also done well to inspire me, giving me even more reason to want to write as … for me as a photojournalist … these images help put an added layer of realism to the stories.
I love it!
Look for more images in the next few days as I have several more just waiting to be worked up!

The year is 2265. seven years have passed since the name Vulcan passed from a desert world to a black hole absorbing all that step too close.
