Newly found studio photo

Post by GoldCylon » Mon Mar 24, 2008 8:09 pm

This photo taken by the studio back in 78 and was used calender. Till I saw this photo I thought it was taken inside the studio, but clearly you can see this is outside the studio.

Very intriguing.

I note there is a shadow in the studio shot, and although that could be replicated with todays photoshop technology, I don't see how or why they would try and do that in 1978.

Not that I am contending that there has been any funny business - but it is always good to see more of an insight from those days.

That shadow was one thing I was thinking about myself, but then if you blow the image up say 10 times past the original size, it is easy even back then to add a shadow in. Look back at the original Cylon attack craft. The fly by over the Battlestars showed a shadow cast on the ships.

Dale, do you have a larger sized photo of the outside Cylon? I've never seen that one before (other than used for the calendar).

Just a bit larger, but not much. I wish I had a larger file of it, but this is it below.

Now that was a fantastic addition Redeye.

I think I can even see the foam under the boot cuffs and one of the seams.

Very insightful. Thanks.

If so, please get in touch with me. Thanks!

I, too, thank you. One of my favorite pics of a centurion. Only had a small one until now. :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold:
