Hi everyone! Its ataken a bit to get back here. I had lots PC problems. And I lost my hard drive data. Along with my bookmarks.
But now that I am back, and looking around at some renders...an old question comes to mind....
Back with the science fiction shows we grew up with, all the ships were lit very brightly. Kirk's Enterprise looks white. All the ships in 2001 looked bright and white. So did battlestar Galactica and Star Wars.
But now everything looks DARK. The new galactica is so dark you can barely make out sections of the ships. Farscape also is darkly lit. The ST:TMP Enterprise is very dark.
But with modern day light amplification devices, and assuming the technology does improve, I would think that it wouldn't be unusual for future space ship photos to look very brightly lit. After all there is a TON of starlight in space. You can't escape it. So who's to say the original Star Trek show was "wrong"?
Just a thought. Not very elegantly stated but i think you get my drift.
