    Almost no post-processing was involved here, I just made the overall color and tone a little colder and a bit brighter. I had shot this exact same photo a week before without a tripod and the ISO set to 800, which resulted in a sharp picture but with lots of noise and this image screams for a very clean noise-less look. Removing the noise in post-processing wasn't possible, probably due to the difficult gradients caused by the light and colors, so I shot it again yesterday using my trusty old tripod.
    What do you think of "recreation room 63B"?

    Cracking photo but don't think I'd enjoy being in there for much more than a few minutes! -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

    mmmm..., love the retro table and chairs. Is the phone receiver levitating?


    Dec 05, 2008

    for an empty space, there is so much going on here amazing work


    Dec 05, 2008

    I Think this is Art ! AWARD


    Dec 05, 2008

    that' awesome. looks like an old scifi-movie of the 70s.


    Dec 05, 2008

    so, what's going on w/ the phone???


    Dec 05, 2008

    This is indeed a scifi look just like the last one, here the light near the door is very special and gives me a 'Beam me up Scotty' feeling.


    Dec 06, 2008

    Nicely shot

    There's a great retro-future look to this ... like what Kubrick imagined 2001 to be like.


    Dec 09, 2008

    It's moon base Alpha ... where's Commander Koenig?


    Dec 09, 2008

    Hi, how did you set the white-balance? Auto, grey card, or just in post-production ? Because the WB looks perfect which is not easy for such king of indoor picture !

    PIXistenz
    Dec 17, 2008

    Thanks everyone for the comments and favs. Simon: I always have WB in Auto and I do corrections, if necessary, in post-production.

    Excellent colors and tones, reminds me of a place right out of the 1960's. Great lighting and superb sharpness. Outstanding work!

    Awesome room. Looks like a director in a movie tried to imagine a spaceship restaurant in the 1940s :)

    Fantastic composition. Very simple and elegant. Almost looking perfect except for the little electric heating hanging on the wall at the right which is slightly disturbing.

    This is completely and totally awesome. It's how stuff looked when I was only a wee boy. Dungeon? I would love to live in that room. Love the photo. I can't see much noise in the jpeg, just some weird artifacting around the light on the orange wall. Probably just compression.



    Again, this shot rules.
