2ND WORLD EXCLUSIVE!  Lots of PCE/Turbo controllers in one photo!  Again, don't use these tiny images as wallpapers...you know you want the full 1920x1200 version!  :mrgreen:

Mouse time...this should make a good wallpaper.

Niiice, that mouse looks sharp! When are you going to take a picture of a Super Grafx + SUPER CDROM2 like I suggested!?  :mrgreen:

Holy crap, that's BEAUTIFUL! How many HuCards was that exactly?


Oh and do you think you could make a top down picture of just the HuCard floor?


Keep it up man, this is wicked awesome!


EDIT: OMFG THE MOUSE! AWESOME!
Forgive me, my brain is on par with the Bubble System.

Awesome pics, man!  Your PC Engine looks a bit yellowed.  Can you fix that in Photoshop without touching any other part of the image?  Also, where is the 3 button controller?  :)  Anyway I can't wait for the 1680x1050 versions!!

I used roughly about 80 of the US HuCards in that PCE shot.  When I get my SLR camera back, I'll do another photo shoot with just the HuCard floor.

I did say they were test images ;)  I didn't do any color correction for these images so that's why it looks slightly yellowish.  I've corrected the original photo (and the mouse.)

WOOoooooo HOOOooooooo! And I'm not one to use "woo hoo's" gratuitously, so don't take it lightly :).

Aaron, you rock! Here are my $0.02 :

1. PCE mouse = the composition is perfect. No joke. Excellent. I never thought that a cord could evoke drama, but you somehow managed to do it. :)

2. PCE controllers = brilliant idea, and the picture looks gorgeous. Variations on this theme are warranted: I'd try arranging the pads in a lop-sided, asymmetrical pattern....  think of the canvas as a "letterbox" and see if you can create a very "horizontal" sense of space. Damn, your picture is nice.

3. PCE + Booster! Yay! I'm trying to think of a way to change the composition to add more drama to it... but I don't know if it will look as nice as your picture. I was thinking of a 3/4 side view of the PCE + booster, but have it mirror the Leaning Tower of Piza... the PCE+Booster is a spire stretching out into black space.

I like the choice of HuCard; SFII complements the red, white and gray theme. :)

-------------
Bottom line: Yay!

I just got a brand-spanking-new SLR camera (the Canon Rebel XTi 10MP) to replace my old crappy one I used to take the photos I've posted up to this point.  Behold the first photo with the new camera:

The next update to the Turbo Memoirs won't use this new camera unfortunately, but this is just a taste of things to come!

Oh hell, here is another one.  I was using natural light for these but the sun is like gone so I had to bump up the ISO to 1800 so there is a bit of noise....but it still looks sweet ;D

It's a bit more than a bit noisy in the background, but damn nice nonetheless.  What is that anyway, paper?

Yes, just textured poster-sized paper (great for product shots).
