"Gateway of the Ancients 3: Flight to another world" by Steven P. Love

SF&F Picture 5 out of 12 by Steven P. Love

Another depiction of a Stargate in operation.

This time I have the Stargate floating near the surface of an alien world with an aircraft approaching as the Gate activates.

The background is composed of two photos I took; one of an Arizona sunrise and another photo of some jagged cliffs near the Arizona town of Superior.

The Air Plane is also from a photo I took of a Plane coming in for a landing at a local airport near where I live.

The Stargate and effects are digitally painted using Photoshop.

29 Jun 2007	John R Farley Jr	Loading... I don't know why, but I get a feeling of movement here, an effect I've always liked. I'm a bit of a Star Gate SG-1 fan myself so this is a nice image, and I like the way you did it. The airplane is cool too. There could be some great stories to go along with that. Steven P. Love replies: "Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I created the gate effects by taking a photo of water pouring from my kitchen faucet into a glass bowl. I took the photo at a high shutter speed which froze the bubble action. I then created a cut-out of the bubbles and manipulated it for the effect. The hardest part was getting that phosphorescent look of the wormhole event horizon. I had to digitally paint that over the photo of the bubbles."
18 Mar 2008	Jess L Rhapsodos	Loading... So cool, the bubble actually looks like its moving. And the whole background is completely awesome too. Steven P. Love replies: "Thank you. The Gate effects was actually the hardest part."
