MarkMedia » Photography » The Borg Cube

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... there were... the Borg. They kicked Han Solo's ass shortly after the end of Return of the Jedi and assimilated the entire planet of Endor. Do you know how easy it is to out-run an Ewok Borg? Very easy. They can be kicked, too, provided their shield modulation frequency hasn't matched the frequency of your foot.

This photo was taken by using an old apron I had previously used for photography work. That's the background you see. I mounted a black light to the right of my Borg cube. The Borg cube is actually a toy sold by Playmates Toys, Inc. in the mid 1990's. It lights up on the inside when a button is pressed and makes lots of loud and obnoxious Borg sound effects. I used standard consumer FUJI 400 film with my Canon T50 and a 50mm FD lens. No flash was used. I simply pressed the timer, engaged the lighting / sound effects on the model, and allowed the camera to expose the film (which took about 10 seconds or so). I was running the aperture on automatic which produced very nice results.
