been a browncoat now almost 2 years.
Ths first thing I saw on this site was the Serenity By Gaslight graphic. I downloaded it, saved it, use it for my wallpaper. It's why I'm a regular HERE and not somewhere else.
But where , exactly, did that shot come from? I've seen it in one of the documentaries on the DVD. Did Joss, the camera man, and the lighting guys just cook that shot up? Did it just Happen?
I usedta study design and stage lighting, so I know some of the tricks with light and shadow, but I've never had a picture of a place grab me the way that one does. I *W*A*N*T* to walk on that deck, sit at that table, touch those walls, sprawl in a chair in the nook.
I appreciate the genius that went into that shot, and I want to be able to credit it properly.
Anybody know?

I don't know for certain.. but I kind of remember that it was a photo that NATHAN took,,, wandering through the set/ship after the cancellation..
perhaps Haken or someone with more knowledge can confirm this. but that is my recollection.
And it does have a warm yet haunting feel to it.. haunting as in poignant.

I believe it was taken the day the cast got the notice that the series was cancelled...
The image makes a great wallpaper!

I never gave much thought of where the pic came from. I figured it had to be one of the set referance shots, but I could be wrong. It would be great to give props to the one who took the shot. Serenity by Gaslight has been on my desktop for over a year and occasionally I get someone askin' what it is.

I'm another one with that photo saved for
wallpaper. It captures the amber light, the
warmth of the galley, and also the warmth
I found in most parts of this board.
Would really like a definitive answer as
to the provenance of this shot because people
tend to ask about it.

Count me in as one of the bunch who has it saved and uses it as a wallpaper frequently. Sometimes I need to see our "home" and that's the shot that makes me sigh and wish and be comforted. I too find it representative of our home here on this board. All of us a crew together.
Like you, NOBC it makes me yearn to be on Serenity.
Never felt a connection to a ship in a scifi series before, but Serenity feels like home to me.. I'd get on her in a second and "go out into the black". I've told friends before and I mean it sincerely... I'd ship out on Serenity as the deck washer!
Chindi, you're one of those people who knows how I feel about that ship.. and you're right, it's "haunting and poignant". Like the last glance over your shoulder as you're forced to disembark from her and there's a thought that you might not get to fly in her again.
I've "heard" that Nathan or Nathan's father took the pic and that somehow Haken knows them and got a copy? Haken, only you can clarify this, so it's not just a wild rumor but fact.... I sure hope you'll tell us!
Meanwhile, tonight it's back up on my desktop.
And it still makes me sigh.

Ohhhhh, shoot!
Gorramnit.
Tears, a little, thinking of it.
Had for wallpaper this evening "That Shot" of Nathan as Caleb, knife gleaming in the light. Had turned it into a black/white image and set it up.
Now I'm thinking it's got to be the galley and the gaslight, and the last of my pot of coffee while we run so quietly through the black toward whatever's next.

Hi, Chindi.. good to see you on the boat too!
*puts on the teapot and gets oolong tea out of the cupboard and sets out three metal galley cups*
Yes! Lets! Please. I can't think of anything I'd rather do.
