Description
Emma and Emily pose for an action shot after base camp is established and gear stowed. Jolly, Lexie and Kimmie stand ready to react in the background. Julia and Ellie take pictures and upload them to the team's public channel, testing their bandwidth limits in this remote part of the alien complex.

Daz 4.11 with iRay. Wafer-thin DOF settings in camera. Bloom ON. The render was a four-hour affair that resulted in one of the noisiest "completed" renders I've ever seen. It was essentially the same at 4hrs as it was at one. So! Topaz De-Noiser was drafted in for another 30-day trial. But the noise was too much even for this heavy-hitter. So then I took the de-noised image into photoshop, created a duplicate of the whole layer and applied a Gaussian blur, then erased the two girls in the foreground to reveal the sharp parts of the image. Voila! More or less. Additional LUT work in Photoshop for levels and colour.
