Up Close and Personal with the Imperial Walker
Imperial Walkers are some of the coolest sci-fi creations ever. I heard Lucas got the idea from looking at those giant seaside cranes in the San Francisco bay. If you ever cross the Oakland Bay Bridge, you can see the huge monstrous ironworks marching into the distance.

I would love to go be on a movie set to take photos. Why hasn't anyone invited me to do this? I don't know... But if there is an awesome movie being made somewhere with really interesting visuals, I hope someone enterprising can get me onto the set! I'll do my best to take some really memorable shots. It's too late for me to get on the Star Wars set, sadly. Besides, I was only 6 when the first one came out, and I didn't know that much about cameras... just light sabers.

    nice shot!

    I remember these things being dangerous and blowing things up. I DO hope you were careful!

    Awesome, look at the size of it. I like how they did it emerging from the trees. The detail on the walker is fantastic. I need to get me a better camera. I envy your work, you are truly a master. Nice work.

  11. grinderz

    Wow, you’ve just taken me back almost 30 years, I so wished I had one of those models when I was a kid. I remember a school friend let me take his home one weekend to play with, it was so cool… thanks for bringing up some great memories!

  12. meeneque

    nice shot

  13. Mathiasa

    Star Wars is so awesome, I have a little miniature stormtrooper sitting on my desk.

  14. kkirkpatrick1

    Nice capture! The Force is with you! :)

  15. Sharky_MB

    Great view, Trey! I admire SF and all the special effects stuff, models and scenery. It would be fine, to see all the movie production, sets, miniatures, postproduction, for Star Wars movies.
    Show us some more, please.

  16. jiggityjoggs

    This is the best picture ever!!!

  17. The Art of capturing... in and out....

    Movie sets are interesting, I always dreamed of shooting some as well… Can you imagine shooting the set from ‘How the The Grinch stole Christmas’ wtih Jim Carrey?

  18. onemark

    Awesome! Do you still know much about light sabers then? :-D

  30. Hishaam Siddiqi

    You’ve taken better pictures.
    :[

  31. vedd

    Nice Trey, but I tend to agree with the Hishaam above, you’ve taken better pictures than this. The sky is just totally washed out and a spoiler.
