This last weekend was the first convention of the year that I attended, Chattacon in Chattanooga, TN. I worked for part of the con at the beer booth, and also had a photographer badge, even though I didn’t snap that many shots over the weekend. This con is always a great time, and a good chance to catch up with people that you haven’t seen since Dragon*Con in many cases.
They had the band Arc Attack there and i was able to get some decent shots of their show that is conducted using singing Tesla coils.
Here are a couple of samples.

It has been a bit since I have updated, and I plan to work through some backlogged pictures that I have, but the holidays have taken up most of the extra time that I have had recently. I finally have my seamless paper set up in a permanent place at my house, so I hope to get some more people over to get some costume pictures as they are able.
Another thing that I would like to do this year is to get out on some trips where I focus solely on photography. I would like to do a couple of weekend trips on the motorcycle to try and find some nice remote spots to take some pictures. I need to get out the maps and see what kind of trips that I can plan.
One of the final things that I am working on is on using different off camera lighting where I am not shooting against the seamless paper. This involves quite a bit of trial and error, but the best way to get it right is by practicing. I also hope to acquire a new camera body later on in the year and maybe a new lens or two as money allows. As of now, I am thinking of a Canon 7D, but there is a chance that I will go with a full frame camera, but I have plenty of timeto research my options.
I hope everyone is off to a great start to the new year.
