Photography, Leatherwork and Costuming
I have decided that I want to start keeping my convention photography on its own URL, so ConPhotog.net was created. I will slowly be adding my backlog on con pics to the new site, and will then just post links here from that site when new conventions pictures are added.
The site just went up today, so it needs quite a bit of tweaking, but I just wanted to get the URL posted.
This last weekend was my first time to attend ConNooga which was held at the Chattanooga Choo Choo hotel. I didn’t really attend much of the programming, but it was great to have a weekend away hanging out my friends. I was able to get some decent long exposure shots of Jess hooping in her gaga disco bra with her new LED hoop. I really like how they turned out.
Here are a few pics.

Yesterday was the first Nashville Roller Girls double header bout. Nashville won both bouts and it was a great time. Here are a couple of sample pictures.

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.
