thanks! it was very interesting and there were all sorts of different costumes. and i cant wait go go back next year!

Awesome set!

many thanks! i my favorite was the first one becasue its my brother and i was happy about the catch.

i wasnt happy about cutting the head off because the shooter next to me got her pinky in the way and then said "oops sorry did i mess your image up?" i knew it was sabotage she was shooting canon :tongue:

There's one coming to Ontario. I'm debating between going as a photog or as a participant. :biggrin:

Fantastic set. The first one is great - and the guy in the stormtrooper costume? Classic.

thanks! love that onw as well. i think its a combination of the grittyness and the mud/water slinging off of him mid air

how is the editing on these images guys? is the color and processing overdone?

still trying to nail down edits for certain moods etc and wanted to know if this even worked with these images.

Personally, I think the editing is spot on, considering the mood of the photos.

On the B&W pic, you may want to boost the contrast to see if it looks better.

i actually played with contrast but overall i liked this B&W a little better. the way the wet clothes stuck to the guy with the gritty water slinging off, i ddint want an overly dark image so i was satisfied with the way this one came out.
