Ok, so after much deliberation I figured out how to best display all of the photos I took at DragonCon. Instead of subjecting you to 9 weeks of updates for the 9 rolls that went through my camera over Labor Day weekend...I'll condense it into 4 weeks. And since Dragoncon is very much a cosplayer driven convention I'll devote most of October to the photos I took (even though relatively few of them are of people in costume).

2 weeks of updates will be single rolls of film, for the two new ones I tried. Then I will have a "mega update" containing all the color photos, and all the black and white photos.

This entry will cover the second half of the parade from Saturday, and the mini-shoot I did with Team Tank, a wonderful TankGirl cosplay group from here in Atlanta.

And now a few from the TeamTank shoot:

The jury still is out on this set. I'm not exactly happy with it, but at least things look better than the last roll. Cinestill film is a great concept, and looking back I really should have bought more than just a single roll when I had the disposable income.

Almost all of the demo images I have seen from it had a very great and unique look. I'm not sure if I just missed exposure on everything, or if my post production process just is that bad, but mine turned out very dark and muddy. And honestly I like more of the shots that I don't normally take like exteriors and the oddly shaped multiple exposure more than the shots of people.

I'd be curious to see what I could do with a LOT more light, really blowing it out, instead of being so dark. From my testing here it seems like even though this is an 800 speed film it really needs a LOT of light to expose "properly". But we'll cross that bridge when I can.
