This is a collage of the dry plate photographer that was at the Steampunk event over the weekend .. He had his camera set up and groups of the Steampunkers came and posed for their photo.. Once set up they had to stand still for 7 seconds.. You can see the photographer timing in the lower left shot .. he then developed the plates on site .. the shot of the plate developing is not the one taken but another group there on the day ..
What a fab collage - and love the setting! I do love the steampunk outfits too - I keep meaning to go to a convention when they have them in the UK, but always miss them.
This festival has to be a photographer’s dream. Are the costumed participants a traveling troupe or are they local citizens? Their costumes and accessories are amazing.
@louannwarren@henrir They are just a group of people that love to dress up in the weekends.. this day was organized by the Auckland Photographic society.. and the local vintage railway was 'hired' .. so we knew when the train was coming In ..
This must have been fascinating to see Julz, you would enjoy it. How times have moved on! I saw an amazing mobile phone taking photos last night at the concert. I asked her which one it was, a Samsung 9plus, very expensive but I was impressed! Someone else asked her what make it was too so I wasn't the only one!
