Steampunk Trio by maggiemae

Steampunk Trio

Steampunk costumes can be anything - odd, old, colourful, spunky, quirky, you name it! The Steampunk festival gets under way this weekend in Oamaru, NZ. Lots of smiles here appreciating my taking the photo!

Three good things:
1/- Roast Hogget
2/- my tooth is not hurting (yet) in spite of having 2 large bits fall out when eating a sticky biscuit!
3/- a new scarlet shirt to wear to the Oamaru on Fire event this evening when our Ukelele Group perform.
Love the idea of this STEAMPUNK festival --great capture of the dressed up tri & so good in b&w

Steampunk can also mean the most exciting scrapbooking stuff! hehe. this photo is fabulous and I love that you chose to do it in black and white because you're able to focus on the styles, rather than the colour and distraction around. Great shot!

i've heard of 'steampunk' before but didn't quite get it. now that i've read about it, i can appreciate it. while i love the b/w treatment of this shot, i'm intrigued how this looks like in colour. :-) i like the shot though and the lighting methinks is perfect!
June 3rd, 2013  
Cool costumes! Those shoes on that fellow are quite unique! And I love the hat on the lady in the middle.
June 3rd, 2013
