I just got back from a brutally hard day at work. He's what I had to do ALL freaking day. I promised I'd post some picks, these are right from the camera with no editing other than resizing. I really miss these days, but I HATE unpacking the truck.

I was using a Canon 50D with a 70-200/4 L lens. Profoto and Elinchrom lights with the new Paul Buff PLM 86" SIlver Parabolic umbrella. It's very impressive. I was getting F/11 at 35' with only 75ws of power.

By the way I am sharing these with the Yard. Please do not copy an use as avatars or anything else online. I trust you guys. Thanks

I couldn't find a suitable Scrapper for Steampunkish themed fashion, although the Regulator was a close option.

You need a SYKCO!!

Not being hip, like you are Ted, I had no idea what Steampunk was. Is that the new fashion out in California? Nice pictures, anyway. Lovely girls.

Nice Pics Ted, thanks for sharing! I'm in the same boat as HD, not a clue what Steampunk is, lol.

wow

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.[1] Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may include such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne or real technologies like the computer but developed earlier in an alternate history.

Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" for such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or such digital mechanical computers as Charles Babbage's Analytical engine.

Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk. They have considerable influence on each other and share a similar fan base, but steampunk developed as a separate movement. Apart from time period and level of technology, the main difference is that steampunk settings tend to be less dystopian.

Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by individual artisans into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical "steampunk" style, and a number of visual and musical artists have been described as steampunk."


I GUESS

Ok, Ted explained it to me over on facebook. Think Wild Wild West, Jules Verne, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Anachronisms abound. Goggles, top hats, mechanical rather than electronic.

Gotcha, so I was a bit off base then. You learn something new every day!

Nice job on the photos and a big thank you for sharing.
