Gamesday Baltimore 2008, Part II
I've been digging through all of the additional Gamesday photos I took and I thought I might throw a couple more up just for the sake of completeness, since I went to the trouble of picturing some of them.
First, a couple of the other Gamesday entries that caught my eye and were subsequently photographed. I am not sure how these placed, don't ask! I was too busy trying to get my own entry boxed up and packed away at the end of the day, since it's a bit of a process. In no particular order:
It's a bit amazing how scratched up and dented the cases they put the GD entries is. Someone needs to buckle down and make some new ones, because it is hard as hell to shoot a camera through some of 'em. I got a peek at the photo setup they were using for the entries, and all I can say is that I'm mighty jealous - the dude even had a pair of lights attached to either side of the camera lens for when he actually shot the models. I have no idea how he keeps from washing out all of the models.
I snapped a couple random pics off of the boards as we were playing that I thought were neat, or ideas that I might consider making into a board of my own. Here's a couple of the ones that came out:
The costume contest was a bit of fun, though incredibly unfair. Everyone was milling around waiting to see who would come out of the woodworks until a kid dressed as an eldar titan crashed the party, at which point he effortlessly won the contest. I imagine the girl standing next to him felt a bit cheated by the whole ordeal, having spent most of the day being oggled by the Gamesday crowd for nothing. Still, that kid was awesome and I'm glad he won. I'm seriously considering giving the commissar outfit a go next time.
There was also a pretty good eldar ranger going around the place, too, who I missed in that picture:
Here's a couple more of the things they had in display cases around the convention.
I think that's about the extent of my worthwhile photography at the event. Enjoy!
