Dragon Con 2017 Saturday Photos Set 1<\/p>\n

Another great time at Dragon Con this year. I was only able to attend on Saturday, but the weather was amazing. Thanks to all the cosplayers who posed! I’ll be updating all the names in the captions when I get a chance! If I’m missing someone, please send a personal message, or tag yourself in the post on Facebook. I’d definitely like to credit all the talented people in my photos.<\/p>\n

Just a few of the old and new friends made: MJ and SAVAN @MJ_AND_SPIDEY | XPHAKDER | JEFF MCCLURE | JOHN HUYNH | @MarkKnightRises | VALXONIA | CALYPSO | GL1940<\/p>\n

Technical Notes:\u00a0 Didn’t roll with anything unique in terms of photo gear, just my normal Nikon outfit.\u00a0 First time in a while that I didn’t duel wield Canon as well. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 24-70mm 2.8, 70-200mm 2.8, 35mm 1.8, and 105mm 2.8 for all of these photos.\u00a0 If anyone at Nikon USA would like for me to test the upcoming D850, I’d be happy to oblige! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
