Now THIS was a surprise for me! D8

Man, that axe and shield was HEAVY DUTY stuff. Just a lot of awesome the way she made the armor and bucket too.

It was a really hard shoot because I didn't have any lighting gear at the site other than an off-hand flash and the camera itself. Had to push the D7000 to balance grain from High-ISO with the slow shutter speed. Very hard to do.

Was it incandescent lighting that made it hard?

No, it was A LOT darker than this so I really had to pump the ISO and hold the camera steady X__X;
(not easy when on the ground)

Wow, i cant imagine how dark it was then. Did you also had to do some clean up in light-room software?
you having not at least a external flash sounds awful...

thats why i got my camera with flash built in. bad thing its limited and cant be upgraded like yours to a more powerful flash.
how high did you up the iso?

anyway great work ounce again.

I did have an external flash, but too strong = bad shot.

Yes, had to clean using LR.

I also used the built in for SOME fill.

Bummer your flash too strong and mine can be too weak.

Well it worked out, doesn't look like you edited too much or anything; lol.

Mission accomplished and another satisfying shoot. Thanks for sharing.

Well good enough for me. If you haven't noticed, cosplay is kind of a strong passion of mine and your a good teacher in that respect.
Try, try and try again...
I respect your work; so im just going to ignore the "Heh, I'm not that good of a teacher.".
