Shots From PhotoPlus Expo 2012

The main purpose for attending a photography trade show is to get a chance to handle cameras, lenses and gear. But there are also interesting photo opportunities at various booths and stages around the floor.

By far the biggest aisle clogger was the body painting being done at the Unique Photo booth.

Dancers, jugglers and models were to be found in front of backgrounds lit with continuous lighting.

Here are some examples, all made with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens at f/2.8 and ISO 800:

I mistakenly brought far too heavy a shoulder bag to the event. Next year I will definitely slim down the weight and probably opt for a backpack/sling bag to save the shoulders.
