Got back from my day at the races, an overwhelming success with seeing friends and the costume was very well received (still have camera flashes in my eyes).  The neatest part was when it dawned on people that the camera mounted on my rifle was actually video recording... makes for some interesting reactions :P

I'm back home safe, waiting word from last part of convoy's safe arrival home before I rest.

Oddly enough although I am self declared permanently retired (yeah I heard that one before, but it's for sure this time) I was able to utilize my wits and concom contacts to help a friend in need and make sure things worked out well for her.  Phew :)

No more typing, me tired.  Have some photos and a metric buttload of video to edit - but that will be for later ;)

Got enough sleep and started to unpack, as well as transfer photos and vids into computer.   The camera worked out well mounted on the rifle but it's a bit shaky at parts, have to edit it together in a montage as well as extract scenes with image grabber as still photos.

But I think yesterday made for a successful test run of the outfit for Dcon on Labour Day weekend and all the kinks should be worked out.  I'm also quite proud of how well the outfit looked and the responses it got (trimming up certainly helped the look too). :)

Was a good time and will have stuff to share soon after I plug away at some details.

I got the video into my computer, but for some reason I am unable to edit the video like it successfully did when testing it out.  Got to try different software and give it another go instead of just posting the raw footage, also found out that much of the video taken is too shaky to watch unless arranged in a montage... still should work out ok, this was a first time test run.

In other news, here's a great shot on my camera to get the ball rolling, quite the hottie there too eh?  I neglected to get a single shot of just my finished costume, if anyone has anything please send it my way :)



That is one fine lookin' woman right there :)
