The first order has been placed for people who wanted their prints before Christmas. You should see them in about 10-14 days. Last time I ordered prints they took about 7 days to arrive, and the mail carrier required a signature. That added two extra days because I had to pick them up before work, package everything that evening, then drop them off the following day. I made sure that no signature is required this time, so the envelopes will be in the mail the day after I receive the prints.
For those who chose the email option, I'll be sending them no later than Tuesday, Dec 8th. Update - the emails went out. If you haven't received yours, contact me at deckman73@gmail.com. I may have a spelling error or your inbox may be full and rejecting attachments.
The new softbox works great! We had to move it a few times to accommodate different poses, and it wobbled a bit. A small tension adjustment to the corner of the sheet straightened it right out. I'm using a large nylon stuff sack from the WalMart camping section to carry the softbox and my muslin backdrop. Easy!
Funny parallel - I was the first Soldier at the event, because I wanted to get the backdrop and tripods and softboxes and cameras and flags and laptop and all my other paraphernalia arranged before the unit arrived. Once the last picture was taken, nearly everyone else was gone. By the time my wife and I finished packing up, I was the last guy there in a uniform. One of the many mottos of the U.S. Army Combat Engineers is "First In, Last Out." I certainly lived up to that one.
How did the pictures turn out? Here are two of my favorites:
Thanks to everyone who showed up, and thanks to the Copper Tank for hosting our event!
