LibertyCon is held at the Chattanooga Choo Choo hotel in Chattanooga, TN in late June every year. This year was the 28th anniversary of the convention and the first time they sold out. They have a hard cap of 700 tickets and they capped a few weeks before the convention.
I haven’t had time to do more than log the photos into Lightroom and pick a few that really jumped out at me to do a basic edit and export. Many, many more will follow over the next couple of weeks, including the wedding that happened Thursday night.
Enjoy. And for a change, they’re all work safe.
The "Lady Vivimus". A sword made by Hank Reinhardt based on the description of the Lady Vivimus sword in Glory Road by Robert A. Heinlein. The Cedar and Sanford jumped it after saying their vows and the Hoyts jumped it after renewing theirs.
Even the Gnomes enjoy the thug life.

The Brewhouse Pub next to the hotel. One of the better places to eat in the area.
It took a while, but I finally got around to doing some more edits from the shots I took at LibertyCon 27 at the Chattanooga ChooChoo Hotel in Chattanooga, TN.
Enjoy.

A difficult exposure shot. I used gradient filters and a bit of LIghtroom editing to bring out the under exposed deck and overexposed sky. This is NOT and HDRI edit.

What would a Science Fiction convention be without a pirate?
I don’t remember who she’s listening to, but knowing that crowd, it could just as well be a NYT bestselling author, a rocket scientist, or a hippy living out of his van.

Abstract of the desk lamp. Ok, I got bored calibrating the focus on one of my lenses.

I just got back from LibertyCon 26 in Chattanooga, TN. Once again, we stayed at the lovely, if woefully under air conditioned Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel. I won’t bore you with an after con report since I spent the con hanging out with friends and shooting anything and anyone that stood still long enough. I even caught a couple of mermaids in the pool. I’ll have photos of those soon as I get feedback from the lovely ladies with fins.
Enjoy.
