Photography Wars – Axpona 2018

Photography is an important part of every high-end audio show – but these days everyone has a smartphone, and things can go wrong… 🙂

Rafe Arnott, most recently with Part Time Audiophile, was using this Canon 5D MkII with a Canon 24-105 L lens as his primary camera

Neli is happy, it was a good show

 

Hermann [Hermann Winters of Acapella Audio Arts] starts to play his very, very favorite music at the end of the show.

Uh oh, Hermann spies me photographing him…

 

Now Neli gets her revenge with all these photos I took of her, taking her own photos of Herman and I

 

Hermann gets an idea…

 

Argh! Got me [I am not nearly as photogenic as these two, landing somewhere between the Loch Ness Monster and the Hunchback of Notre Dame].

Neli wins the most fun to photograph competition [but I am, of course, prejudiced ;-)]
