Grime

People can talk about dubstep as long as there's some thought behind it pertaining to the event. Not just "I don't like it." I don't think we'll be seeing this though. Everyone is getting riled up because we've pretty much been mirroring Hollywood announcements up until now, but for this last one we haven't heard anything about it heading our way.

Unfortunately you're probably right, but I'm just trying to show people that there's more out there in the genre that can be used for a house and still feel like it fits. It is possible, it's just going to need some good decisions on Universals part.

I'm going to try and keep this on the topic of HHN by saying that while I do enjoy most forms of electronic music, I do not find that the in-your-face dubstep by Figure (which you posted) or Skrillex (who's technically not dubstep, he's more electro. he even says so and has no idea why he's labled as dubstep) would fit in a classic horror house. I DO however think it would fit in a very high energy house that's based on illusion and distortion. That said, there's more to dubstep than what you hear kids playing these days. The genre has been around since 1998 and does focus on the wobble-bass effect and a tempo of 138-142 BPM. The loud screeching noises that drives most people away is actually a trait of another form of electronic music called electro. Dubstep these days is mostly just people trying to shove the dirtiest basslines and electro into a song so it's usually classified as dubstep, when it's actually a mix. The song I posted is a more traditional style of dubstep. Look up Anticipate by Skream, that's another really good dubstep song that's not IN YOUR FACE WHOMPWHOMPWHOMP WHRRRRRRR like most stuff played these days. And I wish people would stop saying Techno to describe electronic music. Techno has been dead since the early 90's. BUT. Again, I think if people listened to more of the traditional stuff, they would be more welcoming to it being in a house this year because executed well, it can really give you a variety of feelings from dread to anticipation to high energy and when paired with some cool strobes or other effects I think it would be a great opportunity to set up some scares.

I agree. The thunder seems more calm and there's a drizzle in the background now. Plus that song is missing. And the fonts do seem a little different.

I understand the mixed feelings about music choices, but please keep your posts related to the event. Not just "I like dubstep" or "I don't like dubstep." I think we have a music discussion thread somewhere.

Layed out properly, they could pull it off. I wouldn't mind something like this.

I would buy a ton of P&T and SH stuff depending on what the offer. I have to pass on hoodies mostly because I already own like 4. I prefer coats now with a nice beanie.

I'm sure we'll see something about Skrillex (even though he's electro) or the electronic music scene in general in B&T this year.

We don't know yet.

HEY GUYS! Remember that there are several members here with opinions that may not be as familiar with the event or how things work as some others. We're getting pretty tired of hiding posts because some can't stop acting like assholes to others with the witty remarks and sarcasm. This is a theme park event held for entertainment purposes. You are not some Norse god of Halloween Horror Nights. I'm going to start adding warning points leading to suspensions and bans when I have to remove a post because someone has to whip their e-peen out. Grow up and act your age.

Thanks man You know I took some last year, but there just weren't that many great opportunities as compared to previous years. But back then I had also had my camera for just over a few months. I've done a lot of shooting between then and now so hopefully I get some better results. And of course, hopefully we get some better scarezones. I'm trying to get my hands on an 85mm f/1.8 before September as well for portraits.

Thank you

Thanks guys

Any scareactors looking for pics this year drop me a PM and we can arrange a night where I'll shoot you in your street for free ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Most recent update: Lots of cleanup on dead links, some more recent photo updates. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome! I decided to make a thread for my own photography. I'll post updates here similar to my wordpress blog whenever I go to an event and take pictures I'll start this off with just some of the photos I've taken over the last year or so. Feel free to critique anything you'd like, I'm always open to criticism. I'm also open to any questions you may have! Q: Why photography? A: Honestly, I just wanted something to do when I go to events and conventions. Too many times have I been sitting spectating an event and though "man, I'd love to take some cool pictures of this." Basically, it gives me something to do when I go out. And I love sharing my photos with people. Q: What kind of equipment do you have? A: I shoot a Nikon D7000 camera. I have several lenses. I primarily use my 17-50mm f/2.8 as my walk around lens. I have this on my camera 75% of the time because of its wide aperture and 17-50mm zoom range. It works for everything except telephoto. My 2nd most used lens is my 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6. This is my big lens for shooting wildlife and sporting events where the subjects are far away. My other two lenses are my 35mm f/1.8 prime for extremely low-light situations (like HHN) and my 55-200mm f/4-5.6 which has been pretty much taken over by my 70-300. I'll probably sell it soon. I also used an SB-600 external flash with a Gary Fong Lightsphere collapsible diffuser. I have a Manfrotto tripod as well but I don't even remember what model. I use two straps. One is a Crumpler Industry Disgrace for when I'm using my flash. The other is a Black Rapids R-strap that I highly recommend if you're not using an external flash. Edit: Added a 50mm f/1.4 that will be my primary HHN lens alongside the 35mm f/1.8. Also added a 60mm macro lens. Q: Nikon or Canon? A: Doesn't matter. Both companies offer nearly identical bodies and lenses in nearly identical price ranges. Nobody will be able to tell what brand body or lens you used by looking at your photo. I went with Nikon only because the D7000 was the best camera available at the time in its price range. If Canon had a better camera in the price range, I would have picked Canon. It does not matter at all, do not let people tell you otherwise. Pick what's comfortable in your hands. Hell, I love Pentax bodies too. My friend shoots one professionally and his images are PHENOMENAL. Photos _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ More to come! Stay tuned!

He probably spent more than that lol. But that's good. Sorry to come off harsh, I just generally dislike people posting others pictures claiming them as their own. Especially the younger crowd. No hard feelings.

I edited your post with the information in it as well because that was way too much personal information to post on this website. I don't want to be responsible for anything.

Ok I believe you. I don't believe that most of those were taken with anything less than a DSLR though. I'm confused as to why you're advertising with a Coolpix though? You won't be able to do a whole lot with that at HHN. You'd need something that can support a high ISO speed with low noise and a fairly wide aperture lens.

Edit: I see you added more. I'm having a hard time believing this is the work of a 14 year old with a Coolpix. Could you post the exif data for any of these?

Hollywood also makes more sense for things like movie properties because, well, it's Hollywood.
