HHNiP Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 The same to you, Z. I usually linger in the zones for a good long time, so keep an eye out for me as well. I usually sport a backpack with a bendable tripod hanging out of the side, for what that's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goo Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I should bring my tripod this weekend... or the monopod.. but both are a hassle... I've seen some monopods that fold up to a pretty small size.. I don't know if you'd want to look at getting a new one but I have seen ones that should fit in a bag.

ZKeeper Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Looking at these pics is making me wish Thursday would get here quickly. Anybody use flash here? I never do. Feels it washes out the natural color. One my favorite list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Walter Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) I use a flash when I have to but I bump the intensity down as much as possible. Any suggestions for a tripod that folds down small maybe to around 14 inches? Great pictures Zkeeper!!

HHNiP Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Working my way through my UTH Tour pics right now. Here are a couple that caught my eye: Lots of nice touches in this house. Don't miss the grave of Kim Gromoll: Or the vault of Ray Keim: And, of course, the Aiello family crypt: More to come. For the entire set, click HERE.

Grime Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Mr. Wilson, I've never been on a UTH tour before, but I'm going on the 23rd. How are these tours handled in terms of photography? Are you free to walk about the house for a few minutes to take pictures or do I have to stay with the pace of the group. I'd like to be able to sit in each scene for a minute or two to compose my shots, instead of having to rush with settings and fiddle about the scene trying to figure out what I want to do before the guide yells at me to hurry up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you asked Mr. Wilson the question, but I will chime in. Hopefully, thats ok. These tours are fairly small groups. No more than 10, maybe 15. There is plenty of time to take photos. As a matter of fact, many time the tour guides will specifically have everyone stand in a manner where people can get photos without other people in them. For example, when you are standing infront of the facade. I have been on this tour several years in a row now, and have always had enough time to take photos. Hopefully, you will enjoy the tour!

Barbaric Derek Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Every year I am blown away by what I see all of you photographers post. Kudos to you all. I wish I had the gear and know how to take my own shots. I love how so many of you catch such crystal clear shots with moving subjects in fog &/or low light. I also discovered the PDF book that was put together for last year's event... WOW! Why doesn't Universal use all of these fans shots (with royalties to you all of course) and combine it with their own inside photographers to sell an actual printed book after each event?!?! I'd sure as hell buy one especially if it came out in January or March to help with the off season. Again... keep up the good work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZKeeper Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 To Grime, As for the UTH. I tend to stick in the back of the group. Because as people move onward. You can hang back a little and take pics without people being in the way. The only down side is you can't really hear the host speak. Thanks Derek and I agree with you. This is my first year ever taking professional photos. So while I snap I still look at whatever one else does here and I simply blown away. Great job to you all.

HHNiP Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Grime: Agree with HHNPicman completely. As a matter of fact, he, the Director of Horror and myself were all on the tour together last weekend. The tours move at a pretty slow pace, so stick to the back of the group and snap at your leisure. The guide may give you some playful jabbing (as ours did) when it's time to move on, but they're never pushy. After all, these tours are designed with fanatics like us in mind. Barbaric Derek: Glad you enjoyed the book! We're 90% through with the book for HHN 19 and can't wait to start work on one for HHN 21. The talent of these HHN photographers is phenomenal, and it's an honor to work with all of them. Mark: Great shots, as always. Hope to bump into you again one of these FFP evenings. ZKeeper: Keep up the great work. It's wonderful to see the photos that this year is generating. Very impressive stuff from everyone! And a couple more shots from my UTH Tour, this time focusing on Nevermore: And here's a detail that you can't see in the darkness of HHN (and it's hard to make out in the photo, but it's there), but our UTH guide pointed it out. This bookcase is at the very beginning of Nevermore. If you look at the top shelf, the fifth book from the left is called "Sith Happens," written by an author named Maul. Just another inside Star Wars joke by our friends in A&D. Full-size image can be found HERE. Edited October 6, 2011 by W. Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruinsFan Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Taking pictures at HHN is one of my favorite things to do. I am sheepishly going to step into this world of AMAZING DSLR pictures and post some of mine taken with a non-DSLR. Please forgive me for taking over this thread for a bit. All of these photos were taken between Thursday, September 29 and Sunday, October 2 during my one and only trip to HHN this year. I am going to post my pictures by location. A lot detail seems to have been lost when the pictures were re-sized. If you would like the full resolution version of any of these, just let me know.
