Alright, my actual BattleCry@WPI 14 Photos are posted!! (as opposed to the the Monkey meets Battlecry ones!). Sorry for the delay!!
I struggled A LOT with the insanely frequent changes in lighting (I think my ISO button is worn out now), as I absolutely hate to use Flash at FIRST events and avoid it like the plague (though had to pull it out for ice cream and some towards the finale... and probably should have used it more often). So some of my photos are not as crisp as I would have liked, but hopefully they at least do a good job of telling the "story" of BattleCry

I do have about 100-200 more photos that need more work that I will post in the next month or so, but this was the majority that I could get processed in under 10 hours.
I spent most of Friday with my zoom getting all the teams and robots, and the majority of the rest of the event with my wide angle getting more action & fun shots. I had an absolute blast capturing the teams and hanging out with the teams & volunteers

Thanks to everyone as always for putting up with me sticking my camera in your faces & robots!!!
Some important business though:
PLEASE PROVIDE PHOTO CREDIT (and/or leave my copyright symbol). I spend the entire event taking photos, and 10-14 hours after each event working on & processing my photos and they are under my copyright. The entire reason I post them is for people & teams to reuse them... facebook profiles/slideshows/sponsor presentations/websites/press releases/etc... I post my photos in full resolution so that they can be reused, but as I may eventually build a business & reputation out of it, credits will help with that. It can be as simple as a small font at the end of your slideshow or a caption of of "photos by kimsrobot" or "Photo by Kim Eckhardt", or just leaving the copyright symbol in the lower right. The only time I ask that you ask permission to use my photos is if you are going to remove the copyright symbol off the bottom or need a photo without the copyright symbol (in which case I will request that my name or kimsrobot be listed somewhere unless there is a good reason not to). Again, I love for everyone to use these photos (it makes taking them totally worth it!!!!), but please respect the copyright
Hope you enjoy!
