Steampunk at Burning Man
Image by Stuck in Customs
Everyone at Burning Man is in costume all the time. That’s about 50,000 people at a week-long costume party that becomes pretty intense. On the night of the actual burn of the tower (which you can see in the background), there was a little gathering of steampunk players toward the inner ring. One of the girls saw me taking photos, and came over to compare goggles for a bit. I grabbed this one of her just before it was time to return to her party.
I’ve processed many photos from Burning Man. It was an amazing time, and I took a different approach. I did the usual HDR style on a few, but I also experimented quite a bit. I’ll share some of this in an upcoming post — I’m aiming to get them up sometime this week if I can!
Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
What a shot! Thanks for sharing this, Trey.

Great look. Did you get all the dust out yet?
How excellent. I can only imagine with 10 trips to Sturgis in my brain,
Manas

coooool !!!
Freaking good. It is amazing
An amazing portrait shot, not an everyday motive!
Interesting shot! would like to go to the Burning Man fest once, but its a little far for me so too expensive, do you recommend?!?
I was wondering if you ever got tired of HDR and wanted to try something else…with all the new bells and whistles (and plug-ins) there certainly is a whole new ‘toybox’ to play with
This must be a cool event. I must get myself there one day.
gorgeous lighting!
amazing shot!
Great photo: And god, how I love steampunk <3
very cool
Wild, she’d have looked at home in a Mad Max flick(Pre-insanity Gibson).
wow !! not sure why I have not seen a video of this event…likely it could be found on YouTube…but I never look there.
Looks like a rich place for the camera ! "This photograph is a WINNER!"
the BEST of Flickr!!!
Love a bit of steampunk! Great shot.

That is one HOT outfit. Believe it or not, I am a huge steampunk fan!!
WHOA! Crazy shot!
You gott be kidding me – instant fave!
I LOOOOOVE everything steampunk, dieselpunk, all dystopic, punk-ending scenarios 😉
And I’m pretty curious to see what ‘new style’ you’ve come up with.

Awesome steampunk outfit this gal has and nice touch having the man in the distant background.
