wow thats alot..too bad i live farther away

Good god, I had no idea this many suitors were there!

Alternate arrangements for the photos need to be made; there are people in the back that you can't see! T-T

unfortunately that's the way it is every month, there's just no way to get everyone perfectly visible short of getting risers, which isn't a feasible option. we've tried everything! we've found this is the best location for the photo inside the alley, and adding the ladder for the photographer and the tape on the floor really does help, but it's just a limited space problem :\

*nod* The meet is just too popular! Is there a way that it could be done outside for the suiters, provided the weather is fair? *wishes there were a way to organize it better* It's jsut a shame, so many tall people in that first "standing" row.

the flash isn't bright enough to reach everyone when it's dark out :(

we try to get the shorties in the front and the people in the middle kneeling, but as you can see it doesn't always work--i'm sure you know from being in the photo that it's a lot of chaos, i was a culprit last month by standing and not kneeling towards the middle of the crowd. i really wish there was a better way! a huge room with a balcony, like at anthrocon! hahaha

*nod* Agreed.. I just wish people would be more understanding of the folks behind them, I see some "shorties" getting hidden by their taller counterparts. :( Not just this month... in general.

I think Furbowl has outgrown doing a single photo of all of the night's fursuiters. Lately, I noticed, for example, some fursuiters deliberately stay next to their better-half, closest friend, or circle of friends in fursuit just before and throughout the entire photo shoot*, which adds to the delay and some fursuiters being badly obscured in the photo, even when they are upfront. I wouldn't mind shoots so much if they were quick and small enough so there isn't a high risk of being obscured. Quick/smaller shoots also reduce the risk of being too hot, dehydrated, or otherwise uncomfortable.

I suggest dividing the large fursuit group in half or into smaller groups being photographed at a time. Perhaps have fursuit couples in a separate shoot to ensure they are photographed happily ever after! The bottom line: with the average fursuit photo getting only a few-hundred views per lifetime, an en-masse photo shoot is not worth the aggravation.

*I'm not insisting that fursuiters voluntarily avoid this practice. It makes sense for couples/circles of friends to be photographed together, even in one large photo shoot.

I can offer a camera with a separate, much brighter flash!

I can offer an Arc Flash!

holly cow never seen so many furrys in one pic, yet.

Heh, you should search for the AnthroCon fursuiters shot
Over 1000 suiters together in one photo.

I found me! "the Boss" is just above me. And there's Jaska down in the corner, she's so cute! Orion-J looks happy and cozy. And I love Artie's expression.

I know so many of them!
