FDIC 2013 - From the show floor

[Roto-Ray]

I gave up trying to get shots on the floor..too crowded..other than early or special access did you take these on a certain time or day when the floor is empty??

Although one of the vendors that helps behind the scenes with my VAFireNews.com website did float me an exhibitor's pass, virtually every one of the photos you see here were taken during regular show hours.  They were all taken on Thursday and Friday - although Saturday would have been a far better day for photos, as it was far less crowded.  Alas, I didn't know it ahead of time, and I wasn't up to the half-mile walk to go get my camera from the car.

 

Like Travis, I would patiently wait for people to pass in the aisleways, ask stagglers to move (some of which wouldn't), and shut the cab doors when necessary.  Sometimes I'd wait 5-6 minutes standing in one spot to get the photo I wanted.

 

More photos to come shortly...
