I am impressed. I know that took a LOT of work and dedication. Good show.


And I usually puke at cosplay...

Very nice piece of kit there donnamevans.

This is what I made several years ago and it's all authentic materials, wool, metal and linen.

I have had commissions for several outfits based on the Thief universe in my spare time (historical researcher and seamstress). Even made a few banners.

Briareos' advice isn't necessarily wrong, but it sounds like he's talking about the characteristics of fairly un-buff compact cameras. Finding better equipment might not be too hard these days as semi pro DSLR gear is becoming more common. One of those with a nice fast lens would make the whole exercise much easier.
(https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/WLe1RMocWBpLBSOnsEscRw?feat=directlink) This, for example, was shot late at night near my house on a Canon 60D, handheld with an unstabilised f 1.8 lens at 1/30th shutter speed, 1600 ISO (possible photo-babble there). Word is the similar Nikons are even lower noise at high ISO. With some care, a tripod and longer exposures, using even less light is quite do-able these days (Somewhat more hardcore: the Canon 5DII shooting (http://vimeo.com/6602274) video with three candle power).

So I'd say ask around a bit. A lot of vaguely keen hobbyists can do this sort of stuff now (suddenly I wish I was back in the West End of London in those alleys with the working gas lamps)

Great stuff by the way.
