RL, great photography, as usual - and thank you very much for documenting this event (and many others) so well for those of us who couldn't make it out!
I'm a tiny bit surprised by the price-point as well. I guessed $1750-2000, but there's more slide work done than I originally thought, and those Red Tower boys sure do put out a beautiful product, so it seems justified.
I hope to see more things like this out of FOC - they're really leading the industry in events of this nature, and they're well situated to hit a large and very public portion of the shooting community, being so proximate to Toronto.
