I wanted to go to this, but I didn't have any money. I flew in for EDC and swang by expo last year.

Hey, I think I know the person that was cosplaying Sailor Mars... I think I'll ask her later.

Great pics!

Nice Misfits patch on the first girl. I like them cause they're so far out. Being a fan of the goth look, also, some of them are kind of hotties. Did you just ask them to pose? Cause I am always afraid just going up to people will get me escorted out of a place by security...

I don't know anything about anime, except for that Inuyasha was always on right after I was done watching Aqua Teen on Adult Swim (that was a few years ago, though). I could never keep track of what was going on, though it looked interesting.

There was one called Trigun that looked kind of neat.

yeah, I just walk around asking them if I can take a picture. Most of them already have poses and will automatically do them. It's really fun. :lol:

Great shots. This exactly what im hoping to do at comicon in SD. Hey man let me ask you. What lighting are u using. I mean is it or off camera flash? Did you use a flash bracket or just a flash cable? thx

the changoman · Jul 10, 2008

I used whats called a lightsphere on my flash.. and pointed it upward.

make sure to use manual mode.. you can get better results with it wide open and like around 1/60 exposure .. mess around with it. The low yellowie funky light is a challenge to work with. I would practice at home with some dim lamps and try to get a good exposure of a plant or something.
