All Comic-Con 2008 Photos are up and can be found here.

Here are some which turned out ok.

Unfortunately, not many of my photos turned out well. I had several problems this year with photography. My costume did not like the large flash (hat brim), my new camera bag (Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW) hurt my back when walking, and I was using a new flash unit, my first experience with an external flash.

AX08 taught me the necessity of an external flash.

SDCC08 taught me the necessity of a gray card, bokai, and practice with external flash.

This especially bothers me since this year I formed new friendships with people I enjoy being with who’ll be disappointed with the snapshot quality images I produced. I also had a photo shoot which turned out poorly due to color balance and lack of bokai.

Well, enough Emo. I had a great time at Comic Con. The masquerade was fun, lines were short, and I met some fun people. I cosplayed Pip as I got the parts in the mail. I started out just the buttons on Sunday then received everything else during the week of the con with the hat being the final piece to my incomplete costume.

We steam stretched the hat to fit my head; I cut a scarf on the way to the con and stayed up to 3AM two nights styling the wig. Fun stuff. ^_^
