So... Again, it has been a little while since my last post. There is a legit reason this time though. After getting the new job at a hardware store, which is less than pleasant, I have not been able to touch my cameras as much as I would like. Therefore, knowing that Fanime Con '11 was coming up, I decided to spend much time prepping for the event.
This included:
- Cleaning the cameras, four in total.
- Cleaning the lenses, three in total.
- Charging batteries.... Too many, but never seems to be enough....
- Reorganizing my camera bags/backpack, again 4 in total, but really just two that I use.
- Purchasing new equipment, radio flash triggers, Yong Nuo to be precise. (not used in this set of photos)
- Purchasing a new 110 centimeter reflector.
- Prepping the flashes, two - 580EX's and a 430EX
- Getting people to come and help out with the shoot. <---- seriously the hardest thing!
There were some other things that I did too, but that is the main gist of things. Fanime 2011 was awesome, although a little smaller than I remembered it to be. That could be because of Comiket being the last convention I've been too though.... Oh, well... On with the shoot info.
When my assistant/slave/sister and I arrived we were looking around to see the cosplayers that struck us the most, and my sister, "Lynn", was immediately drawn to this Alice looking girl. Lynn, not knowing what Vocaloids were, asked who she was cosplaying. The title of this post really named it, but she was cosplaying: Yamaha's Hatsune Miku!
This was the first shoot that I did, in quite some time, and no strobes were used for this shoot. Just a reflector, two camera bodies, and a very cute model! Photo was taken at San Jose Convention Centre, in San Jose, CA.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks again!
