Convention Photography - Thank you!
14 years ago
Certifiable Mad Scientist: I have a Death Ray, and I know how to Use It.
After going over all the images I had taken from Further Confusion 2012 I decided to upload my top selection of my best pics to here. One was to see if I could figure out who was who, and the other because I am somewhat happy with some of those pictures.
At the convention I was equipped with my stock Nikon D60 with its piddly little starter lens, an iPhone 4S (which I used to make calls mostly) and while my iPhone was doing its projector job, I was reduced to my iPad (which has a less cool camera but at least it works). Oddly enough, pictures from all 3 devices made it into my favorites pile, which proves that composition has little to do with hardware, and sometimes a spur of the moment shot really comes out great. Still, the Nikon's raw footage pretty much trumps everything else :)
A great number of names have been named at one of the largest explosions of comments and favs I have ever had! I would like to thank everyone who not only stopped by to look at random pictures of furries in photo form, but who also commented, provided names and links, or left a favorite to give me that warm fuzzy feeling of "Gosh darn it, someone enjoys the photograph I made."
Over the next few weeks I'll be finishing the post production of the rest of the images and probably doing a speed upload to my Facebook or something. Then... I need to remember how to draw and doodle more.
As for photography? I already have two things on my wish list that are rather important:
Nikon Speedlight 700 for the D60
Camera Strap
Seriously though? I need a strap. The one I'm using digs into my neck and does no load distribution, so I couldn't be all hip with my camera at the convention 90% of the time, or it would have sawed my head off!
But yes, a better flash. Preferably one with a "Illumation of the mighty Sun God" that can vaporize people that run in front of me while I'm framing a shot. Biggest annoyance while taking photos ever. Anyway, time to run off to be a worker drone, yay!
