2007's been over for a while, Katie.

I've thought about summarizing, but heck I don't feel like it. I do need to make a 2007 post so that I can look back on it though- I think for that I'll just do a photo dump. I'm excluding personal photos, like most of my stuff of Kelly and Aidan because I don't think those belong on the internet- so this is really just a random bunch of photos

Seconding kasaiface, I love a lot of these ♥

[sarielchan]

Thanks :) I'm loving the photos you've been posting on your lj lately! Know what you mean about the expensive hobby bit. u_u

[lockhart]

Haha, thanks. ♥ I'm slowly trying to actually work on improving my photography so I'll probably start taking pics a lot more. The only saving grace for expenses is my next internship will be paying nearly twice the old one. ... still too expensive though DX I need to find someone who works in Canon, haha. Or maybe apply for an internship there myself?! :B

Will you be coming to AB by any chance?

[sarielchan]

Mmm, gotta say if I didn't already have Canon things I'd probably switch over to Nikon... >_>' But I'm stuck now!

Yep! Kelly and I will probably be stopping by AB for a while- we're bringing Aidan and I have no idea how much time we'll actually be spending at the con as a result. :) Hopefully we get to see you though! Are you going to be cosplaying at AB or taking pictures?

[lockhart]

Haha, I'm too much in love with Canon to ever change to Nikon I think. That and I always get confused whenever I get handed a Nikon (WHERE'S THE ON/OFF SWITCH-- oh.) D: Why the change though? Is it cause Canon lenses never come with the extra stuff?

Ahhhh CUTE ! :3 Hope I see you guys there :D I'll be there Friday and Saturday... both cosplaying and taking photos. I've only got one shoot planned at the moment, and only know of a few friends going, so I don't know how much I'll be taking pri. shoot pics.

[sarielchan]

Well, extra stuff is pretty cool- but no, it's because know too many people who use Nikon, and I secretly think that Nikons have better colors and take sharper pictures- which is probably complete nonsense (okay, not the sharpness bit, that's true) but I think I'll be stuck as a Canon user for quite a while. ^__^ I just need to learn to take better photos is all.

Sounds awesome! What are you going to be cosplaying? I gotta know who to look out for other than someone-who-looks-like-Tif-hiding-behind-a-camera. :3

[lockhart]

Ohh, I see. I haven't compared them too much, but I do remember my friend saying they had different colors. I think he liked Canon colors more though. :B Does the sharpness include the internal settings? You can change the paramaters to have increased sharpness, contrast, etc-- I haven't really tested those too much though.

I'll be doing a few costumes, probably. Friday morning I should be that blonde chick from No More Heroes (basically a slutty looking secretary, lulz-- blame mai waifu >>;), Friday late afternoon is Mulan (lulz blame them again ;__;) and Saturday I'm supposed to be doing a Final Fantasy XII dress (not one of the popular ones) -- but I'll be blonde, assuming that goes through. Assuming they all go through. Who knows though, I have horrible luck.

I'm guessing you guys won't be cosplaying?

[sarielchan]

Nah, it's something you can't change in the settings- Canons have a built in anti-aliasing chip I guess which smooths pictures a bit automatically. I'm not sure how noticeable it is, I haven't done much comparing either. I kind of figured I'm stuck with Canon so I'd rather not see what I can't have. ^__^

Ha ha ha, that sounds great! I will look out for you then. I don't know what Kelly and I are doing costume-wise. We might just re-wear something unless we have a bit of free time between now and then, then we might whip something up. I'm not really sure at the moment. ^^'

[lockhart]

Ahh I see. Haha, I should probably be reading up more into cameras -___- Too busy with school junk + processing pics though. D: What equipment do you have anyway, if you don't mind me asking?

That sounds cool, let me know if you do :3 I wanna steal you guys for a few pics if you have time, haha.

[sarielchan]

Okay! Sounds excellent. :) Recently I've been using: Canon 20d, Canon 60mm f/2.8 Macro, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, crappy kit lens (which is crap), then my lights, filters, gels, modifiers, etc. I'm really content with my setup, but I could go for a nice zoom lens.
