June 18 Photoshoot Meetup

[fleur_fraise]

I'm going to go ahead and leave it, but idk if I can make it.

[luvan1me]

well you did say you could try to come late? i mean i'm sure there will be someone who can give you a ride?

[fleur_fraise]

Late isn't an option, only early.
I graduate on Friday but since I'm going to the all-night grad party my mom doesn't want me falling asleep at my own party on Saturday. I thought she told me to move it to Sunday but apparently in momspeak that means next Saturday and I just found out.
The party is in the afternoon/early evening so if anything I'd be able to go for about an hour RIGHT when she shoot starts and they never start on time anyways.

But people already got time off work and made plans and everything so I'll go ahead and leave the date. If I can make it that's cool, if not I'll live.

@fleur_fraise - if you can come to this on the 18th even for a little while, I'll be sure to get some photos of you.


Everyone: I'm going to run a photography contest at this meetup. The contest is for the best cosplay photo taken at this gathering. 1st place $30, 2nd place: $20, third place: $10. Creativity and composition will count somewhat more than image quality, so as not to give too much advantage to people who happen to own better cameras.  You must have taken the photo yourself to enter.  Photoshop an other post-processing is allowed, but the end result must basically still seem like a photo (for example, taking a photo and then drawing over it so much that it no longer looks at all like a photo would not be a valid entry). 

A condition for entry is that I may use the winning photos (with attribution) at my panel on cosplay photography at AM2 in July.

I'll be coming for sure now. I'll be bringing my roommate and my boyfriend and we will be cosplay Nino, Maria, and Recruit from Arakawa Under the Bridge.

Tom- Awesome! I wasn't really going to cosplay but maybe I'll wear my crappy little World is Mine Miku and get a few pics for the hour or so that I'm there :> I mostly want to take photos, I'm gonna enter that contest!

Nikki- I'm excited to see you!

Excellent! You can see that my favorite is now my icon hahaha. I also love this one:



This shoot has actually made me change my cosplay plans for Kumoricon, I'll be fixing up and wearing Miku!

Remember to post photo contest entries by midnight tomorrow.

@fleur_fraise: I'm glad you like those. When I looked at the pictures later I thought that you would like the one you used as your icon. I'm starting to figure out what you like in photos 

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

I posted mine on the sight :3

I was so far behind in getting up to the celebration at Kenton that I had to pass up the shoot this time. Maybe next time I can flex for the camera.
