Erm, you do mean Anime Festival Asia right? haha ^^,

I was there too, both days!

Pic 1) If you shoot in raw, you can change the photo's Temperature in Photoshop Camera Raw. And while you're taking your picture, you have to set your white balance to about Tungsten. One more thing. You can use Flash even if there's glass, but remember to shoot it at an angle so that reflected light will not go back into the lens.

Pic 2)The cosplayers are dark because the light is coming from the back (Window). two ways to solve this. Either use a Flash to fill in, or set your metering mode to spot and meter their skin.

Pic 3) lol @ expression, cool!

Pic 4) Asumi!!! lol, she's really nice. Costume is actually done by Sakurazaki (a member in our NP's own JTC Cosplay division)

Pic 5) heh, ofcourse give plastic peach to judge..the judge probably is Kaname, a very popular Japanese cosplayer. Nice take, she's cute.

Pic 1: ah i see, so we must angle properly in order to shoot this picture la... thanks! will try that out in the future.

Pic 2: If i meter the skin the background will be suffers over exposure and not nice... i guess flash is the best but my battery for SB400 ran out that day

Pic 3: got many photo of both of them, but this is the nicest one la... thanks for the compliments!

Pic 4: this girl name is Asumi? or the character name is asumi? We got a cosplay club in NP? who is Sakurazaki.

Pic 5: Yup, Judge is Kaname. He also very cool... he got many hug from the cosplayer!! hmm, i want to be judge too in the future.

Its not a matter of anger properly, its a matter of the camera white balance metering, this is because the camera got 'FOOLED' which is why people shoot in raw so that they can SALVAGE the pic if theres a need be:)

Hehe...

After seeing Zee's photo, i had the urge to share another 2 of my photo & bring out my point again that Singapore should not bag away 2 prizes... Next year, no other country want to join this contest anymore!


One of the many hugs that the judge get that day...


They should have gotten the best costume award... why give 2 award to Singapore team? *SigH*
