Shot in: July, 2006

My first AX... my first anime con ever! Way bigger than I expected, yet it still retains the amateur charm that E3 doesn't have. I tried foregoing flash and upping the ISO instead (going for more natural lighting) this time. That was a mistake.

The added ISO noise and occasional slow-shutter shot was problematic, though shooting RAWs saved me somewhat. Guess I should get a real flash (and a real diffuser or something) for next time to get everything crisp and balanced.

And, of course, I wish I'd taken way more pictures. More of the good ones, more of the ones I missed entirely. As much as I enjoyed shooting what I did, it's painful thinking about what I missed. Such is the curse of the shot whore.
