It wasn't the only place to get great shots, but it was probably the best place to get them. If it wasn't obvious yet, I really had a lot of fun using the things in this room - and so did many of the other photographer pros who showed up. I roamed the con area more after the shoot and scoped out the dealer's hall/artist alley before coming back to chill in the Le Chanticleer room.
Yes - this is despite having years of experience taking photos in the halls of Comic-Con and dealing with having as many as over 100+ cosplayers in a single group shot (and god those photos sucked.) By the way, most of the "photo shoots" I did have were more of spontaneous type things that typify my photos then having arranged time and place photo shoots the Pros use with their $1000+ photography equipment setups. I'll be honest in my own assessment that I really really suck at doing photo shoots.
Anime conji 206 how to#
The Utena shoot was fun to have, and it helps to have much more experienced photographers who know how to setup photo shoots directing the action for the most part. I got some good photos of Rosegoddess (the Tifa shown above), some random shots including a cool photo shot with a message of encouragement to our friends in Japan (shown to the left of this paragraph), as well as a awesome photoshoot with a Utena pair.
Some eventually leaked over to the room from the line to the Mochi Maid Cafe, where I had some great shoots using the Victorian-type furniture in the room, and there were a ton of mirrors throughout the hotel. I spend the first few hours of the convention hanging around the Le Chanticleer room where at first there weren't any cosplayers heading over to the room at all. I'm sure this will be something that convention staff will address in the coming years. Very first two hours of this convention was spent in a line to get my pre-registered badge - and part of that was standing in the rain before they moved the line to a more dry spot. When I first arrived at the venue, I thought that Anime Conji was going to be held at the resort's Convention Hall. (They doubled their attendance this year compared to their first year.) While the convention still was pretty much using meeting rooms and hotel rooms instead of a actual convention hall, as more people attend the convention (especially those who get hotel rooms) the more floor room the convention will eventually have. Obviously, this convention is a new fledging convention only in it's second year, but it's growing exponentially. Please PM me through or direct message on twitter.Īnime Conji was first founded last year as a Anime convention alternative to the much extremely bigger, more well-known and more expensive San Diego International Comic-Con. I will most likely not see any emails you send to me since I get more spam then a military kitchen. I'll get to talking about Photoshop later in this post - and why I posted even my own horrible mistake shots in the gallery. If you just want to see the gallery, the photobucket link is here.īefore I get started with the rest of this blog post - if you are one of the cosplayers in this blog post or in the my photobucket gallery - you are more then welcome to ask me to remove pictures from this post or the gallery, as well as ask for the original-sized photos (they're pretty big in resolution and file size, you have been warned!) if you want to do your own photoshop touch-ups. For now though, you got this blog post to check out some early preview photos as well as my thoughts and opinions on the convention and those who attended. I have taken roughly over 700 pictures over the weekend, which is a much higher volume of pictures that I was expecting to take entering the weekend - and it's going to take some amount of time to get them all up. And over the weekend, a up-and-coming anime convention called Anime Conji was held at the Town and Country hotel and resort in the Mission Valley area. As the right side bar of this blog says, I live in the San Diego, California area.
