Ok I’ve finally recovered enough from AnimeNEXT 2009. \u00a0Its the first con I’ve actually been to on a Friday.\u00a0 The morning really sucked as the con is hard to get to without a car.\u00a0 Compound that with the trains not working correctly.\u00a0 Not a good start from getting to the new location for AnimeNEXT.<\/p>\n

For a first time I planned on bringing two cameras bodies so I wouldn’t have to change out lenses as its outdoors and had a bit of space to work with.\u00a0 But that plan was dashed as while getting my equipment ready I suffered a casualty.<\/p>\n

\"Filter<\/a>Filter SMASH!<\/p>\n

The lens was rendered useless as I couldn’t get the smashed glass off. \u00a0I did however get it off when I got home by learning filter cutting 101 rather quickly. \u00a0I thought the lens survived as it focused while I was at the con. \u00a0But until I got all the glass out and tried it at a different focal length and heard the gears grind in pain.<\/p>\n

\"Mangles<\/a>Mangled Filter<\/p>\n

Other that that the weekend was pretty fun. \u00a0 I ran into bunch of people and met a few new people. \u00a0I took the time to play with the Lensbaby Composer lens again.<\/p>\n

A few costumes\u00a0 were really fun.\u00a0 I really liked the one of Taokaka from BlazBlue.\u00a0 The glowing eyes with a slow shutter speed just made for some funky effects.<\/p>\n

Saturday part of the day was gone as I help run a panel with C.R.A.Z.Y.O.T.A.K.U. <\/a> I took a couple quickshots there in the beginning. \u00a0Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>On Sunday I lined up for Cosplay Chess. \u00a0 You can either go through a few hundred pictures via the website or download them all in one shot with the link below.<\/p>\n

After cosplay chess not too much was planned but I ran into a few Steampunk<\/a> cosplayers before getting ready to get to a train.<\/p>\n

And to see everything.<\/p>\n

Other than photos I didn’t get much chance to cover any other panels as the panel I was part of took about 5 hours out of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
