It is very interesting not just pose them to get the best angle and composition etc. but to get them to act their parts. This set is from Anime LA, end of Jan 2005. I am actually not done putting up all the pictures yet. The full link is here http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3046 Again, there are a lot of similar photos. Remember my goal is to have some of these people buying prints so having more pictures helps. The rest would be up next day or so. For those who don't want to slog thru zillions of pictures, here are some of my favorites: Funny as heck - a most femmy looking female cosplaying Armstrong, a strong man in the Full Metal Alchemist series: http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3733 The details on the head piece is quite amazing: http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3773 Yes, they are all girls although two are playing male characters: http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3629 The character is crazy and homicidal. http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3639 Eat my reverse blade! http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3646 I love taking pictures of people in love: http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3669 And if you read this far, let me say that after taking close to 2000 pictures on the R-D1 already, using the R-D1 really is not significantly faster in putting web pics up or anything. The major advantage is that I can print on site and make a few clams. There is also a point when using the Studio flash (and putting the camera in manual mode) that I accidentally changed the aperture. If I was shooting film, I would have lost a good number of pictures. As is, I only lost about 6 before I checked the LCD and realized the problem. // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
