Cosfest 2012

Shane T W · 18th July 2012, 11:43 AM

2 days of much craziness was had especially since I was staying in the chalets nearby along with the crazy weather.Was pretty damn great to be back though however I did miss out on SMASH which was in Sydney not long ago.

C&C Much welcomed!

Also aware of the weird haze or distortion around Ventus's Keyblade which I already know what caused it :P

Full album here but more or less picked the ones I had an inkling for.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's an acquired taste I guess. It doesn't go to well with some of my friends.

Its a good way to meet people who are as much passionate about their hobby as they are of your hobby (taking great photos with/for them)!

Shane T W · 19th July 2012, 2:38 PM

Pretty much, but more or less I already knew those people I took photos for anyway. Just tried to get a few good shots of everyone I knew so at least they had a decent photo of themselves. Doesn't hurt to get to know a few new faces as well.

Wow, those contacts make all the difference don't they?

Awesome stuff, the shots and the cosplay.

I can't say the Cosplay does much for me, but the photography is excellent and you do have to admire people who are that far into their hobby.

Good job, I am sure the folks would be happy with their pictures.

Awesome photography, and those are some good cosplays. The work behind those armours must have been intense.
