As you may have noticed, I'm quite geeky and I go to a lot of conventions around the North East. I usually take my camera to these events, but as I am a "lazy perfectionist", I usually don't use it as I prefer to just talk to people and have a wander around the stalls. And when I do use it, I'm usually really critical of what I do and rarely use any of the photos that I take.
But when I went to King-Con last month, I thought I'd take my camera and have a go.
King-Con is a weekend convention at The Stadium of Light. I only went on the Saturday and I only ended up taking about 50 photos but I really enjoyed the event and I was actually happy with the photos I took. So I thought I'd post a few of my favourites here.
I took them with a Nikon D610 and a SB-700 speed-light, fired off camera by a TTL cable and attached to a miniature soft-box. I set my camera to 1/125 shutter speed, f/8 aperture and 200 ISO. This is my preferred setup for indoor events like this and I think it works quite well.
I'm quite happy these photos especially as I usually prefer just to talk to people at events and plan private shoots at a later date.
But what do you guys think? What do you think of these and do you think I should try to shoot more at conventions or should I just focus on proper shoots?
Let me know.
