Sorry for taking so long with these. It seems that I was completely exhausted after AR ended and getting sick didn’t help matters @_@ Cosplayers in my photos; if you want copy of your picture(s) send me a message with your email and a link to 1-2 of your photos and I will have them sent to you asap!

Year two of Anime Revolution and the first event that I had a media pass for! Here’s a break down of my time there 🙂

Day One: The first day is generally supposed to be the most relaxing but sadly that wasn’t the case for me. I had to get through the day without any sleep while learning the in’s & out’s of a new softbox at the same time because of that, the quality of the photos isn’t as great as I normally achieve :s The main focus of this day was the Angelic Pretty USA Fashion Show. It was unfortunate that the stage lighting was so horrible for it =_=

Day Two: After recharging with some sleep things did get a lot easier for me. I spent all of Day Two just going to/having photoshoots and I (unfortunately) didn’t mange to cover any panels or other events plus I missed the annual Zombie Walk :/ The main focus of this day was the League of Legends photoshoot! Also special thanks to Winston Wong Photography for helping me with a shoot near the end of the day. It just showed how much more I can do if I bring along an assistant next time!

Day Three: Just wrapping up the weekend and getting some last minute pictures; pretty quiet over all. I am disappointed that I didn’t capture as large a variety of cosplays as I had hoped for :/

Next year I am hoping that they release the schedule a lot earlier, I had a horrible time managing to fit any panel or event in without cutting down on my cosplay focus -_-

Welcome to my third year attending Cos & Effect! This year was a bit different from the other years through the fact that I was asked to cover the costume contest on the second day (which you will see soon) and because it was the first year that my equipment got damaged 😦 Thankfully I had good friends who ended up saving my weekend!

And again I missed taking pictures of a LOT of great cosplays because I’m still too timid sadly..

Day 1 – Quiet and slow day over all, with the main feature being the Lolita fashion show! My flash fell at the end of the day :/

Day 2 – After what happened the day before, I wasn’t very keen on taking any pictures today. Thankfully a friend of mine was kind enough to let me borrow his flash and so I went forward with covering the costume contest with a bunch of other photographers; the results weren’t that bad 🙂

Day 3 – With sunday always being the slow day, I spent the day just hanging out and having a few photoshoots. It wasn’t a bad weekend after all 🙂

My third year taking fireworks pictures and also my first time taking them from the beach (for the UK set)! Even with a sturdy tripod and a fairly nice spot on the beach for the UK display, I don’t think my first set of pictures turned out that great. The lack of wind left the smoke hanging around too 😦

July 31st – Canada had an amazing display! Sadly I was on the beach this time as well and my lens was not wide enough capture it all 😦

August 3rd – This time I went to Burrard bridge to capture the finale. The day itself even became nicer as the sun started to set so there wasn’t much (expected) difficulty in finally being able to get a good fireworks set! Sadly Thailand had other plans for their display. A little bit into the show, there was a large build up of smoke from the fireworks and due to the lack of wind it got pretty bad.. So much so, that it became near impossible to get any good pictures -_- There’s always next year at least :/

Starting off the convention season and summer in general was the return of Anime Evolution. Since I got into photography after AE took a hiatus, this was my first time attending. To be honest, I was disappointed with the low attendance over all three days and if it hadn’t been for the fact that I had friends roaming around, I may have given up and left early :/ Maybe next year will be better…

Other than that, great job to all the cosplayers that were around and that I managed to get a picture of. All of you were fantastic 🙂 Instructions on how you can get copies of your pictures will be added after I post everything I have from all three days.

I’m not very happy with the pictures from the first day…
Day One: #1-49
Day Two: #50-114
Day Three: #115-187
