Colorado Trip Log: Horo Compilation
This morning I noticed I was receiving hits from Isuna Hasekura's blog (author of Spice & Wolf) and the thought dawned on me, I never followed up my trip posts with any properly post-processed photos. Just there poorly and "quickly" (netbook's are never quick) processed ones from the loaner netbook I was using. So here's a compilation of all the Horo shots taken.more »
Quickie 1.339: White Asuka
Since disassembling my "studio" to bring in a couch in it's place I've wanted to take more photos of my figures. Figures. Trying to keep some semblance of creativity I messed about with Lightroom and turned this into the above photo. I like how it turned out, could probably use some more work touching up bits of it, perhaps removing the yellow tones from places I'd rather not wish them to be, but it's good enough for a bit of fun.more »
Quickie v1.337: Horo’s Hips
I wouldn't normally make a post for something like this, but since Twitpic decided to make this image vanish I figured I'd put it somewhere they couldn't do that. Perhaps it was a bit too racy, who knows. more »
Collection Update 1.247
Prior to Wonder Festival I was pondering to myself, how many items will I end up ordering this time around. With Wonder Festival done and over with I'm rather surprised at how few have actually made it onto my list of orders. I think I've managed myself quite well this time around, so far.more »
Horo by CM’s Corporation
I think I have to start by saying that I'm pleasantly surprised. I knew ahead of time this would not be a perfect Horo. Between the promoshots and the preview at Hobby Stock it was clear what I was going to receive. Then the poorly lit photos started appearing and everyone complained and cancelled their orders. But I held steady, I'd been through this a hundred times I knew what to expect, and that was not to expect much at all. I think because of my pessimism I'm able to be pleasantly surprised today.more »
Wishlist: Wonder Festival 2011 (Summer)
Wonder Festival, that time of year where we wonder which of these will actually make it into production and how long they'll actually take to get released. I'm looking at you Good Smile Company, you still haven't released Kyrie Rason damnit! Of course Wonder Festival happened July 24th but it takes time to compile such information and collect all the imagery required. Especially when you don't read a word of Japanese and require sites like Neko Magic to compile the information for you (Thanks as always GGT).more »
Houmei as seen from my desk
Did a whole bunch of cleaning today and through it ended up finding the perfect place and angle for Houmei to sit. Now, I'm a bit disappointed she's out in... more »
Flaws @ f/45
During my Houmei photoshoot I stopped down my Sigma EX 105 mm f/2.8 DG Macro lens to f/45 for a shot in an attempt to capture more focus into the frame. This often turns out to be more of a pain than I think it will be as it reveals every piece of dust that has affixed itself to my sensor. And in addition to each piece of dust, revealed also are the streak marks from the many attempts to clean the sensor.more »
