( Silliness ahead! )

Gah, I really do need to make it a point to take random photos and not just cosplay/private shoot stuff. I guess my brain get's into work mode and I need to slap it out of that mode sometimes. :>

shinbios wearing a costume from Pretear.

Shot is pretty much straight off the camera. Only slight brightness adjustments were made and watermark added.

He wanted to hold fire, I got it to look like he was holding fire. :D

You can see a test shot to see the lighting set up. One of the great advantages of this type of lighting, is that it doesn't matter if there's an entire convention behind the cosplayer. You totally can't see them.

A Megan Fox/Esquire inspired shoot with the lovely Joyce.

She loved the look of that Esquire cover too but didn't have a coat. I happened to have my A|X jacket. That and a pair of stockings and boom. Sexy Sexy! :D

Enjoy the photos. :>

You've already seen the teaser or the Lydia's post about them, but man, if this isn't "high fashion" I have no idea what is. LOL

I still don't get those jeans and why anyone would make them like that, but you have to admit, both mognetcentral and ener ROCKED those pants!

LOL

Enjoy the pictures. ;-)

It's OFFICIAL! Olympus announces the Olympus E-P1. Video first look on CNet.

It may look like a compact point-and-shoot, but it's really a DSLR that uses the Micro FourThirds system, which means high quality photos using a large sensor, but in the body of your typical point and shoot. It also means you can change lenses on that baby.

The one in the picture is a 17mm/f2.8 "pancake" lens.

13 megapixels of AWESOME!

I haven't felt this excited about cameras in a long time!

I mean, I thought I was done buying cameras for a while. I'm super happy with my Canon EOS 40D. Sure sure, my next logical upgrade would be the 5D.

But this is just COOL!

Would it be come my primary shoot camera? Probably not, maybe a secondary camera or something. But it's so tiny and portable.

Still need to reserve judgement until the actual reviews and photo samples show up (here's a few on the 2nd page), but damn. I have camera lust again.

Though, that lust is tempered a bit by the price. $799.99 (with 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 lens), $899.99 (with 17mm f2.8 lens and optical viewfinder). OUCH.

Ok, I pick it up when the price drops... ;-)
