Last Weekend I visited the biggest Geek Bonanza in the World, Comic Con 2007. What better chance to pull out that camera and get snapping.

You can see the results of me going a bit nuts in my new Gallery: Faces of Comic Con 2007. No the picture to the left really isn't that representative, but its one that I don't mind showing on the front page.

Incidently its also one of the two pictures of that Gallery that I shot with my new Canon S3 IS camera. All other pictures were taken with my Canon 20D. I wish I had taken my 50mm prime with me, since the lighting was so bad that some pictures were blurry even at ISO1600, which resulted in a lot of unusable images. The prime would have allowed me to shoot wide open (aperture) and maybe save some pictures.

Obviously using the flash was not desirable, as I often waited in a spot (a scene with a message) for the right person to show up (who fit the scene).

Nevertheless I got some pretty nice material. This event certainly gave me a lot to work with.

Around half of the pictures were taken in the conference halls and the others were taken in the streets of downtown that were flooded with people.

As you might expect, there were a whole lot of people with full body costumes, but I wasn't too interested in those photos, as I wanted to convey emotions and faces.

Anyways, check out the Comic Con Photo Gallery.
