Now anyone who knows me or who’s been visiting my site for any length of time knows that I don’t really consider myself much of a photographer, much less even using the term “photographer” to describe myself. I was never formally taught, nor do I put in a tremendous amount of time practicing and trying to improve myself. I like to read about photography, and try to absorb knowledge that I try to apply to my approach with taking pictures, but that’s really the extent of how much effort I put into.
I just want my camera to do all the work for me, and spit out results that I am expecting to get!
Anyway the point of bringing that up is the mythical girlfriend asked me to take some pictures of her and her friend during Dragon*Con, wearing Ahri and Caitlyn from League of Legends, so that they could have some reliable photographs, since if anything, I’m good at sharing the pictures I take, reliably.
Honestly, these might the best pictures I’ve ever taken. Seriously. I’m not just saying it because it’s my girlfriend, but it’s because I think these really might be the best pictures that I’ve ever taken. Most all of the shots were turning out how I had hoped they would look, and they took to processing like dreams. For like the first time, I feel like I was getting the results I was hoping for, and as someone who is his own worst critic, even I had to stop and occasionally be satisfied at just how pleased I felt with these pictures.
Solo shots at first, but then some thematic photos succinctly describing Early Game Caitlyn and Late Game Ahri before some obligatory group shots of two truly lovely gals.
