nenya Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 i wonder how the celebs did, some were in the brightest part and props had no problem but some of them we found we're in the not so bright bit!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BN7 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 It was definitely too dark in there today. I had to squint to see, and couldn't make out the details on a lot of the things on the stalls. Some stalls had even brought their own lighting in the hope of letting potential customers see what they had to offer. It's been a long time since I've been to Earls Court, and whatever memories I have I didn't expect it to look like a poorly lit basement today.

tiggerific Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 My photos wothout the flash came out ok but my issue was around the stalls, particularly those in the middle area, im nt being funny but you could barely see where you were walking in places, thats got to be some sort of health and safety issue.........

philmerv Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I thought Showmasters said this event would be brighter than over in Earl's Court 2 very very dark will have to invest in a better camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess83 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) It was ridiculously dark. I was shocked that the lighting was even worse than LFCC last year. I could hardly see anything on the stalls and I have very good eyesight. Crazy! Edited September 2, 2007 by Princess83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac_Scott Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Not much to add really, apart from it was definitely more darker than last year. Was Earls Court 1 meant to be that dark, or was some maintenance work going on this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Parkers-Girl Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 dingy basement is a good way top describe it! I was falling to sleep. It was very humid and I got headache from walking from the Dark parts to the lighter parts. I was BAD! really bad! never known anything like it. I was looking for a good 'merry'pic to have signed and it was hard to see what pics i was looking at. Although my friend heard Andrea on the phone and we think it was to Earls court asking for more lights. This was at about 11am on Saturday. She was saying that she'd never had so many complaints over anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sami_x Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 it was dark at first but i sort of got used to it... funny though because my digi cam took brilliant photos without the flash...and when the flash was on it looked like it wasnt needed .... strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idrillia Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Another vote for being way too dark here. I'm only just kind of getting into this convention thing and today's was not a great experience from that angle. It was just unpleasant looking at the stalls in the, if I may quote, "dingy basement*. It felt kind of seedy. Most other aspects were great but the lighting was unfortunate. Edited September 2, 2007 by Idrillia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyleaDude Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I took some carrots with me...unfortunately it was too dark to find them in my bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jael001 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) I usually spend a fair bit of money at the events on merchandise etc, but this time I only bought 1 thing yesterday, the Supernatural Season 2 boxset (which isnt out till the 10th Sept ). I didnt look around any stalls today and very few yesterday. I really couldn't be bothered since it was so dark and dingy and you couldnt see very well what was on offer. I will say though, despite the darkness and the heat, I still had a wonderful time this weekend. I was one of the lucky ones who had a Gold Pass and it was worth every penny paid to not have to wait for hours for my number to come up and to be able to start at the front of the queue for the photo sessions (especially since I had 4 of them today).

thewizzuk Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 It really was way way too dark!!! I was hoping one of the stalls was going to start selling miners helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crippsy_99 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Yep was very dark indeed! My cameras (proper and phone) took great pics of anything about 2ft in front of you, but anything else was dark, and the background pretty much black with the flash! Turning the flash off though I found produced brighter images, but in turn were more blurry without the flash helping the auto focus. Not checked my camera yet, but when I went to see Nana Visitor and had a posed photo with her, she mentioned that they'd discovered over that side a particular position to stand for the best lighting. Will have to see how well it did! Edit at half 12: Have checked my camera..total waste of time! Only one posed photo came out light and clear and that was Nana's, pretty much everything else from inside the venue is too dark or blurred.

Floorplay Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 This was my first time going to a convention and I didn't expect it to be so dark. It should've at least been bright enough so that camera flashes were unnecessary. I turned my flash off to get some long distance continuous shots but they mostly came out blurry. And, I had red eye for the posed shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
