topangacanyon Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi David, do you know when press info will be emailed out? I spoke to a woman from Showmasters today via phone, who said that apparently press packs will be sent out today and tomorrow (Tues).... I haven't received mine yet either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belanna Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hi! What happens if my photoshoot numerb is called and I either don't realize it or I'm in a panel? do I lose the opportunity or is like the autograph (I can join in whenever after they called the vt number?)

As long as the queue is still going and the guest is still there then you can join the queue if up to your number has been shouted but try not to be late because the shoots can be fast sometimes and you might miss your shoot.

Belanna Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 but we're going to have a time table that says when the photoshoot session starts and ends right? just so I know that in that time limit I have to be careful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasari Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Random advice question! My wife has decided she wants a photo with Lena (typically after the store closed, even though I asked when she went on sale!) but anyway, we're leaving around 4pm Saturday. Do you guys reckon if she buys a photo on the day (I know need timetable first, I reckon it'll appear today) she'll get into the "first" photo shoot? Never bought on the day before, it's a new experience for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted July 2, 2013 Showmasters Admin Share Posted July 2, 2013 No one can really answer that. We don't know how many ticket have been sold online already or how many will be sold before you get one. You might be ticket 300 you might be 560, we honestly have no way of knowing. If you HAVE to leave before the second one, please talk to the crew in the photo shoot and they will do what they can to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasari Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Excellent, thanks Too Tall. I reckon considering Lena's popularity she's out of luck, but we shall endeavour for her (and she knows better for next time!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liessa Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I agree with you on that one. I just need to explain it xD..wish me luck... Just use your phone and get it printed for him. That way you only need to pay for one print, and you don't have to bring a disposable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan109b Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hi! I have purchased a Gold Pass and so will need to pick up a wrist-band on the day. The only thing is, the pass was paid for using my Brothers Debit Card, not my own. Obviously, we have the same surname, but is this going to present a problem, and I am attending but my brother is not? Can you advise me?! Thanks!

The order was in your name and you only used your brother's card? Then it's no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harriet16 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 just a quick question... how busy do you reckon it will be on the Friday? im hoping for it to be reasonably quite so hopefully get to spend a little more time with the guests when getting autographs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methos Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 random question here, but Rockstar6662 noted that there will be places and times when flash will not be allowed in the main hall... does anyone have any clarification on that please? There isn't really anywhere outside Earls Court for cosplay photography really, and with the absolutely hideous inside lighting, most DSLR's will be stretched to function properly inside without flash... I can understand it around the guest tables, but will flash (obviously with a diffuser) be allowed elsewhere in the hall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod0509 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Is the lighting really that bad in the hall? I am not an expert DSLR user but I would be amazed if the camera could not sort that out. I will have a play with the AWB when I am inside but what sort of lights are they using to create such bad lighting conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methos Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hall 2 in February this year... so unless they've changed the lighting severely, this is what we're limited to. Didn't take that shot personally, i'll be heading up with full camera gear to get some shots... so hopefully F/1.2 lens might do better in reducing my ISO to a manageable level, but having a flash would make it a hell of a lot nicer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod0509 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hummm I see what you mean. I better read up on fiddling with my camera and the white balance. I know I should have bought a white card for setting the white balance. Oh well. If not I will claim that the yellowish look is what I was going for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methos Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 yeah, i've got a white card for balance already, but it's the 'lack of light' that worries me... without boosting up ISO, people will be reduced to having slow shutter speeds to compensate for the lack of light, leading to blurred photos... and a lot of very unhappy photographers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time it was at EC2 I had my Nikon D60 with a 50mm f1.8 lens and a slower zoom. That wasn't bad in terms of getting decent shots but did have to crank the ISO up to 1600 at times. It relatively dark in there. I admit it's not a high-end SLR and the AWB really struggled to compensate as the lighting doesn't seem to be a "standard" temperature and even trying to manually set it didn't seem to go too well. Prob did it wrong. It's somewhere near tungsten but not quite. Easier to correct if you shoot in RAW though. I personally don't bother to take my flash or use the one on the camera. There are often signs up around guests asking for no flash photography even if taking pictures is ok and I know I wouldn't like lots of flashes going off at me throughout the day so I don't bother. It is allowed in talks for the first few mins but then there's a no flash rule for the rest of the talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand it around the guest tables, but will flash (obviously with a diffuser) be allowed elsewhere in the hall? The no-flash is only for certain guests. They can have cards up with no photography or no flash photography. The rest of the hall is fine for flash-photography though, so grab those csplayers for a picture and flash away!

methos Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 yay, good news... thanks Liessa... I do have a heavy diffuser for my flashgun, as i don't want to disturb anyone with my photos... but being allowed to use it is great news Rockstar6662, i'll be taking my 5D Mk3 and a 1.2 lens, so hopefully combined with a heavy flash diffuser, i should be good for everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
