Hi,

Nice portraits, but I feel for cosplay events, it is better to take pix of the entire outfit of the cosplayer, so as to appreciate the hard work put into their costumes. Just my opinion.

p.s BTW were you the guy using the 300mm f2.8 and 1 series?

Hello Garion, yup indeed i thought of using a wider angle to get the whole outfit in the photo. But didnt bring any wide angle lens. Tried going up the spiral to take but dun think can get any eye contact. Ended up having portrait shots.

Yup i was using the 300mm. Hope to know who you r next time. Cheers.
