Sydney Royal Botanical Gardens

Went to a doll meet at the Royal Botanical Gardens yesterday ^^

The sky was clear and blue, and it wasn’t as hot as it could have been. Unfortunaly though I discovered I can’t see my camera’s screen in bright daylight. The screen goes really dark and the surface is so reflective, I had a hard time seeing if my photos were blurry or correctly exposed @_@;

Thankfully most of my photos turned out alright. I see what people talk about now when they say this lens’ bokeh is a pentagon. Before when I take closeups the shape never shows up, so I guess for things far awar that aren’t focused it turns into this shape.

Carillon and Arietta new faceups

Changed Carillon and Arietta’s faceups X3

I’m pretty happy with Carillon’s faceup <3. But I need to buy her some eyes, she's stolen some 16mms but they leave a gap.

Arietta on the other hand kind of looks weird ;3;
I think I will redo it later with darker eyelashes…

I tried swapping the eyes and wigs of Carillon and Suiren yesterday…Oh my, Suiren looks so cute like this *///*!! Why did I never buy SD pink wigs even though I’ve got so many in MSD size? And somehow giving Carillon smaller eyes makes her not look as young.

I also found out that for most of my Leeke wigs, the fringe is too long for Carillon. What is up with that orz

Animania Competitions

I mentioned there were some competitions from Animania in my last post, but actually I won the photo competition ^^

This was the entry that won:

The theme was glass this year. It was taken in front of a stained glass window.

My other entry had glass chess in it:

There was also a masquerade competition which I made masks for. They were alot of fun to make but had a hard time staying on the face since they were flat ^^;

Animania 2010

Attended Animania this weekend ^^. Animania is another manga and anime convention in Sydney.


Dolls (click for more photos)

This year there was a makeshift lightbox next to the doll table, which is where the above photo was taken =3. Makeshift because it was pretty much made out of cardboard and paper. But as you can see the results look quite nice~

There was also a photo competition and masquerade competition, which I’ll update my journal for later!


Cosplay (click for more photos)

And a bit of cosplay photos. The venue was the Australian Technology Park. The inside doesn’t look as nice as Town Hall, however the lighting turned out suprisingly well. Unfortunately I didn’t get many photos cause of attending panels.
