LVL-up Expo 2024!
My second time at LVL-up Expo was wholly different from the first! Having been to another con before hand, I knew exactly what my goal was. No longer was I watching the fighting tournament, lazing around, and mostly keeping to myself. No sir, I was DEDICATED! I approached anyone and everyone for a cosplay photo. I was mostly using the same 50mm f/1.8 canon EF lens I used with my Rebel T7 using an adapter. I also had the kit lens which wasn’t great, but hey, baby steps toward my eventual favorite lens.

Oh god where do I begin with this one? Well, to put it simply, this is where I started. After being lied to by a person who had initially invited me as part of a small group, I ended up having to attend my first LVL-expo all by my self. As you can imagine, the thought was quite stressful for someone who had social anxiety. So I thought I could take my camera and take some photos to distract myself if things get too much!. As soon as I got there with my cheap little bridge camera, I was already thinking of what I would even take a photo of. It wasn’t until I saw just how much cosplay there was that I ended up setting my mind on what I would do! Low resolution, blurry, noisy, a distinct lack of natural DoF/bokeh are the hallmarks of these handful of photos I salvaged from the absolute trash-heap I can only call my initial attempt. I doubt anyone would actually download these, but they all have a special place in my heart.
