Singapore Expo | Furu Anime Panikku

Unlike last year’s EOY where I only arrived 4pm and took a mere 7 photos, I actually spent some decent time at this year’s event, and took more photos of cosplayers too. Media passes were given out too, so I’m not complaining.

For some reason or another, most of my pictures turned out fairly decent on the camera display, but the moment I checked them on the computer, they were quite blurish and horrible. Some of those were the ones with a better angle or poses, so it was quite a disappointment. Darn, I should really invest in a external flash if I want to take decent pictures in future indoor events.

Anyway, unlike previous cosplay events where I would go trigger happy and shoot just about anything that’s in costume, I held back this time, only taking what caught my interest.

This year’s EOY was kind of a screw up for me.

First of all, I woke up at 1pm. I had orginally planned to wake up at around 9am, so that I could reach then EOY venue at around 11am-12pm. Seems like I was in such a deep slumber that even my alarm could not awake me. Oh well.

The next screwed up thing would be the camera. My mum took both the Casio and Sony digital cameras to Korea, so I was left with a crappy Fujifilm camera which uses XD cards. The camera’s package did not come with any XD card, and XD cards cost a bomb, as compared to SD cards. Not having the cash, I skipped the idea of getting an XD card, and just went direct to the event. Screw Fujifilm and their overpriced XD cards. I should sell this camera soon, and top up some cash to get a better camera.

Anyway, I went to EOY at 4pm with nothing but a camera that could only take 8 pictures. I decided I had to save the 8 shots for cosplayers who were really awesome. After paying 12 bucks for the entrance fee, I met up with Zer0 and Windbell. It was then Windbell told me that there was a really hawt Rei cosplayer with bandanges. Immediately, I decided to save all the shots I had for her.

One of the best Rei cosplays I have ever seen locally. The other was one which was equally as awesome was at Downtown East during the Cosfest 2007 finals.

Despite my crappy photography skills, and the inability to take a photo with proper background, I present to you the best cosplayer of EOY 2007.
