Time Alter - Double Accel (Daylong ver.)

Rate this Entry
I'm a big fan of cheapass thrift stores because they have tons of clothes to buy. I went and got plenty of cosplay things for about $30 total.

What I'm not a fan of, though, is when a once-great camera mysteriously becomes crap and takes low-res, way too bright photos. What happened to you, man? You used to be awesome. Now you're just disappointing, and I don't even want to deal with you anymore. Hopefully you prevail at the convention. If I bring you.







Why is it so bright!? Goddamn flash and lighting and shit. :|

Also, a little teaser~

    You silly people.

    And yes, Spin, I'm sexy, ja. My hair is washed with only the best.

    It's because the camera looks to be a point and shoot and it's dusk outside. They're not really designed well for that. For the best results, force the flash off and make sure the camera is steady or on a tripod when the picture is taken. The shutter speed will be very slow and it'll be blurry if there's even the slightest of movements.

    It should do better in higher light situations, though.

    This is the guy I played Day Z with?

    Holy hell your manly.

    I bow to it.

    I'm pretty sure the camera's supposed to be decent. Or, at least, it was when I last used it. For reference (though the light is different), here's a picture that I took two years ago with it:

    But now, when it used to do 1200 x 600 shots and such, it's just 640 x 480, and I'm not sure why.

    ^ Let's play some DayZ soon, my son. You can bow to the manliness of my AK-74.

    That's actually about right. The example pic you showed has enough light for it to operate correctly. In low light, it's going to do exactly as you pictured unless you force the flash off. It's not a bad camera, it's just the way they work in low light. As for the resolution, if you go into the menu, there should be a quality (Or something similar) option where you can change the resolution.

    Also, that's a pretty badass costume. Thrift Store cosplay wins again!

    Thanks, RB! I'll have to check that out, too. I know, at least, that there will be better lighting at the convention.

    Also, the Thompson Contender and cigarette pack will probably be done sometime this weekend. My friend and I started on the Contender today, but tomorrow we'll get to finishing it. The picture up there is of it in its unfinished, current state.

    (Funny thing, the long coat was actually found in the women's clothing section, lol)

    I'm going to Anime Revolution, in Vancouver. Just a week until it happens, too. Naturally, I'll be taking plenty of pictures. I'm pretty sure I'll be recognized, and I'll even go in this costume to get an autograph from Jouji Nakata!

    I hate to say it... but it had to be done. HAD to be. The voices in my head made me do it, Five. I'm so sorry. ♥

    Yeah, you can tell it's a woman's coat from the side the buttons are on.

    DP: hahahahahahahaha!

    A shame you chose to cosplay as the worst character in the series. ;_;

    Hey, the look suits.

    Silly DP.

    I'll try to take more pictures today, maybe. Quality should be better, and maybe I'll have some props made to screw around with.

    Careful you don't forget to turn your swag off, Fivers. XD

    Also maybe hem the bottom a bit.. It should be knee-height.

    And undo your lower vest button.

    The picture you've got there is a bit off. I used a mix of concept arts, anime screencaps and official art for this, and in those there are a few differences: namely, the coat goes down to ankle height, there's more of Kerry's chest showing, and also the pistol (as in real life) has a thickness of roughly two times the width of the barrel, whereas in that less-detailed figure the pistol is three barrels in width.
