Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s

Fate Testarossa

Ah~ The second last photo shoot from Manifest 2007, the other being Pachira. I know I know, I’m slower than a sloth on sleeping pills climbing up a steep slippery slope.

Anyway, I’ll try to get up to date with my photos during this month, as I’ll be pretty busy once I go back to Uni >.<
Next photo shoot will be Pachira, before moving onto Tsukino~

I won’t keep you waiting, Fate awaits~!

Location

This was between the old Arts Building where Saber/Irisviel were and the quad area where Princess/Pachira were. There were a few people who walked by but generally it wasn’t too busy, mostly people for the Manifest festivities.

Setup

No mini-tripod, which could of helped quite a bit. I noticed quite a bit of blurring with most of the pictures and had to dump them. In the sun it was ok, but it was a pretty harsh sun. The shaded areas were decent but that’s where the blurring was at it’s worse. Excuse the crappy photography with this photo shoot ^^;

Figure

Now this figure isn’t actually mine, it belongs to the friend of mine who managed to get the Yuki Dollfie for me. Moé Bless his Soul. So, while he’s in Japan, he entrusted some of his figures to me, and I thoguht it’d be the perfect opportunity to take photos of them.
As most of you already know, this Fate is excellent, nuff said.

Thoughts

Mini-tripod, never leave home without it…
I’m not so happy about this photo shoot but oh well, Fate’s ass makes it up *stare*
I’ve notice that this is prolly the only photo shoot that has more than a few “pantsu” shots.

Summary

I’d buy myself one of these figures but I don’t have the space…her box is larger than my Xbox360′s box @_@; Hell, it’s larger than my Dollfie’s box!
Any Fate fan should have this figure, and if they don’t, go and order one, there’s a restock happening soon~

Upcoming Stuff!

OTL Sorry guys about the lack of updates, been busy yadda yadda~ Point is, I got a whole bunch of stuff to show you guys soon, and just in time for the xmas holiday :D Wanna know what’s going to happen? Read on!

Basically what I have lined up are the photos that I’ve still to post, some other nifty items of otaku interest from soundtracks to video games, and I’ll be starting the simple weathering tutorial for newbies as well! The current poll seems to indicate that the Soviet T-34 is in the lead at the time of this writing, which is great as I got lots of them…living up to their name of the most numerous tank in WWII. The poll will be open to the moment I start, which may be into late November, or early December.

Here’s some previews of the photo shoots I’ve still to post, in no particular order:

For those interested, I’ve been busy with final assignments with my study for the year, also I’ve been sucked into the grinding world of Lineage 2 again, along with games occupying me on PC, Xbox360 and PS2. I’ve gotten into the interview stage of my studies for next year so hopefully they’ll turn out well, otherwise it’s job hunting for me! :D
