My sister couldn’t stop cracking up every time she looked at us…
Yup.
Comic con…
So my dad and I spent about 2 hours there today, looking at the booths, enjoying the scantily clad women, and just being ourselves.
We didn’t take many pictures though. I know, I know… but it being the first day, so many people were swamped, and I just didn’t feel like harassing anyone for pictures yet.
Don’t worry though, I’ve 3 more days. Tomorrow you will see me and my nephews as Calvin and Hobbes and Stupendous man, Saturday I think I’m going to bring the Necromonger suit out of retirement, and then Sunday I’ll be going with my sister. So maybe not pictures tomorrow or Saturday, but definitely Sunday. If my nephews don’t want to stay long, I may go back by myself Friday solely to take pictures of people.
Until then, enjoy the T.A.R.D.I.S. and a Dalek (it moved… following your movements or rolled around), a huge Lego thing, several Boba Fett variants, my father by the Millennium Falcon, some Ghostbusters, and some huge robot thing that had little miniatures of dudes putting it together. I got the flash of the arc welder guy.. it was a really neat display.
I promise to stop being so timid and shy and actually get some good photographs this weekend. Seriously.
Kids passes… cute.
Angry Bird Avengers? LOL also, comic con pass!
Just looking at some of the photo op and autographs available at the Comic Con…
REALLY? I mean, really? When you’re a massively popular actor, especially at a comic con… and you’re going to charge? Look at Shatner… $75 an autograph?
No. Screw you. You’re OK… but you’re not worth $75 CASH ONLY for an autograph. Nobody is.
It’s just greedy. There’s only about 4 people that don’t want cash for their autograph… those people are cool in my book.
If I ever get famous, I’ll never charge for people to get my autograph. I don’t care how many people line up for it, I’d do it for free for fans. You can quote me on that, if I ever get famous enough for people to want my autograph.
Get over yourselves.
WTF is this? Seriously?
Do not have conversations through another person’s blog after reblogging it, repeatedly.

OK.
I’ve had it with this country.
I’m selling all my stuff and moving out of USA.
So…
Solar eclipse pictures.
If you’ve been watching online, you’ve seen a bunch of really neat ones. I don’t have a bunch of really neat ones.
When I searched online for the best way to take pictures of a solar eclipse, most of the forums are people being all nasty about it “You NEVER EVER EVER take pictures of the sun!” and such responses to people with similar questions too. Well, gee, thanks for being a dick and not just giving a straight answer, or you know, teaching people the proper technique.
What it DID do, was scare the crap out of me with all the dire warnings of burning out your camera’s sensors, and the like. Well, I’ve got an $1800 DSLR I’d rather not destroy to take some sun pics. Then you see pictures from people’s cell phones or crappy digitals that turned out awesome. SIGH.
So, UV filter with a Polarizied filter, and playing around with aperture settings for each shot, it was still kind of worrying. I’d get one shot, then my second shot the camera would be blacked out, so it was a lot of “point up, shoot, point down… point up, shoot, point down.” Also, realizing that the lens I have is still subpar. Sure it’s OK for most things, but I still need a minimum 200mm lens.
Also, a seal by the beach.
I did lighten my seagull picture, because all I could think of was this when I saw it, and like a dumbass, I forgot to change my settings when I was taking pictures of the bird vs pictures of the sun.

See, even Michael Bay sends me mail disguised as Anonymous to hide the contempt he has for himself!
Yes, though, anon, he is. He’s gearing up quickly to be the next Uwe Boll, I fear…
Nice.
It did clear up in time. I got some neat pics, but probably nothing as sweet as you’ll find online later.
Also I won’t photoshop touch up mine either… but you’ll have to wait til I’m home tomorrow before seeing them.

See?
This is some BULLSHIT.
Scumbag weather
Once in a lifetime Solar Fire Eclipse happening, I’m in CA at one of the best places to view it…
