Photography is by far and away the art I am doing the most of lately (well, outside of all the design I do for work, if you count that). I figured that it deserved it's own post. Expect to see mostly cosplay and action sports stuff in here.
 
Let's start things off with one of my favorite shots from last season.

New photo edit from Anime Milwaukee

For sure!
 
I have 2 cameras, a Canon 6D and a Canon 7D. The 7D has since become my backup camera (though the very first shot in this is with the 7D). The 7D is pretty much an all around better camera in most aspects, but the 6D is a full frame camera and I just love the depth of field I can get with it.
 
I have 4 lens that I use regularly as well:
Sigma 35mm f/1.4 (I don't think I could live without this lens)
Canon 70-200m f/2.8 IS II (my huge white telephoto)
Canon 16-35mm f/4 IS (wide angle)
Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 fisheye (for when I want to go incredibly wide)

For sure!

Thanks! But I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. If I posted some of my shots from like 5 years ago I think you see that it's pretty possible. Just a shit ton of time...
Also, this reminds me that I need to post more in this thread.

I am someone who has found Mejibray to be largely forgettable (like literally, I can't recall a single one of their songs), but man Eiki is going to stick with me. Sadly, not for any of the right reasons. Those high pitched vocals are some of the worst I have ever heard outside of karaoke.

Artist: MEJIBRAY Single: 盈虧 1. 盈虧 2. 人間 3. 蜈蚣
Rating: | It's more pleasant than open face surgery at least.
 
I'm legitimately disturbed by how far MEJIBRAY have fallen.

I never expected much from them, but this is yet another step down from Theatrical Blue Black, and I wonder how this band keeps fans and continues their activities. For one, the singing is enough to make anyone run for the hills. The goat bleating is such a chore to listen to, and if it's not that it's either strained falsetto or some weird demented frog guttural yoga hums. Tsuzuku's inability to sing trivializes the skills of the rest of the band to a large extent. Their unorthodox vocalist may have worked for them at one point, but that time has long since passed. Tsuzuku needs to either improve his delivery on all fronts or cede his position to someone who can actually sing, because "sounding unique" is not a good enough excuse to hide the singing inability.

盈虧 is the soundtrack that plays on loop in the room where people go to watch paint dry. The excerpt at the beginning is stupid enough, but then it feeds into this aimless and bland melody that fails at being dark and moody. The repetitive strumming does not build up a convincing enough atmosphere, and that chorus is a train wreck of massive proportions. It's the most unengaging single I've ever heard in my life and it provides nothing to hook the listener in. The band isn't compensating for Tsuzuku's shortcomings by producing catchy music, and they're definitely not playing to his strengths because he sounds out of place, so I'm not understanding how this is supposed to work. The accompanying tracks are only marginally better, but still pretty awful. 人間 is a power ballad with an awkward metalcore section in the middle. It's a bad choice to follow one slow, boring song with a gimmick that they lack the tools to execute. 蜈蚣 is the banger that probably works better live than in studio that doesn't get my blood rushing the way a good core song should. For all it's aggression, it feels just as stagnant as the first two songs. If they fail to be convincing with their mother genre, I don't see much hope for this band.

As MEJIBRAY completes their transition from boring to disappointing, I struggle to find any reason why this band should remain relevant. It's frustrating how inconsistent they are. Their last album was met with a lot of unexpected praise, but whatever inspired them then didn't now. This is beyond disappointing; this is almost insultingly bad, and when I remind myself that they pumped this crap out in three different editions my stomach churns. There are claims that MEJIBRAY have potential, but much like Tsuzuku's singing ability I hear none of it. Unharnessed potential is wasted potential and even if the members themselves are individually talented, their music does not reflect on their abilities. In all good faith, I could not recommend this single to anybody. This is by far one of their worst releases in a long time. Even if you're a diehard MEJIBRAY fan, I recommend waiting for the next single.

If you're that brave trooper who actually bought this single, ask for your money back.

Hyura, you are painfully cute. XD
I had some extra time in my works photostudio, so I played around for a couple of minutes

Nagoya Kei and Post Rock? Just my kind of person!
 
While I haven't had the luck to see any of the agoya Kei bands you have down, I'm stoked as I will get to see both mono and toe this summer.
 
I hope you enjoy your time here on the forum!

Perhaps it is because I have listened to it so much that I have become desensitized to it, but Gauze's production doesn't bother me at all.

Stay on topic please.

Not my bedroom and this is a couple months old now (from around Christmas), but here is my living room:

GAUZE DVD is up (for now)
 
My overall thoughts: Kyo should definitely stop modifying lyrics (especially to classic songs in the vein of "Cage") when singing live
