FWIW we ( AAPI in my immediate area) try to avoid momofuku after this fiasco www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-a...
David Chang and Momofuku will no longer enforce 'chili crunch' trademark
“First and foremost, I want to apologize to everyone in the AAPI community who’s been hurt or feels like I’ve marginalized them or put a ceiling on them by our actions,” Chang said.

It's been said by so many others before but doesn't hurt to say it again, I'm proud to be part of and forever thankful for the inclusive community GDQ has created where I can safely explore what it means to be myself.
and as always: do good, relentlessly.

It also made think about trying to be more intentional with the time I spend online. My extreme introvertedness carries over to online spaces as well but I want to try and put more effort into being part of an online community as opposed to just being active twice a year at GDQs 😅

Considering the last two points, it made me realize we always talk about remembering to tell the people you love you love them but it's not something I'm particularly good at (I'm actually quite bad at it) so thats something I want to work on, even if it's something small like "i like your shirt!"

2) This was the most comments I proly ever got on my outfit?! I was sorta expecting it for the "Media offline" shirt given the GDQ demographic, but was totally not expecting it for the techware pants! Someone on the fashion panel liked them so you already know i'm riding that high for the next 50yrs

Also shoutout to all the photographer volunteers! We have a lot of returning volunteers and it's awesome to see them all growing and expanding their skills every event!

Just want to draw special attention to this photo since it sorta shows how much work goes into making every run work and how things are constantly being worked on and fixed, even mid run. Shoutout to all the BTS people 🙏🏻

Always gotta stop by the arcade! I don't think I took any "regular" photos of DDR/SMX this time, they were all shutter dragged to make the lights look like they were coming out of the panels. Tried doing this on some other games/cabs with.... no so great results lol

A welcome addition to the stream room this event was the RGB lighting around the walls! The definitely helped give runner and couch portrait shots a pop of background color that didn't exist previously.

This lead to a bunch of slightly blurry photos that i should have been able to capture with no issue. I hate that I'm been saying this for the past couple recap threads but cranking the shutter speed when needed isn't much of an issues with advanced in denoising, i guess old habits really die hard.

One pretty big mistake I made this event was forgetting to changing my shutter speed. The rule of thumb is to set your shutter speed to 1/(focal length) to prevent handheld induced blur/shake and due to low light throughout the venue I had both cameras pretty much locked to 1/200

To no one's surprise, lighting was TERRIBLE in the hotel which made white balancing a nightmare, especially in the casual gaming + panel areas. sometimes you're dealing with stage lights (~6000K), hotel lights (~2600K), and daylight (~5400K) all in the same shot, masks are your friend >.>

Having both cameras(a9iii and a7v) hit 15fps and have similar AF performance definitely made my life a lot easier but, as previously mentioned, a lot more photos to cull through when shooting in bursts. eshutter on a7v held up WAY better than expected, you can hardly see any bend in the drumsticks!

This lead to the coloring in some of the photos looking different at the start of the week before I figured out what I was doing and the end of the week after I had ironed out all the kinks

... because I did something you shouldn't do right before a big project, make a big change to your workflow. Which I did by trading my Sony a7iii for the a7v 🙃. There were some small changes I had to make since a7v RAWs aren't 100% compatible with LR yet, like having to use a beta color profile.
