2011 Chicago Con report (Saturday)
Aug. 27th, 2011 07:22 pmOkay, so I was supposed to post this last night. But while I was sitting in the comfy chair at my sister's, selecting and uploading photos for inclusion, I glanced over at the computer desk in her dining room and realized something. Her printer is a scanner, too. There went my evening. Having never used it before, there was a delay while my niece tried to talk me through it on the phone. (Luckily, she was on her way home and not very far away.)
Scanned this year's photos. Figured what the hell and did last year's, too. Then came the rotating, cropping, and sharpening of editing. Here's an idea: why don't they just always give the sharpest image possible? At one point I had to delete all the stuff I'd saved and start over, because I'd started adjusting the exposure instead of the sharpness at some point I couldn't be bothered to determine when. Long story long - I left after 5am. But it's all uploaded now. Wheee!!
Some of the photos look blurry, but when you click them bigger they clear up. Shouldn't it be the other way round?
( And so it continues... )

Some of the photos aren't the very best, but considering that I was in the tenth row, a lot of them came out better than I'd've imagined was possible. The slow of bandwidth might want to click and then go do something else for a bit. Like run a marathon. :)

Part Two tomorrow (one hopes). Joe autograph, Michael's talk, Michael and David autograph, and dessert party arty hijinks.

After leaving Kath and Sue and heading off to bed, I remember nothing. Apparently the bed (with its surfeit of pillows) is just as 'heavenly' as advertised. And the blackout curtains...BLOCK OUT ALL THE LIGHT!! I need those in my room at home. :)
