nice timing..i was about to go to school.. ^^ she's so kawaii~~ XD...and oh, i realise that she has a mole on her right chichi..corner though..reminds me of mikuru.. XDXD thanks for the morning breakfast!! aka nosebleed... :3~D
Dear Danny, do you get a mokkori whenever you are clicking away?
Zer0, Getting a mokkori will hinder taking photos. Mokkori would mean blurry photos and annoyed readers ^^;
You did manage to get a few photos of her facing you. Did you have to call out for her or was she considerate enough to look at every camera within the 60 seconds?
Oh boy! She is so cute. Thanks for going Danny. When you can, you should to go to a "proper photo session" for Maya Koizumi. Great photos Danny, you caught her eye twice. Your doing well for rapid fire photography. One is so busy taking photos at one of these event, you don't have time to realize there is a girl in a bikini a few meters from you. Ok that's an exaggeration but you know what I'm trying to say. I wish I could adapt so quickly. On a some what unrelated idea. Have you ever thought of having shirts made for dannychoo.com? To give a quasi-organization and promotional appearance when you go to events. Along the lines of, this person or persons are providing coverage for dannychoo.com.
Edward, T-shirts are on the roadmap for this year. Ricky, Calling out does help her remind that you are there or she ends up looking at the person right in front of her. She does her best look at everybody tough.
oohh nice camera you must have! Is it one of those nice DSLRs? I'm only asking because those are pretty good quality shoots, but the sheer number of them taking in 60 seconds! That must be one helluva nice camera! Mine's standard no SLR and it's got good shutter time, but at most I'd probably take maybe 60-70% of the shots you took in that period of time! nicely done :D! P.S nice shoots, she's really pretty ^_^!
Very cute pics, I hear there are these idol shoots at least once a week so when I go to Akihabara I hope I can attend one. Great shots
and not to mention, that's also including the fact that I take off the previews after every shot! And it's not even in RAWs either, just imagine the time it takes to process each RAW formated photo *shudders*, but for the quality I get for a $400 CDN, I wont complain!
@Tiny Red Man: You have sharp eyes dude no wonder you get nose bleeds LOLs Nice job with the photos Danny shooting under the time limit. Do IDOLs just stick to doing DVDs/photobooks of themselves or do they go on to do modelling jobs or become actresses in their careers? Sometimes I wonder if the IDOL is comfortable with all these otaku taking pictures of her... must be a tough job do they have security there?
It's cool you go to these idol photo sessions... I wouldn't have the guts (and my gf would kill me ^_^;;). Nice photos, anyway. What camera do you use?
I managed to catch hold of the DVD and watch it. Personally despite her having a wonderful figure, the DVD simply had too much time of her just simply talking.
oh.my.god... she's so damn cute... so these idol free-for-all shoot sessions happens on a frequent basis? man, i gotta get myself a sweet DSLR, as opposed to my 7 year old piece of junk, before heading to japan...
Wow.. I would say she is one of the cutest here. Can't wait to purchase her DVD. :)
man, they're just getting bigger and bigger aren't they.
more please! =) she's too cute!! motto kudasai! arigato gozaimasu
errr. am i missing something? i really don't think she's much to look at... not to sound like a jerk or anything. please fill me in if i'm incorrect.
wow, 17 pics in 60 seconds, that's an average of one pic every three seconds.. did you even have the time to check your exposure and WB settings or did you set your camera before the session? :D yes, she's darn cute.
uh...okay, I'm about to take back my comment from yesterday. I don't think she's that cute up close. The girls at my school look better in their regular summer clothes. Maybe me being asian has something to do with it.
She is very bountiful indeed ^^; Seems like the EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM really helps. By the way, is there sufficient lighting at these events? Or did you have to do some post-processing afterwards?
Windbell, The lighting is low. I set my white balance to bulb. No processing afterwards - just resize, rotate and watermark (which is done by a batch php script) Angelo, I actually took 77 photos ^^; Camera was set to machine gun mode. ISO was set to about 800. Seth, Usually on the weekends. Akiraman, The most popular ones become actresses, TV presenters etc. But then they ditch the bikini modeling (usually). RedHotFunk, Canon Kiss.
Oh my god... If you give us Miri Hanai, I'm most likely to instantly die of increased blood pressure and heart attacks...
Danny you have 77 photos of her? Post em' I beg of you T_T
eh~ one of these posts again XP i have no idea who any of these people are. sorry btw. my friend requests reon kaede? [shrug]
John, Most of them look the same because the camera was on machine gun mode. lennylein, Prepare an ambulance.
mmm....nice....how do u find out when and where they r holding these shoots?
Some great photos again there Danny, it must be hard only having a 60 second window for photography, but you still got some good ones. I look forward to next months coverage, then you can get all the photos you like.
Nice pics. She looks too young for my tastes though. Love the pic preview of Miri Hanai though - she is really, really nice! Dai oppai - sugoi! (really bad japanese) Cant wait for that shoot - ive already looted the contents in the root of that link :-D Question - do gaijin get funny looks at these shoots? They always seem to be full of hardcore, 100% japanese otaku. Keep up the good work, sir.
Shes not related to the ex prime minister is she....? :-P
man i would sooooooo go to one of these if i could find it ^_^
Uh, not to keen on Idol stuff, but stii, nice pic danny. @AndyH-Lol, now what would be the chance of that XD...
Great pics as usual Danny. Only 60 seconds? That doesn't sound like much, but it looks like you got the most out of it.
Thank you for the photos, always appreciate it when you post them up. DOOOOOOOOO get good shots of Miri Hanai, she's one of the hottest and best idol around besides Harumi Nemoto & Megumi. Oh and thanks for your previous post, you have no idea how useful it is to me now, as Im going to Japan on the 29th of june till 8 July. THANKSSS
@Andy That's the first thing I thought when I saw her name XD Cute girl just like most idols ^^
I wonder if she could fire lasers from her eyes.
How to you find out about the photo sessions? Are they known well in advance?
Great pictures! She's cute indeed, would love to try going to one next time I'm in Akiba (probly next year). It's something unique and you can only find it in Japan ;p. I guess there is a limit to the number of people who can get in. So it's first come first serve when you buy the dvd to get that random number for your seat. Were there many people? But I guess the queue depends on the popularity of the idol.
MAnga is easier to read dc is a bit longer. I like both both manga is more favoratble for me. MArvel is read in box by box, and manga is read in a werid way. And also Marvel has more details depending on style.
kawaii~ :3 i would love to come to an idol event if ever i'll get a chance to visit akiba in the future ^^ how does one get into an idol event? do they need to buy a DVD or something related to the idol event?
Henry, w1ld0n3, jonhohx, All the ishimaru events are listed on their site http://www.ishimaru.co.jp/event/ Hatix, Once the hall reaches about 150 (?) then you cant get in so first come first serve. Hangmen, I'll ask next time ^^; Andy, My guess is that non oriental looking folks do get surprised looks ^^;
zomg ! she is so pretty. what kind of idol is she ? actress ? singer ?
So pretty girl ! I hope one day to come in Japan but the fly ticket are expensive. I like the Japenese Geek Nicolas http://www.tendancemedia.com
are those really? i saw many big jugs Japan...i wonder are they really? what they eat/use ?
Awww, she is so cute. I've only recently discovered this "otaku idol" thing. Great stuff! ^_^
she is my favorite one. nice bikini and body. japanese girls are so hot!
To Danny's wife, Dear Danny's wife, why you not mad? LOL, just joking... I would also like to try going to these idol events... But we guys who are not in Japan suffer too greatly...
she is superb :) Thanks
she's sexy!
She's has great eyes, and no... I don't mean those eyes... (-_-')
very pretty photos again there Danny,i am very much like it
ISO 800? No wonder the colour lacks vibrancy. Nonetheless good enough to show Maya's "full glory". How many FPS was the shots? I mean that machine gun mode. @3den: Rest assured, my friend. Those are definitely real. And it's not about what they eat, it's all about the genes. On the downside, in actuality, many Asian women (including the Japanese) have no-so-XL cup sizes. But hey, does size really matters? And by size, I mean the size of the "eyes". @lostandfound: Good point. I wonder what's Danny's wife got to say about this particular hobby of his. Well, I'm sure Danny knows how to (and not to) behave himself.
