by the way yeah, it's a good starting-out camera.
>Have some experience with DSLRs that weren't mine but really want to practice
>go to a local convention and ask to shoot people
I wasn't planning on doing anything at all with them, just to get practice with photography, didn't even shoot it in RAW
>after a few shots ask to take a picture of a girl cosplaying whatsherface, the blue maido from Re:Zero, because she pulled it off pretty well.
>she poses and then I notice
>she had a friend there wearing a noticeably shittier cosplay low-key glaring at me
>Fuck, did I just ask her friend for a photograph and completely ignore her? that's pretty brutal of me.
>"C-can I take your picture too?"
>"No", she said in a pretty stern tone, the kind of tone you get when someone tries to hide being pissed off but lets it slip.
>I take the maido's picture and go on.

It has been months and I still feel shitty about it, don't single out good cosplayers from a group of other cosplayers, it's basically like saying "this one is good the rest is garbage".
