"The Second Summer of Valiant" Panel @ - 8:00 PM, July 20th, Room #4 at SDCC 2013.

Hosted by Brian Wells (VF Member "betterthanezra" or BTE)

Hey everyone... I took some photos to share for those who could not make it to the event last night.

Sean from OTV had audio recorded the panel which should be up very soon. Someone also had video recorded the event, but I'm 100% sure if it will be released anywhere.

Chris D’Lando from Bleeding Cool wrote about the at the event:

Thanks!

Glad you all love the pics. I think most can get a feel on how fun and successful the event was. Was quite surprised at the turnout as I expected less of a crowd since this was a 8 PM panel.

Needless to say... I tried to take photos of the different groups, but so many was going on all at the same time. Also, I'm just learning to use the camera w/o flash for the first time in this panel. I didn't think about the flash annoying the panelists and attendees.

Some people looked a little reluctant on getting their pictures taken..

Next time... hopefully someone assist me to que the ppl...that I'm taking photos for Valiant Fans.com and bring some Valiant Fans business Cards so people know where these pictures are going to.

Nice pics, wish I could have been there. It's great to see so many Valiant fans together! And there's other women there who are actually fans (I'm not the only one!) -- this board could use more feminine voices other than my own to ride herd on you guys (looking at you here, Bugsy--jeez) :lol:

Congrats Brian!

Looks like you did pretty good - the lighting usually isn't substantial enough in those types of room, makes it harder. Up your ISO to a very high number and if possible, adjust color for the type of lighting (fluorescent, etc.)

Thanks for the tips... Need to learn how to use the camera in these settings.
I usually just shoot in Auto. (No Flash sometimes) The white balance, I didn't get to adjust. Didn't plan ahead. :O
