Misc and Etc with Cake: Dreamhack Winter

Thursday, 22nd November '12
There isn't really much to write about the first day. The majority of it was spent in a cafe waiting to be able to check-in at my most ridiculously priced hotel.

We spent the night before driving to Rostock, we then took a 7 hour ferry to Trellaborg, and drove from there again to Jonkoping. It took about 13 hours in total, but I slept through a lot of it, so that was good. When we arrived, we weren't allowed to check-in for a few hours so we (David and I) sat around and waited in a cute little cafe till we could check-in.

Myself and Yami. Lovely to see her again :)

Fast forward a bit and we arrive at Dreamhack! In between was basically just becoming a person again (shower, nap, etc). The first day wasn't that busy though... mostly just walking around and trying to orientate ourselves once more, meeting whoever we can etc. Though, to be perfectly honest, I spent a rather large amount of time just playing around with camera and my manual flash trying to get good pictures... and failing. So much failure was had. Eventually I was saved by some wonderful guy who had the same flash as me, and he explained what settings he used and why. It was a great photography lesson and hopefully the difference will come out in the pictures.
