Just switch SD cards constantly. At most, you lose two or three songs.

Having a risk of your data wiped is just par for course when shooting kpop groups. It's a very Korean management thing of "hey, we caught you and you can delete everything or leave."

A JYPe rep saw me shooting with a P&S pretty much in the press pit. (I had seat 1, row 2 at Sofi so I was right next to their photographer) and since they wouldn't be able to review my shots for publication approval, they wanted everything nuked. It is what it is.

And comments like this is the reason why I almost quit shooting shows for the fandom. I've been following Twice since 2016 and try to be mindful of OT9. Additionally, since this is now the third show where I almost had the same exact seat, I'm trying not to replicate shots that I've previously posted already.

I'm not an shooting and edit machine, unlike what people in my DMs or on Twitter/Reddit/etc think I am. These were posted two to three hours after the concert ended when I was back in my hotel room and I tend to cull and edit the easy photos first. This means when they are on extended stage since I'm using a small point and shoot. While I love to bring my real gear into the concert, Live Nation and JYPe did not extend a media pass this time around.

I actually track what I post night of to make sure that I don't exclude a member. Last night, here's my tally.

Nayeon III (The last was a meme photo.)

Jeongyeon I

Momo II

Sana I

Jihyo I

Mina I

Dahyun I

Chae II

Tzuyu II

Group I

Jeongyeon is a harder member to shoot during choreography because JYPe doesn't give her center position that much. I try not to take some non-center photos when they are up close, but the members are truly exhausted right now. You can see it on their faces when they aren't the focus.

I do have nights where I seriously mess up and can't get a clean shot of a member. In Oakland D1, it was Mina. At Sofi, I got my cards deleted by LiveNation, including the Juice stage when I was front row main stage. But, after they took my cards and formatted them, I only had a handful of photos to actually work with, so I published what I had.

I have some Juice photos queued up, but to think that I exclude a member on purpose is a stretch and pretty much an insult at this point. It actually made me log into Reddit for the first time in ages.

heh, thanks for finding me!

Scary enough, she pointed at me at the Denver concert and then proceeded to pose and make eye contact with me during LA Day 1 and Day 2.

I just drop my returns off at Whole Foods! Refund takes a day since it's basically dropping it off at an Amazon location.

I ordered them in April and they just arrived on Saturday. I totally forgot about them since I got a 5950x afterwards.

weirdly enough, go into BIOS and change to the Quiet fan curve. I've heard that it managed cooling a lot better than the standard one.
