Dear /p/

i was working this trade show today, taking photographs of our booth with my colleague (300D and D1x + Metz 60CT-2 respectively) and this cute chick with a media badge walked by with her D40 and did a double take. At that time he and I just lol'd and kept working. In the back of my head, her face had been burned into my mind. Zomg she was pretty! She came by our booth later and took some pictures. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. She then walked away to take photos of other booths. I kept watching her from afar... When she returned again, she was standing near the show entrance, chatting with some friends. I mentioned her to my co-worker, and he went up to her and asked her politely what magazine she worked for. She said she worked for the show, and asked him the same question back. By that time I had arrived on the scene and chimed in with our company name. She was like.. ahhh hey you guys have awesome cameras! Im just a n00b! She offered to email us the pictures she took, so we wrote down our email address for her, and right when I was about to give her my email, my other colleague (D70 and Vivitar 285) came up and set off his flash right in my face. That broke my train of thought. Defeated and still a bit woozy from the flash, I stumbled back to my booth where I started swearing at my D70 colleague. That bastard. I swear he must be failing so hard in his own quest for a girl that he has to come and set me back too. By that time she had disappeared =/ The trade show continues tomorrow.

How do I get the chick /p/? Halp me!

You fail so hard it's not even funny. You have answered your own question. She told you "ahhh hey you guys have awesome cameras! Im just a n00b!"
Your response next time you see her, " Hey, you said that you are new at this camera business... how 'bout we/I give you some pointers?"
Then go on from there, tell her you often want to do shoots but hate carrying materials alone and would be awesome to have someone around to go do some shoots.
And before you say no that won't work.. read over again... she told you "Im a noob" meaning..."teach me!!!!"
So go look for her, get a bottle of water and hand it to her and open up with what I said.

OP here. 2chan provided some pretty good pointers for Densha Otoko so i though I'd ask here just to see what happens. Anyways, turns out she didn't show up today, so I'll just sit in the office, waiting for her email...

So you're telling us you found a pretty girl, claim to have a pro camera... yet I see no pics? I call bullshit. The D40 thing sucks though, especially compared to the D1X.

Impress another Nikon photographer? Get yourself a real camera. The 1Ds Mark II or 1D Mark III with a 400 f/2.8 IS would be great for "watching her from afar" even in low light and if she decides to run away screaming, the superior AF algorithm of the EOS-1 bodies will keep up with her.

Want to get back at your friend? Get yourself a 580EX. These fire at slightly higher power than the Nikon SB800 (not sure about the Vivitar stuff though).

Dont ever betray the Canon family. Canon > Nikon.

Get a 30D and some L glass, you owe it to her

she never claimed to be pro. We're both complete utter admitted noobs, starting at the bottom rung.

Plus I'm too poor for a 30D, let alone L lenses, 1D/S, nor 580EX
