Stargate Chicago 2009 - Fri

[winter_elf]

Day one was pretty laid back - get your con badge, look at more things to spend money on (photos) and some guests. I enjoyed Connor Trinneer's talk and took a whole bunch of pictures. I have a seat on the isle and a fairly good center line - but a tall person I need to lean around. Luckily I can almost hold my camera over my head and still see what I'm doing, even if my hands were going numb!

Connor's got a pretty expressive face, and I've got a number of funky expressions. He also really held that mike close to his mouth, so I've tried to pic a few to upload that I got a good shot.

Since I was busy with photos, I totally lost track of what he said. Basically that he enjoyed the 1st appearance of Michael on SGA the most, that he enjoyed doing the villian (all the 'grrrrrr' shots I attempted were blurry), that makeup time got him into character (and was long), that he did a number of his stunts in the final battle (the punching stuff), that he prefers longer guest rolls and dislikes small stuff and that he loves the city of Vancouver.

Nice photos! I like too the fact that the backdrop seems to be different for a change and that he doesn't look like he's disappearing into a giant TV screen. :-)

I ran into both the mike issues and the 'losing track of what they were saying' issues in an attempt to get that 'great' shot, but with my little camera and the distances I was from the stage, I decided I would try to take a few good shots of each guest speaker and then sit back and enjoy the show. Don't forget to enjoy the experience! *wishes she were there*
