My god, the convention hall is huge. And I thought Calgary Expo was busy.
Shame about the photos. At least you got to take the new phone for a spin and try things out. If you go again next year, you'll definitely be prepared.
Wow, some of those Daleks are pretty bad ass. That big battle Dalek I've seen in pictures before. It can even shoot smoke. Sounds like Toronto beat the record previously held by a UK convention. Take that, UK!
Oh, and this just made me laugh. In your picture of the Star Wars booth? There's a guy in the background wearing a white hoodie from Assassin's Creed and he's pretending to assassinate the Storm Trooper. Ah, fandom, don't ever change. :-)
Yeah, now that you mention it, I think when I took the picture I realized he was an Assassins' Creed cosplayer doing just what you describe (since I'd had a closer look at him from a couple different angles), but by th e time I looked at the pic later for posting I'd forgotten and assumed maybe he was just a guy in a hoodie.
And I have a whole year to get more experienced at taking pictures... though I'm not sure what else to take pictures of that have the same "you have to do it quick or you lose your chance forever" sensation as the con. Maybe if a major crime goes down in front of me or something.
Some great photos! (I haven't gone through mine yet)
I never saw that Flash on Saturday -- he was there Friday, but we Rogues lamented that we could never find a Flash aside from a tiny shy child. We met a Kid Flash, though. That Flash stripped down in public on Friday, it was weird. And I sat across the aisle from that Guinan at George Takei's/Nichelle Nicols' panel. The people behind me kept whispering "Is she supposed to be Guinan?" and I kind of wanted to ask them if they thought regular people just happened to dress that way at Star Trek panels :>
I heard there was sort of a DC photoshoot this year, but we Rogues heard about it too late. Too bad, I really enjoyed last year's.
Well, I have to admit, with the Guinan one, if she wasn't at a convention, I might wonder if she was cosplaying or if she just thought that was stylish (and maybe it is, I know nothing about fashion these days!)... but at a con, and especially at a Star Trek panel, yeah, it's pretty obvious! (Kind of like with Doctor Who... a guy in a tweed suit and bow tie might just be a weird dresser, unless you're at a con, then you know who he is if you're familiar with the show).
A shame you missed the DC photoshoot and that you couldn't find a Flash to menace (in photos), though!
