We Boldly Went....

At least for a short while. This past weekend, Jena and I attended the Star Trek convention in London, notable for having all five series captains at the one event. There were also a raft of other cast regulars and guest stars, all arranged in a seemingly humiliating hierarchy of stands. The entire event was really just a money-making exercise, with exorbitant fees for autographs and merchandise. Since I'm never particularly star-struck, I didn't indulge myself. We stayed for a few hours and captured some of the costumes and also the actors from afar. Some people came from far overseas to attend the event. Interesting how such a broad range of people are fans of the Star Trek mythology.Anyway, here are some of my shots. Almost all of these were shot at a very high ISO and with my walk-around zoom, the 18-200mm. A few shots were taken with the 50mm F/1.8G.

Not entirely sure what she's supposed to be, or even if she's dressed as anything from the Star Trek universe. Nice hairdryer, though.

Robin Curtis (Lt Saavik), my favourite find of the entire convention. She has hardly aged in nearly 30 years! 
Here she's posing with a fan (Ms Curtis is on the left of the image....!).
