Jensen Ackles: Minn Con 2015

 

Jensen Ackles : Minneapolis Salute to Supernatural 2015 Convention J2 Gold panel.

I found out as I was tying to save my files on my dying laptop that I had yet to edit my J2 Gold panel Minneapolis convention pictures. This is one of the many gems I have found thus far! As soon as I can I will post more!

Thanks for stopping by!

Gil McKinney

Gil McKinney I am sorry for your loss with the passing of your Father.

Many may not know this since I have not seen much on the feeds about it, I thought I would pass it along for those we cared….

Although I did not know your father, we all will feel this pain some day….

A great soul has departed, but the memories of your Father shall never fade. I know your loss is huge, and I can only share in your pain. Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. May the soul that has gone, rest forever in peace. Keep faith and courage and know that your family and friends surround you in this time of need.

Again I am sorry for your loss….

 

B&W Photography…

B&W photography has been around since the inception of the camera and film.

One of my all time favourite B&W photographers is Ansel Adams. His photos are stunning and evoke feelings that are beyond words.

B&W photography has always spoken to me, once you remove all the colour that can sometimes be distracting; what is left behind can tell a beautiful story all on its own.

Since I have started shooting again within the last couple of years I keep getting drawn back to B&W. It tells such a story all on its own. If the picture is good enough it can tell that story to anyone who looks at it all on its own without the colour within the photo distracting the viewer.

Alaina Huffman

If I had not taken this shot and come across it without knowing any back story I would be curious as to know what caused this shocked/surprised look on Alaina’s face. I hope that with this photo I have caused the viewer to have that same curiosity

Mark Sheppard

I love that I was able to capture this shot of Mark, sometimes during his panels he is so snarky and he loves to torture his fans and he rarely if at all answers any questions. his go to answer for any question is NO! I love it! Every now and then a fan will surprise him and ask an intelligent question or make a comment and you get his little smile.

Stephen Norton

I love that I was finally able to get a great shot of Stephen, since he is the drummer he’s usually in the background and blocked by the other members of the band and some of the equipment depending on the angle of the shot. So I decided to convert the shot to B&W to hopefully to show the joy and concentration he uses to play.

I know that photography is a continuing learning process and I can only hope to continue learning and improving one shot at a time!

 

Thanks for stopping by and listening to my rambles.

 

Lucky shot!

Billy Moran: Guitarist for Indy band Louden Swain.

Going through some of my con pictures from this past year (2015) I have found some really cool gems now that I am looking at each one with a critical eye.

I have usually thrown out or deleted any shot that I did not feel was perfect, but it is not perfection that I had captured; it was that special moment in time, that special feeling I had at the time in which I will never get back.

This shot is from Minneapolis Convention 2015. It was a very lucky shot I did not know I had captured until I went back through them.

This was also the first time that Creation Entertainment held the SPN con at an actual convention centre, the lighting, the sound, the view was so much better! The convention centre in Minneapolis was Awesome for the con.

I got this shot at the end of the R2M panel (Richard, Rob & Matt), the boys were all jumping in the air at the end of the panel along with the music. While editing I couldn’t decide which edit I liked better, the B&W or the colour, so the coloured version is below as well. Although I think I like the B&W version better…. but you be the judge.

As I continue to go back through all my pics and continue to find some more of these gems and memories I will gladly continue to share them all with you….

 

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

 

Richard Speight Jr.

Playing @ being a Rock Star!

 

I found these lovely pics of Richard when I was going through my MinnCon 2015 Pics. I totally missed editing them till now because I misplaced the SD card!

So please enjoy the AWESOMENESS that is Richard Speight Jr. playing guitar and singing. He has a great tenor voice!

Gil McKinney: MinnCon 2015

Friday afternoon panel:

While I have been under the weather and unable to go out to take some new pics for my 365 challenge (which I hate, feel like I am failing) I decided to clean out my camera case and I found a flash card that must have fallen down to the bottom…. when I loaded it into my computer I was happy to discover they were the pics from the Salute to Supernatural Minneapolis Convention 2015 that I was missing. So I have uploaded some of the shots to LR and just now beginning to edit them.

This is Gil McKinney: He is the actor that portrayed Henry Winchester, the grandfather to Sam & Dean Winchester. He was also Prince Charming in Once Upon a Time.

He is an all around awesome guy. When I met him last year at one of the cons I discovered he is a sweet, humble and very gracious man!

Oh and I forgot to mention, he has an awesome singing voice. The very first song that I heard him sing was was John Legend’s “All of Me” at DC Con 2014. Truthfully I think I like his version better, (sorry John L.) He is professionally trained singer and I think right now he and his wife are in New York, so that he can do some auditions for Broadway!

DC Con 2014 was his first time singing in front of fans, and he was really nervous but he did a great job. Osric had asked him during their combined panel what his favourite song was at the time and challenged him to sing it at the Saturday “Cabaret”

Thanks for stopping by and listening to me ramble on about my con passions

Jensen Ackles: VanCon 2015

Sunday afternoon panel.

The Salute to Supernatural Vancouver convention this past August was just as fun as 2014’s if not more! It was my 3rd VanCon and at this time I get to spend it with my SPN family that I only get to see at these conventions; especially my “Sis” Evelyn! I only get to see her at this time of year and we try to make the most of our time together. Enjoying the convention and then location hunting and seeing the sites of Vancouver!

We are already counting down the days to this years VanCon. A little more than 8 months to go!! Can’t wait!

Since we are both Jensen “Dean Winchester” Ackles lovers, I love sharing all the shots I am able to take of him during the panels and after I have done some editing I am happy to share the love!

So to get on with the sharing here are a couple of shots of him from the Sunday afternoon panel.

I love his little smile here,  of course he was listening to what Jared was saying.

The lift of the right eyebrow! LOVE!! I think it is an unconscious thing, but it drives to me to distraction whither he knows he is doing it or not!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting!

 

Jensen & Jared

Supernatural VanCon 2014

One of my favourite photos from this convention shows the comaraderie between Jensen and Jared and the true friendship they share. It is a little blurry because of the motion captured but I LOVE it anyway!

Jensen Ackles & Jared Padalecki

Jensen Ackles : Rock God!

Jensen Ackles : Salute to Supernatural Vancouver 2015 Convention 

Saturday Night Special singing “Simple Man”

Doing some B&W edits of Jensen from the VanCon 2015 SNS concert where he graced us with singing :Simple Man”. He did such an AWESOME job!

Hard to imagine that he used to be so shy around us fans and would never even think about getting up on stage to sing in public. Now it seems so old hat, he seems to get a lot of enjoyment out of it now! I am just so happy that he is finally comfortable to do so!

Thank you Mr. Ackles!!1

Jensen Ackles: Washington D.C. con 2015
