Ripley: Believe It or Not!

Sigourney Weaver being interviewed at the 60th Edinburgh International Film Festival two days ago. I got there an hour and a half early and managed to get a seat in the front row right in front of her...although she was seated facing away from me for the most part.

 

Having done a lot of stage/concert photography in the past, with all the challenges it provides...it really was a joy to be able to take these shots with the benefits of my new Canon EOS-5D and autofocus lenses that work under these conditions. The lighting wasn't the best...but I really like this portrait of her.

 

Oh...and I got to ask her the first question from the audience and she said...and I quote..."I love your accent!". I'd like that on my tomb as an attributed quote please. :-)
