Web2008 Conference Pictures are Available
I put them out on my Picasaweb Space.
This year I tried to avoid using the flash as much as possible. The results are a bit mixed. No red eye to fix (Yippee!). It certainly was less intrusive for taking pictures; however, the lighting was pretty dim in some instances. I set the camera to Manual mode, bumped the ASA up to 800, set the speed down to 60 and the aperture to 3.5. That worked pretty well in most cases. In the dimly lit rooms, the pictures required a lot of post processing. The result is grainy with drab colors. The other challenge was to catch perky speakers and conveners when they were standing still at speed 60. I'm sure there is a lot I need to learn about low light photography, and I welcome any suggestions.
