Welcome Reception Outtakes
FTTH and PON. Nanophotonics. WDM-PON and OCDMA. Parametric effects in fibres. Real-time Digital Signal Processing for Optical Transceivers. Nonlinearity Mitigation in Coherent Systems. OFDM and Multitone. Quantum Information Technologies. Optics in Computing.
Do you know what I’m talking about? I don’t. But that did not refrain me from taking photos at ECOC 2009, the largest conference on optical communication in Europe.
And what do you do, when you are at a place filled with business people from all over the world who talk about [potentially] important business things and might not want you to interrupt them like a funny party knips for posing and smiling but you have to deliver?
The answer is: Canon EF 50mm 1,4 USM.
Because then, you don’t have to disturb. And you don’t need a flash. And you might end up with a couple of outtakes that might not represent the conference in all it’s complexity and with all it’s aspects, but which might make sense on their own.
I might write something more serious about similarities and differences of taking photos during speeches or discussions and concerts, because this is still what I do ways more often [and it's supposed to stay like that]. I just have to find the time. We’ll see.

Aw c’mon. :) Compared to it’s outcomes and compared to other lenses, it’s a ridiculously cheap buy. And if ~350€ is too much, you still can get the 1.8 for ~100€ only.

une occasion, would the frenchman say and if 350€ is too less you can buy that one.
