Pride of Pwnership
Kerri was able to make two greater contributions than I. First, she has a quicker mind. Second, she was willing to actually walk back and forth to the front of the room to get our answers checked.
As the angle of most of these photos indicate, I wasn't even really willing to get out of my chair to take pictures.
Incidentally: the event reminded me I'd chosen very, very well when I bought this Panasonic GX1. Trivia was held in a dark bar, which normally would defy all attempts at casual photography. An SLR and a bag of gear can provide a solution to any problem. But what about a camera that you stuck in your pocket on your way out of the house, almost as an afterthought? You normally just take what you can get (or give up entirely).
The GX1 came right through. Lens wide open at f1.7 to get some light in from the background, ISO set to 3200, built-in flash locked into upright position to bounce straight down off of the ceiling. I freaking love this camera. I'm getting much better pictures with it now that it's my daily shooter and I'm starting to know its features intuitively.
