I have uploaded some photos I took at yesterday's London Perl Conference which you can find here: https://plus.google.com/photos/104598318166622233830/albums/6079750947217139 633?authkey=CPfUo7mY4Yz3jgE
I understand someone is creating a flickr group to combine the various photographer's shots but I don't have the link - but if someone lets me know: I will copy them across. I think I've done a bit better with the light this year: but bear in mind there are big technical challenges in shooting non-flash photographs with conference lighting - particularly when you're trying to not distract from the actual talks. The photos I took at the last two conferences are still available to see at: https://plus.google.com/photos/104598318166622233830/albums/5952849024849301 153?authkey=CJDc4M-snaLrIA https://plus.google.com/photos/104598318166622233830/albums/5814778503882637 793 Oh, and if anyone would like to come and hear what I get up to when I'm not coding [pP]erl, I'm playing cello with the newly formed Collaborative Orchestra at a Christmas concert on December 4 in Wapping. The conductor is very ambitious and we're recording our first CD next year. If you want to hear how good we sound: the orchestra was featured in a 30 minute (mostly music) documentary on BBC Per(l)sia which you can watch here: http://www.collaborativeorchestra.com/video/collaborative-bbc Or, if you want something shorter: this was the 50 second promo video for the concert in April featuring our glorious leader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNBHEINHfRk On December 4, we're playing Vivaldi's Gloria and Haydn's ''Insanae et vanae curae'' with a choir from the London College of Music plus a few other works like a cello octet arrangement of Faure's Pavane. I've been "volunteered" to play the cello 1 part in that which goes slightly eye-wateringly high... so might be about to pop off to do some practice.
