Alain in Tokyo

izakayaIt's been already 3 weeks since the pictures have been ready, but somehow, I forgot to post a link, so here it is: the traditional team party for the visit of our regional manager in Tokyo.

NT, Unix, networking, programming, you name it, the guy knows it all inside out!
Recently, he was even doing some troubleshooting, opening PCs to mount their hard drives on other machines, because of an unsuccessful patch on NT (did I mention how much I enjoy having a Mac at home?).

How many top-level managers do you see do that recently?

Anyway, he's quite an amazing man (remind me to make him read that before the appraisal process at the end of the year!), and it's always with great pleasure that I meet him, both professionally and personally speaking.

It was also another shooting session for me, as I'm practising for Fred's wedding to understand how to capture the atmosphere of a party, without killing the mood...

What I've learnt this time: the key elements are a wide angle len to capture the whole scenes, fill-in flash to fix the subject and to have a good rendition of the ambient light, tilting the image to make it more dynamic and enjoying the party yourself!
