The lights are up, the fair is open for the public. It is just before lunch time - not so crowdy - and I can set up my tripod. Still got to mask away lots of feet and other parts of the human anatomy.

Before the visitors arrive: From 9:00 am to 10:00 am there is one hour to set up the booth. On the one side of the booth you can see the Tucson sunset gigapixel panorama by Markus Krüger. At the computer you can see Matthias Taugwalder, who managed to persuade a Dutch Mac to respond in English. Antonio Serano leaves the little rom with the fridge and - more important - the coffee. Jan van der Woning, the master of the booth, is just about to set up the equipment for the presentations.

Another one from the conference.
Here you see Torsten Hemke, the infamous VIP panographer from http://www.3d-top-event.com/ and Peter Emmerich from http://www.qtop.eu/ oh, and dont't mind me ;)

We had a lot of interesting speakers on the conference on monday and of course a lot of talks amongst each others.

This is the making of, of our group shot. Handheld and unfocused ;)
I'm sorry for that, but that happens if you don't tape or forget to re-tape your focus ring.

At the IVRPA booth early in the morning before Photokina opens its doors.
