Speaking about melanoma at the PER 2013 Conference at USF Tampa Florida - Nikon D300 Nikkor 80-200mm @ f/4 ISO 2000 1/160th (no flash)I was a USF student in the 1990s. I have not been back to the campus much since, but I spent over eight hours there on Saturday photographing the 2013 PER Conference on melanoma at the Moffitt Cancer Center. It was a very weird feeling to hear so many talks, in English, and really not having any ability to put into context the stats and treatments they were talking about! However, in the end I did start to decipher some of it. I now know about "ippy."
Inside the 2013 PER Conference at Moffitt Cancer Center USF Tampa Florida - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/4 ISO 2500 1/60th (no flash)I was given some specific instructions for this conference, the most concerning being that I could not use flash, at all. I had to only hope there would be enough available light to get decent enough exposures, and thankfully there was. You will see though some very high ISO settings I had to use!
Break time during the 2013 PER Conference in the Moffitt Cancer Center USF Tampa Florida - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/4 ISO 2000 1/60th (no flash)There were also specific shot angles needed. By the second speaker I had pretty much dialed in my settings for each part of the conference room. I used three lenses to photograph each speaker to cover all angles. The light and the subject matter was not changing, so once I established my settings and angles, it was a matter of making sure the speaker was not blinking or caught frozen in the photo making a funny face mid syllable.
