Microsoft Tech Ed 2008 Developers | Panoramic images from Bill Gates' keynote

Programmatically stitched panoramic images. I shot these pictures during Bill Gates' keynote on Day 2 of Microsoft Tech Ed 2008 Developers.

Empty. Stitched from ten vertically-shot images.

Full! Stitched from six vertically-shot images.

Lineup for the Q&A with billg

Quizzing Mr. Gates.

This one's an uncropped mess but I sort of like it anyway. Next year maybe I'll bring a full-frame fisheye lens to shoot the keynote.

General call to conference organizers on technology topics: I am happy to exchange unrestricted rights to the thousands of photos I invariably shoot at these events for comps on conference registration fees.
