As Eric Bana's Nero says in the zoom shot at the end of the Star Trek (2009) trailer,

The Wait Is Overhttp://phyz.smugmug.com/Events/TAM/2010-07-JREF-TAM-8

Well, it's mostly over. What I've posted are shots from Friday, July 9, 8am-10pm, including

Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
Hal Bidlack
Michael Shermer
Sean Faircloth
Women in Skepticism (Watson, Hecht, Gay, Hall, Campbell, Tavris)
James Randi
Simon Singh
Joe Nickell
Phil Plait
Adam Savage
Pamela Gay
Carol Tavris
Origins of Modern Skeptic Movement (Randi, Kurtz, Hyman, Frazier)
TAMham 2010

As always, I sit up close, take a bajillion shots, and toss out nearly all of them. I don't use flash, but I do fish for expressions and gestures. What goes into the album is only the best of what I got. And I got some good ones.

...more to come...
 
Awesome images Phyz.

But where are the people not on stage?

More specific. Where are the pictures of me? Sob

Don't feel bad, there weren't many (any?) of me either, except the ones you took.

Not that I mind. My entire trip to Vegas was one long series of Bad Hair Days.
 
I'm actually kind of surprised by how little interest there was in my TAM8 photos, given that I thought what I published was good and usable stuff. I've not received any requests for print (or republishing of any kind). I was sure I'd see the skeptic blogs use them, given how hard I pushed them on #tam8 (twitter) and here.

Guess I was wrong.

I thought they were really great (accept that there were none of me).

Have you tried to upload them one at a time to Wikipedia? I have some there and one is the main picture for Robert Lancaster.

I also got pictures for a CFI article up, but then it was who you know in that case.

Tag them as much as possible so people searching can find them.

I got one person asking if she could use my pictures for her website and I told her no.

Apologies. Getting shots of the luminaries on stage the way I do (i.e., making it difficult for myself) is somewhat nontrivial. You know this best if you've tried to do it, yourself. High ISOs, long zooms, image stabilization, noise-reduction software, and (mostly) taking a bajillion shots and throwing nearly all of them away.

So I count this "ability" as one of my special skills. I've got that, and I can curl my tongue.

I leave it to everyone else to get "normal people" pics. How bad am I about getting such shots, myself? I've been hangin' out with Dicon+Iconic Wife since TAM2 and still have no photographic evidence that we even know on another. Come to think of it, that might be Dicon's doing. That guy oozes nefarious plans.

Were they on facebook? And did they have people other than the folks on stage in them?

If the answer to both those questions is "no", then I have a fair idea what the problem might be.
