So, here's how to have some fun at a social gathering or business meeting. Take your K-5 along, (or some other camera, if there is one, that combines unobtrusiveness, image stabilization, and is happy up to ISO3200). Mount a 100mm prime on it, e.g. the D-FA 100mm or the fancy new "WR"; once again, small and unobtrusive win. Sit at a table with friends and colleagues and take pictures of them as they speak, gesture, and listen. I think being with people who know you and are used to you snapping pix all the time is an important component. Then post the pictures privately on the web and email the gallery to everyone who was in the room. Unless you're unlucky, you'll get a high proportion of razor-sharp, compelling, images, and heartfelt thanks from the photos' subjects. Can't share these because they're at internal Google gatherings, but I really do recommend this. -Tim
