Alek Komarnitsky Boulder Ignite 7 Presentation

I presented "Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia in 20 slides" at Boulder Ignite 7 on Dec 10th, 2009 - man, was it tough to whittle it down!

Alek talks about the "big trip down South" in front of a thousand people

Since I was speaking at this event, I didn't shoot a "complete" set of pictures, but here's a decent sampling of what happened.
The Boulder Theater is very, very dark - we're talking a dungeon! And since I didn't want to use flash, ISO was often pushed to 3200, and several times to 6400 and even 12800. So these pictures are a bit noisy/grainy, even with a Canon 7D and F/2.8 lens.
