If someone has time, would they mind letting me know how long flash photography was allowed for during the Q&As today?  Was it the 15 minutes as stated on the website?  5 minutes as at their signing events?  Or was it the 1-2 minutes as it was at Eclipse?

Many thanks!

Am thinking about going to Chevron 7 and answers to this will help me make up my mind!

Hope you are all having great fun!  Smaller cons tend to be fabulous  :thumbup:

There was no limit on the flash photography in the talks today. But, because these are smaller guests, very few people seemed to be taking pictures at all, and even when we did, the flash didnt seem necessary. My pics that I took with the flash actually werent as good as the ones wihtout.

I never use flash at talks, unless i'm really close... it flashes the area around you and makes the guests dark!

I think with it being a smaller event that it was a lot more relaxed but I guess the busier the event the less likely they are to have flash for a long time as of course more flash would be going off.

everyine was taking photos for the first couple of minutes and then it died down. people were more intrested in listning to the talks than taking photos of them sitting in a chair over and over again
Ringbang is our culture
It’s what we speak, without language
It’s what we understand, without education
It’s the greatest awareness, that of ourselves
And through this philosophy, we will be able
To stand strong culturally, in a hostile world.

I took a few pics in the first few minutes and then I put my camera away and I actually really enjoyed NOT worrying about getting shots and could just enjoy the talks, which I loved!

It was just such a chilled out event everyone just took pics for the first couple of mins then stopped and listened to the talks
