A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing a special event at the Université de Québec at Montréal (UQAM) called the 2011 Montreal Agile Tour. This event is a gathering of some of the best local and provincial minds who are expert in the field of software development and project management. Being a software developer and technologist myself, I asked one of the main organizers if they wouldn’t mind having me document their day.

A sidetrack idea that I was going for was also that this kind of event was the perfect opportunity to try out my brand new D700 that I got a few days prior to the event. In fact, I knew that the light wasn’t going to be super good or even flattering, so that pushed me to use high ISO, sometimes even up to ISO 6400 to get the proper exposure I wanted.

In all, the D700 is phenomenal. Had I used my D90 instead, I wouldn’t be able to use most of these images that were shot in very dim light because even at ISO 3200, it would’ve been too grainy for my taste.

With all the technicalities behind us, here are a few pictures which tell the story about how I experienced this event…
