The photos in this set were shot at the December meetup of the PDX [portland] Flickr group's photo geek gathering at Old Town Pizza. As this was our Christmas gathering we didn't have a photo contest this month, instead we continued an annual tradition of holding a White Elephant gift exchange. Twenty two gifts were offered fore the group to pick from, and there were several that passed from geek to geek... like a Pin Hole camera kit. It's not very apparent in the photos, but the light level in the restaurant was very low and so this was a good shoot to really test a well known feature of my Nikon D700, it's high ISO and low noise capabilities. In the photo captions I have indicated that the ISO I was shooting at was 6,400.
