INVEX – DIGITEX 2008, Výstaviště Brno 6. – 9.10.2008
V roku 2008 som na INVEX‑e dlho nepobudol. Boli tam pekné veci, ale môj záujem o ne nebol príliš veľký. Nesťažujem si, napokon som to čakal. Ak by ma však zaujalo viac vecí, potešilo by ma to. Chystal som sa najmä do “fotopavilónu” a prekvapilo ma množstvo fór a “fotokurzov”. Čakal som v oveľa väčšom množstve expozície veľkých firiem ako Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony. Toho som sa nedočkal ani v oblasti výpočtovej techniky, ani v elektronike. Invex mi prišiel ako regionálny veľtrh pre menších podnikateľov, čo si myslím, je škoda.
In 2008, I didn’t spend much time at INVEX. There were nice things, but my interest in them wasn’t too great. I’m not complaining; after all, I expected that. However, if more things had caught my interest, it would have pleased me. I was especially heading to the “photo pavilion,” and I was surprised by the abundance of forums and “photo courses.” I expected a much larger presence from major companies like Canon, Nikon, Pentax, and Sony. I didn’t find that, neither in the field of computing technology nor in electronics. INVEX seemed to me more like a regional trade fair for smaller businesses, which I think is a pity.
INVEX – DIGITEX 2006, Výstaviště Brno 9. – 13.10.2006
Výstavu som navštívil spolu s mojimi kolegami z práce v jeden októbrový deň. Na Invexe sa mi páčilo a určite by som rád prišiel znovu. Upútal ma pavilón, kde boli televízie, noviny a rozhlas a medzi inými aj Český rozhlas. Vo Fotoaréne sme mali možnosť návštevníci veľtrhu vidieť a použiť profesionálne zariadené štúdio, mohli si vyfotiť modelky a vypočuť si aj nejaký výklad. Modelky pózovali samé, ale aj vo dvojiciach. Jeden návštevník dostal ovládací kus, ktorým ovládal blesky vo “fotoateliéri”. V rámci výstavy sa konala v areáli BVV aj veľmi pekná výstava fotografií. Videl som viacerých autorov už “zabehaných”, ale aj niektoré snímky pochádzali z časopisu, do ktorého prispievali skôr amatérski nadšenci. Záujem o pozorovanie maľovania na od pása nahé baby bol evidentný. Pani, ktorá maľovala poznám aj z podujatí v Piešťanoch.
I visited the exhibition with my colleagues from work on one October day. I liked INVEX, and I would certainly like to come again. I was drawn to the pavilion where televisions, newspapers, and radio were located, including Czech Radio. In the Photo Arena, visitors to the trade fair had the opportunity to see and use a professionally equipped studio, take pictures of models, and listen to some explanations. Models posed individually and in pairs. One visitor received a control piece to operate the flashes in the “photo studio.” As part of the exhibition, a very nice photography exhibition took place in the BVV area. I saw several well-established authors, but some pictures came from a magazine where amateur enthusiasts contributed. There was evident interest in observing the painting of a naked woman from the waist up. I recognized the lady who was painting from events in Piešťany.
