Want to Take Better Conference Photos?

[5/15/2007: Update! Cybèle let me know that her article is available in PDF here.]

I know I do. For those of you who get Information Outlook, flip to page 26 in the May issue for Cybèle Elaine Werts's article, "How to Take Better Conference Photos."

Her tips range from technical things like use of flash and resolution to the art of working with subjects to being unobtrusive. I found the latter suggestions especially useful, since I always feel shy about snapping away, then regret the times when I haven't. Case in point: my only photos from SEAALL were touristy. I felt conspicuously like the only law librarian in town with a camera, when I clearly wasn't. Must get over that.

Unfortunately, SLA doesn't have the latest issue up in the member's only section, so I can't even link to that, but I recommend tracking it down if you're going to a conference this summer.
