Whether you’re embarking on a family vacation or your family reunion, it’s going to be a special time. When we think of trips we’ve taken, we tend to remember them best with photographs. Here’s some ideas to enhance your vacation as well as your memories of them.

Location Preparation

Since you know where you’re going (that’s a minimum requirement), doesn’t it make sense to check out the location before you get there? Create a list of attractions, accommodations, special points of interest, amusement areas, shopping, etc. A good source to help you do this is: the Places and Travel section of msn.com ( http://groups.msn.com/Browse?CatId=179)

Figure out the photo opportunities for each appropriate venue. Anyone can take a “that’s nice” picture of the kids at an amusement park. Wouldn’t you rather capture a “WOW” photo that could be hung over the mantle?

Depending on the location you’re traveling to, you can see what books are written about them that highlight the best photo opportunities for the entire area

If you’re cyber-savvy, start at www.google.com and search using different combinations of: your destination, best photography locations, for images of the location, scenic spots, etc. The options are endless.

If you’re off to a non-big city area, scout out the national parks in the area. The great thing about national parks is that the scenery is usually so breathtaking, that a so-so shot looks outstanding, just because of the subject. Once in www.nps.gov, do a search on photos and you will be presented with terrific shots of all the parks

Photography Preparation

OK, you’re either traveling through or you’re at a wonderful location full of photo opportunities. You began this leg of your trip at the crack of dawn and as you’re pulling into the most scenic overlook for 400 miles, the sun is just starting to crack the horizon.

You instinctively pull the car over, grab your camera and your tripod, and look for the best spot to set up. Just one tiny little problem… YOU FORGOT YOUR TRIPOD! Rather than smack yourself on the forehead then, why not plan these things now, before you leave?

Your list should include AT LEAST the following consideration…

Do I need to repeat – BRING YOUR TRIPOD? It doesn’t take up much room, and as explained at www.best-family-photography-tips.com/tripod-photography.html, tripods allow you to capture entirely new categories of photographs that won’t be possible without one

Memory. Of course, bring all the memory you have, but also pack your portable storage device such as an sd card.
If your camera has a hot shoe, bring your external flash, and any additional equipment that can be used to help with bounce flash

Remember your external shutter release cable for those long exposures. How else are you going to get that “angel-hair” look of the waterfalls?

Don’t forget the basics like: batteries, battery charger, camera bag, and additional lenses and filters (if applicable on your camera)

And just in case you need it, bring the manuals for your equipment.

Finally, don’t get so wrapped up in taking perfect shots that you don’t enjoy the trip. Remember to use the tripod so that you’ll be in at least some of the photos.

There are numerous audio-visual aids incorporated in conferences nowadays. Some of them are extremely sophisticated and can be impressive. The following are possibly the most common ones in the market today.

The use of a film and soundtrack is very popular. In its flavor, it offers color, movement, the ability to demonstrate, quality speech and music. Its overall package is highly polished, memorable aid, shown to audiences in any event no matter how many can attend as long as the venue can accommodate the number of the crowd. Films also stand alone and dominate the program because they do not allow a two-way communication to happen between you and your audience.

Videos in many respect offer similar advantages and disadvantages to a film, especially those that are made specifically for your company to use and other events. The key difference is that many ready-made videos are purchased by conference organizers to show during training sessions. It is important that the content may not have the same themes, messages, and emphasis in the conference, which may confuse the audience.

Many are not familiar with slides that have a running sound commentary. They may be presented to a big number of audiences. Other advantages of using slides may mean the “perfect” speech can be heard without any disturbances like coughing, hesitations, and errors. This is a good method but the inevitable drawback that it is so difficult to synchronize the audio and visual elements. Sometimes they create embarrassing results, which may reflect badly on your professionalism as a speaker.

These equipments can help you to put across the message clearer and better. It is much easier to show charts of statistics on a slide than reading out every figure. It also enables you to save time. They can also add a variety to long speeches, which can maintain interest and enthusiasm, and increase the possibility that your audiences will absorb and retain a message longer in their minds.

In order to make the right choices on the use of audio-visual aids, you should be aware of their advantages and disadvantages before focusing on other factors that may likely influence your presentation.
