What a hoot! I was invited to join Dave Merrell and The Design Dawgs as a guest blogger for his presentation at The Special Event in San Diego and it was a blast! They say that people enjoy talking about themselves (hence this phenomenon called Blogging). But talking about oneself in front of other people? What a rush! Here is a photo of me trying to look smart with my new glasses while Dave quizzes me on how to take better event photographs.
I scared Tom Budas when I stood up and showed how to lean against the wall to support the camera when taking an available-light photo. He was afraid I was going to push the fake wall off the stage! Close call.
At one point I did look into the audience and saw a few people eagerly writing down my 4 tips on how to take better photos of events with a point-and-shoot camera. I like it when people are eagerly writing down what I say! Makes me want to stop and make sure I'm saying it right!
So with that thought, I will give this some thought and make a few posts about how you as an event planner can get better photos of your events when you just can't afford to hire a professional photographer. Stay tuned!
