For the family historian looking to incorporate photography into their research toolbox, this well-written and beautifully illustrated book by Maureen Taylor is a great place to start. She discusses gear and gadgets without getting too technical, and offers practical advice on lighting and composition for photographing everything from your living family members to historical documents. Best of all, she offers suggestions for using technology to get those family videos and photographs out of the closet and "into the hands of people who will love them as much as you do."Author Maureen Taylor starts at frame one, reviewing gear and gadgets for both film and digital cameras (including digital video and printers) and giving photographers helpful money-saving tips on what and how to buy. Then its on to taking pictures, with practical advice on improving photo composition, avoiding common errors, lighting, backgrounds, and even how to keep the photographer from getting left out of all the pictures. She also touches on topics of particular interest to family historians, such as photographing gravestones, family heirlooms, and old documents, as well as ethical and legal concerns when posting photographs on the Internet. Throughout, Taylor emphasizes how family photographers can take advantage of new technology and websites to get family photos out of the shoebox and into the hands of people who will love them as much as they do.
