Quality documentation is one of the cornerstones of the conservation profession.
In this workshop, basic documentary photography techniques will be revisited and the pros and cons of different cameras and equipment will be discussed. Digital photography is still a relatively new field and there are many misconceptions about what the technology can and cannot do as a documentary tool. The pros and cons of different digital cameras, an overview of their file storage capabilities, and some intended uses of digital images will be addressed. The format of the workshop will be a combination of short lectures and hands-on sessions. Conservation in 2001 General Session, Specialty Group educational sessions, workshops, tours, special events, and a symposium, sponsored by AIC and APT, are all part of the meeting.
