When shooting photographs of an event (education, conservation, humanitarian), always strive to capture the best photos as possible. Good quality photos – resolution, subject, etc. – not only look more professional, they make a stronger statement about the event and SCI as an organization. They look better on websites, too. Please consider the following when taking photos at your next Chapter event:

• • Digital photos should be taken with a 4 megapixel (or higher) camera at the highest setting the camera will allow. They need to be 300 dpi and correspond to a physical size of at least 3"x5".  You can check this in any photo editing software.
  • Try to avoid shooting outdoor photographs toward the sun.
  • Use the maximum resolution your camera allows.
  • Even the best mobile phones don't currently offer the capabilities found in dedicated cameras.
  • Please turn off date/time imprinting.
  • Use a tripod when possible, especially indoors with flash off.
  • Keep your surroundings in mind – a picture with a large SCI banner in the background is going to give a stronger message.
