6 tips for super vacation snapshots |
|
Shooting great vacation photos, even with that new digital camera, takes smarts and know-how. To help you make the most of your digicam on your next trip, Microsoft At Home asked top photo gurus for their professional tips. Badly taken vacation snaps can be awfully disappointing, but good ones are a lifelong treasure |
Power up |
|
Learn to manage power—dead batteries ruin great photo ops. Always take two sets of batteries and a charger, says Jorge DaSilva, manager of Henry's School of Imaging. Use one set in the camera while the other charges. |
Protect your gear |
|
Dig cams are very susceptible to water damage. After one of Catt's cameras got a little damp, "it was toast," he says. Stay away from water and carry your camera in a waterproof bag |
Pack enough memory |
|
The camera's manual should tell you how many shots at a given size and quality you can store on your memory card. Use this information to calculate the storage required for each picture, then multiply by the number of pictures you expect to take. |
Tell vacation stories with photosEvery picture tells your story |

What a great vacation! Don't you wish everyone could experience it the way you did? The sounds, the sites, the smells—your pictures can certainly conjure up some great memories. These are the memories that you'll want to share with others or revisit yourself over and over again throughout the years. This article shows you how to capture great vacation photos that will help you to tell your story best. That's right, your vacation (or any other event, for that matter) is a story; it has a beginning, middle, and an end. Capturing your photos in a way that tells the story is the first step in really taking your vacation home with you and sharing it with others. Digital photography has dramatically changed the way you can share your vacation experiences with others. Among other changes, it provides many new options (beyond the traditional scrapbook) for telling stories using images. For example, you can create a digital scrapbook or slide show to share with others. You might burn images to a CD and ship them to your parents or send them via e-mail to family and friends around the world. With a program like Microsoft Photo Story, you can even create a movie of your still images, complete with music, movement, and narration. No matter how you end up sharing your digital photos, with a little planning you can make sure you're telling a great story. Here are some ideas to help you do just that.

Do you work in an industry where every piece of e-mail you send (or sometimes even think about sending) has to be archived for legal purposes? In today's regulation-heavy environment, if you're not careful, cleaning out your Mailbox can lead to cleaning out your desk. To make the process of archiving e-mail easier, you can use Managed E-Mail Folders in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Once set up by the administrator, Managed E-Mail Folders are accessible in Outlook 2007 and Outlook Web Access 2007. You can drag messages required for archival to these folders where they will be governed by administrator-defined retention and expiration policies. Likewise, an Office SharePoint Server 2007 Records Repository can help you archive and manage important documents of record. IT personnel, lawyers, and records managers can use the Records Repository site template to quickly create an online records vault and apply information management policies to govern record labeling, auditing, and expiration. Documents can be uploaded to the repository directly from your favorite Microsoft Office 2007 applications. Managed E-Mail Folders and SharePoint Records Repositories are easy ways to stay compliant with external regulations and internal policies.
