Hey Guys,

I just wanted to go over a couple of the quick guidelines to taking pictures.

1. Please set your camera settings before the event to 1024x768. This is a fairly standard size that most cameras should have. If the pictures are to big they are very difficult to transfer in bulk, and if they are too small then they won't show as much detail.

2. Please take all the robot pictures in Portrait this is very important! It is nearly impossible to resize pictures from landscape to portrait without distorting the image.

3. As a guideline for how to take the picture you want to be able to see the front of the robot and the team # on both the front and side bumpers. Basically, you should be taking a diagonal pic of the robot. Also, please ensure that the pictures don't have people working on the robot. Most of the time they are blocking parts of the robot from view. I also highly suggest taking more than one picture of each robot and so you can later delete the extras keeping the best one.

4. Once you get the pictures downloaded, if you rename the files according to the team #, sorting becomes much, much easier. (Ex: 0001, 0011, 0111, 1114)

5. If you co-signed up to photograph a regional with someone else, you guys can decide how you want to share the load, there is no "best" way or anything like that.

We have found that https://www.wetransfer.com/ is great for transfering large amounts of pictures.
Thanks, Bryan
