Cool. I was going to suggest this, but thanks for beating me to it. My overambitious idea was that every MOC could get a “yearbook photo” taken, possibly during check-in, as a more-than-a-MOC-card standardized record of the ‘Fest. And it now appears that BF-DC-04 is officially documenting itself on DVD, and is looking for footage.

For the little studio I have, I have been using quartz halogen lighting and white balancing the digital camera to them. I could bring a couple. With proper balance they seem to give pretty good color rendition with my cooppix 5700. I have used then to shoot my mineral specimens with some success. But for good depth of field one would need a tripod (or perhaps a monopod) or brighter lights. Or just use the flash of the cameral and just use the “studio” to provide a nice uniform background.
