I just do the good old camera over the head and review to see what I got in the camera. I am six feet tall but that is no taller than anyone else in the room so I can add a foot or so by getting that camera up. Hi Iris, yes that is exactly what I did.

I've shot so many of these and they are always difficult - high school kids love to pose for the camera, and while an occasional posing shot works for the paper, I don't like to use them. I see you used the wide and long lenses to put yourself out of the way. Great juxtaposition of the poster and the interviewers. How are you shooting the photos from above? I'm short and I have to hold up the camera, then review, then hold up, then review to get that kind of shot. Is that your technique as well, or are you standing on something here?
