While in Gettysburg on Saturday, I snapped several photos during the speech. I learned just how difficult it is to take photos during an event while trying not to distract the speaker with my flash and slow lens. After a little editing I came out with twenty-four photos that I was happy with.
Do you have any tips for snapping
photos during an event of some sort?

Walt,
Nice post and video!
Walt, excuse the possibly dumb question but I’m not a history buff. What’s the background story of the guy in the kilt?
rlneal,
I really have no idea. I know virtually nothing about the Civil War at this point. I just go for the sights, speech, and cigars.
I have gotten an interest in the Civil War and plan on doing a tour of the battlefields at some point.
When I learn what the significance of the kilt is, I’ll be sure to let you know.
