I've tweeted from the WMUK account encouraging people to take photos of
candidates.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Proposed election night editathon

[John Lubbock]

I think we should do one before. I suggested Sunday 7th May, and Ed has
said we can use Newspeak House. So we need a trainer now. Anyone keen?

Much is down to the operator, but better cameras can take better pictures,
especially in Low light conditions.

If you take David Gerard's advice and introduce yourself as from Wikipedia
, any political party with an ounce of commonsense will usher you to the
front and give you a position where you can take a good photo.

Why? Surely they are all open to being photographed? And why "serious
gear"? Just an iPhone would do?

I rarely take any sort of portrait photograph but the candidate are out
there so be seen (and heard).
