Using Your Camera for Genealogy

Great article from Family Tree Magazine on what shots to get when doing genealogical field work. Here's an excerpt:

Ancestral Homes Shot List

• the entrance to the street (a view your ancestor may have seen every day)
• the house with neighboring buildings
• the whole house (we suggest first knocking on the door to let the current resident know why you're taking a picture of his house)
• as many sides of the house as you can capture without trespassing
• interesting architectural details
• the yard
•  any features mentioned in family stories (such as the tree Grandpa fell out of as a boy)

Read the comments for even more great tips.
