Granted, emphasizing the subject size in relation to its surroundings for your pictures is probably something that is not a priority for most shutterbugs. This practicality is more accustomed to photographers working in the news and photojournalism areas as it is a requirement to have the pictures showing elements of "Who, Which, What, When & Where" and the subject's size is usually included in them. Especially when the news item is about the "world's largest or smallest" item, the pictures concerned have to show the size in relation to its surroundings. Photo trade shows like the annual PMA and the bi-annual Photokina World Imaging Fair as well as other major events like Comdex or MacWorld, where the exhibitors use state-of-art facilities and the largest booths possible to showcase their respective products and technologies. While it is quite exciting to describe the sights encountered to colleagues back home, most of the time they don't have the idea of the sheer size described to them. If your pictures can show what exactly you have seen, they will definitely make your job easier. The multiple TV screens in relation to this presenter (below, top left) from one of the booths at PMA 2000 Show is one example of showing the difference in size between them. A shutter speed of 1/20 sec. was used to ensure that the framing rate of the video in the TV screens was minimized. Next (top right), a gallery of photos adorning Canon USA's booth at PMA shows the various sizes of the prints in relation to the visitors in the shot. Multiple TV screens and presenter Photos adorning Canon USA's booth     Another set of photos at the booth Now their sizes can be emphasized On another wall of the Canon USA booth featuring photos from the Explorers of Light, the photo (above, lower left) only shows the prints. While it is common knowledge that these prints are large, the exclusion of visitors from the shot doesn't give one an insight as to how large they really are. In the next picture, with the inclusion of some visitors at the extreme right, the sense of the actual sizes of the exhibited prints is much more evident. If you want to give an idea of how large an area of space is, like these two examples below of California's Disneyland, where the first picture is of the queuing crowd and the second is of the first attraction the moment a visitor enters the area, which is also visible from the first shot.
