Photography tips

And as we pass 200 records, here are a few tips from me on collecting quality images to assist with verification:

Try and collect multiple images of a specimen, whether it be animal, plant or other. Try taking photos from different angles (above, below, adjacent) and do your best to get them in focus!
On that, if you are trying to take an image of a slender subject (say for example an orchid) try putting your hand just behind the subject; it will help your camera to focus in on it!

Regardless, some species are hard to identify, so we appreciate your patience as records are analysed and verified.

Happy cataloguing!
