Appendix: Track Photo Documentation Guidelines
PHOTOGRAPHS OF INDIVIDUAL TRACKS:
1. Take photo looking directly down on track to reduce distortion.
2. For close up photographs, fill the entire frame with the track and measuring devises
3. Include two scales, preferably rulers, one running lengthwise, the second widthwise.
4. Take at least one picture of the track that includes a card in the picture with:
● Site Name
● Date
● Observation Number
● Team leader's name.
5. Take multiple photographs to ensure you get a quality shot.
