Jurassicz1 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Hello! Since the start of the year I have been taking photographs of my fossils. They have improved very much. Do they look good? What can I improve? Regards. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Tidgy's Dad Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 They look pretty good to me, though I agree some look slightly out of focus and I would be tempted to include a scale. Link to post Share on other sites
Crusty_Crab Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) My main suggestion would be to add a scale. Your second specimen looks like you used low angle incident lighting from the bottom right. Thats useful for pointing out textures. It does leave the left half of the crown underexposed. I would use multiple pictures, including one with diffuse lighting to make sure everything is evenly exposed. Edited April 11 by Crusty_Crab Link to post Share on other sites

Tidgy's Dad Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I place a ruler beside mine, but others use online apps or a mm. grid you can place the fossils on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fossildude19 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Add scale, remove color cast (yellow), better focus, and crop out excess background. Larger pictures are better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Harry Pristis Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Measure the fossil in the appropriate manner and type the measurements into the post in mm and inches. This will eliminate the issue of perspective with 3D fossils. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
