  13. Photographic Documentation of Long-Term Climate Stations Draft Draft Draft Kelly T.

  14. Station in foreground. Eight pictures starting from north looking toward south, always same start and clockwise path. Why? You don’t have to remember !!! North 1 8 2 3 East X West 7 6 4 Walk in a wide circle, about 50-150 feet away from the instrument. Show position relationships. You can always get close-ups later on. 5 South

  15. Station in background, looking outward. Eight pictures starting from north looking toward south, always same start and clockwise path. Why? You don’t have to remember !!! North 5 4 6 East 3 X 7 West 2 8 1 South

  16. Panning. When azimuthal field of view is limited by camera. Panning. Can also pan up and down to show trees, mountains, surface texture. North Initial View Pan Right. Pan Left. East X West Panning. From fixed vantage point, sweep to left and right to record a panorama. Keep relation of instrument to horizon constant. Swivel about a point, but don’t walk. Allow Overlap Panning. Retain an overlap section to be able to reconstruct direction of pan. South

  17. What cameras do not record, at all or very well: Your state of mind. Anything outside the field of view. What is behind, beside, above, or below you. The full brightness range routinely discerned by the human eye. Shadow details. Highly contrasty situations, such as looking toward the sun. Depth. 3 dimensions will be recorded on a 2-dimensional medium. What happened prior to, or after, the shutter is snapped. Shaded detail in bright sunlight, or with snow-covered ground. Dark areas, when brighter conditions influence the light meter. The fact that you are standing in a marsh or a mud pit or on bare rock.
