Mineral PhotographyPhoto Problems

10th Mar 2008 23:01 UTCJoe Mork

I recently added pictures to my site and received this email from the editors. I am wondering what it means and what dimensions for the photos that I need. I will except any help from those who are proficient using this site.


"Please put a size on your photographs. You need to edit all of your

photos to include this information.

ie. 4x5cm."

The size of the specimen you are taking a photograph of. It's not always obvious from the photo. Or, alternatively, if you have a big crystal on matrix, it's ok to say something like "3cm crystal on matrix" - as long as there is something that can let people appreciate the real size of your specimen. With close-up views (eg microscope photos), the field of view is often given.
