1.2.5. Photographs and scale

Linear units used in this project are exclusively metric. A tape measure was extended to exactly 1m in landscape photographs to provide scale. Despite the tape not being legible, the total length of the exposed tape is always 1m unless otherwise noted. In some instances the tape is not perpendicular to the photographer position, a situation that could lead to foreshortening and in such cases the 1m scale would become invalid. Laboratory photos were taken on a matte grey background with a 1cm grid in the background. Additional notes regarding the methodology are provided in Chapter 5.
