proof that this is not easy



Here are some funny pics of my adventures trying to get aerial photos.  The first picture is a view of the camera stand  (see previous post) taken by the camera after it fell off of the stand.  Then there are the numerous photos taken of my arm when the timer went off before I could raise the camera up on the stand.  I have obviously still not perfected the art of aerial photography,  (my field of view is slightly too small), but I thought it would be useful to document the struggle. I went ahead and did some digital analysis of the photos I have so far.  On the sexangulare platform, there is approx 35% coverage, 40% coverage on the kamschaticum platform, and 50% on the album (shown here); these estimates are all probably slightly over due to my inability to photo the platform edge. Special thanks to Colleen Butler at Tufts who helped me figure out how to use imageJ to do this analysis.
