The right hand shot is generally within a macro shot distance range. The right hand image should display the true color of the skin, nails and hair visible, as well as any possible color variations found at the site. Acceptable depth of field in this image should allow for an overall high level of detail […]

The posterior torso shot requires a bit of distance between the subject and the camera to frame the shot, of course this is dependent on the lens used for imaging. The posterior torso subject shot should frame from the waist line to the top of the shoulders or the bottom of the neck. This image […]

The oral frontal view shot is an example of a macro shot due to the subject size and distance necessary to frame the shot. The oral frontal image should display the true color of the oral cavity, the gums, and the teeth. The camera should be able to handle the external light source without discoloring […]

The oral cavity shot is an example of a macro shot that requires external lighting based on the subject matter and the nature of capturing light in a cavity. The oral cavity image should display the true color of the oral cavity, which is tricky considering the oral cavity does not have naturally occurring light. […]

The Head & Neck shot requires a few feet of space between the subject and the camera to frame the shot. The head and neck subject shot should frame from the collar bones to the top of the crown of the head. This image should display the true color of the surrounding skin and hair. […]

The 3 fingertip image should display the true color of the fingertips and any possible color variations found at the site. Acceptable depth of field in this image should allow for […]

The eye anterior-posterior shot is a classic example of a macro shot. Using a macro lens is most ideal for this shot. The macro lens allows the camera to be close enough to the subject to capture an appropriate representation of the subject at approximately a 1:1 magnification level. The eye image should display the […]

The elbow shot is best taken in the macro shot distance range. The elbow image should display the true color of the elbow and any possible color variations found at the site. Acceptable depth of field in this image should allow for focused surrounding skin and any possibly raised areas due to dry skin or […]

The image collection created by the TTAC for the DSLR camera toolkit represents the largest and most comprehensive image set done to date.  Given that the images that we gathered lose their detail at smaller sizes, and that the thousands of images make for rather confusing pages, we have broken down the materials into sets […]
