Remember:
•To reduce shake, use a tripod when possible
•Take multiple photographs of the same subject and choose the best
for uploading with your data
•Look for the unique features of an invasive species, such as pointed
rhizomes on cogongrass or glandular notches at the base of tree-of heaven leaflets.
•Position yourself so the sun is over your shoulder to get the best light
(Front lit image) for sharper details
•Automatic settings on digital cameras work very well for most
situations
•Digital cameras usually have a macro setting for close-ups
