Imaging Guidelines

The following images show some common pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Excessive shadow

The photograph contains excessive shadow due to oblique lighting	The photograph is taken with diffuse lighting and the o-ring is not partially obscured by shadow

Lack of focus

The photograph is taken too close to the o-ring, and the camera is unable to focus	For small o-rings, taking the picture from further out to achieve focus is required

Perspective skew

The camera is not perpendicular to the plane of the grid	The camera is approximately perpendicular to the grid, there is minimal perspective skewing

Too far

The o-ring is too small in the photograph (this is acceptable for small o-rings where it is required to achieve focus)	The o-ring is taking up the correct amount of space in the photograph

Off-center

The o-ring is not centered in the photograph	The o-ring is approximately at the center of the photograph

Incorrect grid

The o-ring is too large for the grid	The correct size (A3) grid is used

Rotation

The grid is not aligned with the vertical direction of the photograph	The grid is correctly aligned with the vertical direction of the photograph

Obstruction

The photograph contains debris or other artefacts that are not the grid or the o-ring	There are no other items in the photograph
