Digital Photography in Biology Lab Teaching

Abstract

This workshop is designed for biology lab teachers who are not yet using digital photography. My focus will be on the simplest equipment that will do the job, not on the best or latest equipment. I will cover the basics of color and gray scale digital photography, biometry, closeups, and photomicrographs with or without a trinocular head on the microscope. We will make a little time-lapse movie with a still camera. Computers will be garden variety PC’s or Macs. For software I will use mainly the freeware Scion/NIH Image.
