'''Capture the details'''


===== Capture the details =====
When thinking about what to photograph, it may not be obvious which details will become important later on. Generally, the more pictures taken, the better. However, the DAMM only allows for three photos to send with each report, so choose photographs carefully.

'''Take photos from different angles and distances'''


===== Take photos from different angles and distances =====
It's best to take a wide variety of photos. Snap photographs from at least three different angles and distances. For close-up photographs, take the picture from one to five feet from the subject. Also take medium distance photographs (from 10 to 15 feet away) and long distance or panoramic photographs (from 20 or more feet away) when it is safe and makes sense to do so.
