abstract

The tasks and specifics of photo documentation as a way of recording and accumulation of information obtained during field work, in particular when meeting animals on routes, their tracks and typical habitats, are considered. Experience in photographing of these objects and documentation is summarised to help the researchers to avoid common mistakes. Various types of new generation devices (digital single-lens reflex and mirrorless cameras, portable cameras, smartphones) in relation to the tasks of photo documentation are considered. The article describes various typical photo documentation objects with shooting recommendations and image samples.
