Hello from the crime lab

I am a forensic scientist and photography is used to help document, enhance, enlarge and compare items from crime scenes in sizes ranging from 5micrometer wide paint component samples to bullet trajectories into objects (cars, houses) imaged from above and everything in-between. Composition is not as critical as technical content in my images, though i want to be better in composing beautiful images as well as accurate depictions of what is there outside of the lab. We have Nikon backs and lenses, and Leica and Olympus products for microscopy. I have enjoyed lurking on this site for about a year now, and it is part of my morning routine now.

Welcome makurow: Facinating field you are in, how you take one little piece of something and get a whole picture of what took place is nothing short of amazing to me. My hat is off to you and all of you in your field of work. Again welcome to the forum. I'll be looking forward to seeing your better compositions, beatuiful images, and accurate depicitions of what is outside the lab. Understand that out side the lab depictions don't always have to be accurate, they can tell what ever story you want to convey... Main thing is have fun.

Welcome to the forum, Makurow. Seems we've had a few forensic newbies join lately. Not sure what that means, but welcome anyway. :)
