Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

1. An orientation (medium) view of the bite mark should be taken first so the viewer of the photo(s) is aware of the location of the bite mark on the victim. A close-up photo of the bite mark is taken after completion of steps 210.

2. Secure the camera on a tripod.

3. The camera should be placed directly in front of the bite mark with the surface of the camera lens parallel to (facing) the mark.

4. A L-shaped ruler (measuring device) should be placed against the skin, next to the bite mark.

5. The camera's aperture setting should provide the best depth-of-field possible. An F-stop setting of F-22 is recommended.

6. If using a digital camera, the frame should be filled with the details of the bite mark as well as the ruler, rather than photographing the bite mark one-to-one (life size).
7. The camera's flash unit should be held at a 45-degree angle to the bite mark. A series of photographs should be taken, bracketing (using different shutter speeds to allow in different amounts of light) if necessary.

8. ALS photography may also be conducted.
