NOTE:
There may be an integrity photo taken as this particular photo
is optional. Integrity photos are normally taken only when no
injury or death is obvious and would depict the entire overall
scene.
This photo is taken before entering the scene to
prevent ruining evidence as seen in their initial state. The
integrity photo if desired should be taken after the closeup
of the entrance exitway and before the 360 degree interior
photos.
NOTE:
The technical history of the camera and equipment as well as
the identifying data of each photograph may be recorded on an
attached photograph log.
EXAMPLE:

See the photograph log on the following pages and rough camera sketch
for details. (See Figure 2-1.)
NOTE:
When accomplishing the photo log, each photo is taken, the log
is immediately annotated, and then drawn in the sketch.
