Draft: Methods Discussion

Submitted by aspark on Fri, 02/22/2019 - 12:13

The photographic differences between figures 1A and 2A and figures 1B and 2B are because the photos in figure 2 were taken at a further distance. This is because the location of the top of the steps were misinterpreted for photo A, and the distance at which photo B was taken was not specified in a detailed manner. The differences in tree exposure in figures 1C and 2C were also due to the photos in figure 2 being taken at a further distance. The description for where photo C was taken was relative to the distance at which photo B was taken, which was already taken further than in the original. The lichen in figure 2C was also not centered because that was not specified in the Methods, and the angle at which the photo was taken was also not discussed. The car in the background of figure 2C, which was not present in figure 1C, is because the tree is on a busy street with constantly changing conditions, and the blue tint in the photo was probably due to the sunlight being shaded at the moment the photo was taken.

Lastly, the difference in font for the boxed letters was because the Methods specified for the default font settings, which may be different on different computers. The instructions for the figure layout must have been relatively clearer than the instructions for the photography because the layouts between the figures were nearly identical.
