Methods Proj. Discussion 1

From google maps, it is evident that the interspecific interaction documented in Figure 2 is approximately 10 feet to the left of the interspecific interaction documented in Figure 1.  In order to create these pictures, the physical position of the camera in space must have been different. This also explains the difference in backgrounds between Figure 1 - A and Figure 2 - A as well as Figure 1 - B and Figure 2 - B.  The background difference between Figure 1 - C and Figure 2 - C is due to both the position of the camera being different, but also the angle of the camera. The camera that took the picture that comprises Figure 2 - C must have been facing downward because of the snow on the ground.  In Figure 1 - C, the camera was parallel to the ground because the background is the LSL wall. The level of visual detail that may be discerned about the organism from the individual organism pictures differs between the two figures. This is due to the distance of the camera lens from the organism differing.  The distance of the camera from the organism was specified in the methods.
