Off-topic: I have an Ask Me Anything up at Reddit
January 27, 2010
[Hello to any redditors who have followed a link here. Please scroll down to find the more interesting articles; sorry that your introduction to SV-POW! is a backlink article.]
Excuse the self-promotion, but some SV-POW! readers might be interested to know that I have an Ask Me Anything going over at the social news aggregator site reddit com. I posted a long comment on someone else’s submission on whale size, and a lot of people asked me questions, so I started a separate thread, which you can read here.

Brachiosauridae incertae sedis NHM R5937 "The Archbishop", dorsal centra 4 and 5. Top to bottom: left lateral; dorsal with anterior to right; posterior, right lateral and anterior. Images copyright the NHM since it's their specimen.

[…] Shoot from cardinal directions Also really important. I am not (of course) saying that you should never get photos from any directions but the cardinals, but if you come home from photographing a vertebra and you don’t have shots from in front, behind, above and left and right lateral, you’d better have a good reason why not. Only by getting all of these can you make informative composites like the ones of the Archbishop that I’ve been posting lately. […]
