Hi Rotopix,
I was a Paramedic for 14 years before I got into panoramic photography. My father in law was the "Chief Deputy" for the county I worked in before he retired. We talked about crime scenes back 1995 when Ipox hit the market. But back then the resloution of the images was not really good enough to document details in the crime scene so the sherrifs office decided not to use the technology.
Now we have better technology and better cameras and the ability to shoot very detailed images.
I am using a D70+Nikkor 10.5mm now for full screen work. This setup can make panos with very good detail. It is possible to see things like scratch marks on doors where possible entry was made and document blood stains and blood spatter patterns, position of furniture etc.
My carrer as a paramedic had givin me great understanding about crime scenes. I have worked many murders and been an intergral part of some cases.
Anyway this knowledge gives me the ability to properly photograph a crime scene. Sometimes there are situations where this knowledge is necessary to properly photograph the scene.
Can you post some links to some or your work in this area, or is this not possible due to confidentiality?
I would like to make a presentation for law enforcement but I need to gather some background info.
Any help would be appreciated
Gen. Lee
