Crime Scene and Evidence Photographer's Guide |
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Summary: Useful Crime Scene Info
Comments: Considering the price I paid for this, it was a decent value. It does not have as much as I wanted, however what it has is useful. |

Summary: Outdated
Comments: And too expensive!! This book is a small (5x7) spiral bound notebook that came out in 1997. Nothing about using a digital camera obviously. The pictures are small, B&W, and grainy. $24.95 is asking way too much for an outdated book that is lean on information to start with. I had hoped to get more info on shooting traffic collisions however there are only 5 pages!!

Summary: To think a tree was cut down for this...
Comments: 64 pages of obvious materials. Take photos from all perspectives. Take close up photos of evidence. Document all photos. I know, amazing isn't it (sarcasm). How someone can find this book "enlightening" that doesn't have an interest in its sale, is questionable to if they are competent as an investigator.
That's the substance of the book with some basic mentioning to photographic technique that any novice with a few months would know or have access to. There is little substance to this book. Look elsewhere for information. |

Summary: ESSENTIAL PART OF A SOCO KIT
Comments: Having just started as a Scenes of Crime Officer with Leicestershire Constabulary, in January this year, and successfully completed my 9 week initial training course at NTC, Durham, I find this book a helpful guide for photographing evidence at crime scenes. This book deals with many different kinds of things I have yet to encounter/experience as I am only now just starting to go out on my own, having been tutored for the past month or so. I endorse it to anyone who wants to learn how to do this type of photography and to those who use photography in the job. This book is a great introduction to the subject of crime scene and evidence photography as the pictures contained therein are excellent and the beginner is not overwhelmed by technical jargon. Although slightly high in price, I feel the book is still worth owning and it is a precious part of my SOCO kit and use the useful information supplied when out in the field. I like the fact that the book is spiral bound and easy to handle; I like the style and format of the book especially the diagrams and helpful step-by-step check lists and sample photographs. |
