Hi there, I am just starting out with geometric morphometrics, so was hoping someone could point me towards any documents that could get me started. My specific query is around the image taking process. This is because I may not be able to analyse the images for some time (images will be of fish ~ 40 cm in length). So, for now, I would like to ensure that I take images that will allow me to do 2D analysis later on. Is there a document/book/previous string of postings that outlines the best image taking process/equipment in simple terms? I have "Zelditch, Geometric morphometrics for biologists : a primer" on order from my library? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Darren
