Thanks Götz,
I’m using the turntable because I really want to make sure I capture the fine details in the branch, and with a noisy background (this is all for testing methods that will be used in tropical forests and field stations), I’m concerned that the small branch ends will be lost. When they’re up against a high-contrast background, then it seems to me that there is a better chance they will be recognized as features. Having said that, perhaps it’s worth doing a trial of walking around vs rotating and seeing how it turns out.
Re: turntable shape, the top one can be square (that rotates with the object), but not the bottom one that sits on the floor and doesn’t move…
Are you using a tripod?
Thanks,
Allie
