The basics (actually all of) picking images to show everyone for beta. It’s not hard, or the most important thing in the world, but it can’t hurt.

  1. Content: Climbers want to climb rocks, so why not upload clean pictures of rocks.
  2. Cleanliness: The best beta pictures come from images that show the rock accurately.
  3. Identification: If there’s a distinguishing feature nearby, get it in the frame!
  4. Cropping: Include as many climbs as you can in an image while keeping accuracy, typically between 3 and 6.

Great

  • ambient light illuminates rock evenly
  • identifiable feature in view
  • entire boulder in this case
  • topo lines will be easy to distinguish

bad example

Not Great

  • washed out colors
  • distinguishing features cropped out

bad example

Not so Good

  • distracting shadows from strong sunlight
  • climber covering part of the rock
  • not that big of a deal here
