IIRC, the testifier has to be the person who took the photo. An expert witness might offer opinion, but photos presented without testimony from *the person who took them* don't carry nearly as much weight, whether they're digital or not. My S.O. testifies as an expert witness fairly often and brings her photos as exhibits; what they want to know is "does this picture accurately depict what you saw". -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
