Taking a picture of this outcrop without the hammer on it is wrong. Why?

The hammer serves as a scale to the outcrop. Because the geological hammer has a standard size and its globally recognized, it gives us the change to know the average size of the outcrop(Rock)-

Outcrop features can appear larger or smaller than they really are, depending on camera angle and zoom. A hammer helps avoid misinterpretation.-

Without a hammer (or any scale), there’s no way to tell the size of the features in the outcrop. This makes it hard or impossible to interpret structures, textures, or layering accurately. -

In geology, photos are used for analysis, teaching, or publication. A photo without scale reduces its value as a scientific record.-
