We will actually need the equipments supplied by the charterer and the specialist for photography and our work is to ensure the pilot flies within the given coordinates and abides to the photographer instructions strictly and even repeats the instruction when almost at the destination for confirmation.The vast majority of modern cameras have built-in metering systems,which work to a high standard and greatly reduce the possibility of picture failure as a result of incorrect exposure.

However ,there are many occasions when an automatic metering system may let you down for example when photographing white birds,or light co loured animals ,against a dark background or, alternatively, dark birds or animals against a light sky or background.Under such lighting conditions knowledge in the use of +/- compensation is required.In the case of white/light subjects against dark backgrounds, the metering system may well be influenced to a great extent by the dark areas,thereby over exposing your main subject.This will require you to under expose to retain detail in the important white/light subject areas.Conversely in the case of dark subjects against light skies or backgrounds,the light areas may well over influence the metering, resulting in a silhouette of the main subject.This problem will require you to over expose in order to obtain detail in the shadow or dark areas of your subject.Many present day cameras have a + /- compensation facility to aid the photographer with these awkward exposure situations.
