determining these factors. The basic requirements for
photographic coverage are as follows:

1. Overlapping views of the port side, the

starboard side, and the underside, including
wings and wing tips

2. Radome and appendages

3. Antennas

4. Fuselage area under the horizontal stabilizers

5. Upper section fuselage

6. Odd-colored covering on the skin of the aircraft

7. Bomb bay areas, especially if open

8. Other open hatches

9. Landing gear

10. Engines and cockpit

11. Identification markings

12. Weapons

When shooting aircraft, the underside of the aircraft

is almost always in shadow. Remember to compensate
for your light meter reading, particularly when the
aircraft is airborne. Use the substitution method of
exposure to record an acceptable exposure.

PORT

There are times when the ship may pull into a port

that has not been visited by Americans for quite some
time (fig. 6-25). Photographs can provide a wealth of
information such as trading, harbor depth, and various
other activities and capabilities of a port. You may be
tasked to provide photographic coverage. The following
areas should be documented:

1. Panorama of port

2. Ships in port

3. Channel markers
