When sourcing a supplier for your aerial photographic needs you mustensure that you make your deadlines clear to the company. If an aerialphotographic company has a large amount of work to complete and knowsthat it will be unable to provide the necessary service then theyshould advise you that they will be unlikely to meet the deadline.

One of the largest problems in the UK is the weather. The weatherwill not only affect the operation from an aviation perspective, butalso and to a greater extent from a photographic perspective. This isthe most likely reason for an aerial photographic company to miss adeadline! Although a supplier can't change the weather they must beable to react quickly, having full time professional pilots and theirown aircraft is one way of achieving this.

The type of aerial photography required will also dictate the level of influence the weather has. For example oblique aerial photography of a large area will require good horizontal visibility, usually above 10 kilometres. However, if it is event aerial photographythen the work will normally be completed providing the weather minimais above the pilots and aircrafts flying minima. Often large eventswill be over several days so the supplier should carefully select theday when the weather is at its best to enable the best event photography to be completed.

When a deadline is close it is of up most important to ensure goodcommunication between the supplier and client. It may be possible forthe client to accept photography in not perfect conditions, e.g. withcloud shadow. If this is the case then there will be more chance of thesupplier meeting the deadline and more chance of a satisfied customer. Construction photography is one area where this maybe possible. The construction industry often uses progress photography to show a large developments taking shape and therefore the timing tends to be more important than perfect conditions/
