Default RE: Flying for the camera!

ORIGINAL: rcphotog
YOU DO REALIZE the Triplane is FULLSIZE ? Right ?
but for the purposes of this thread, who cares?

I would like to add,IMHO, most R/C pilots don't understand how to FLY FOR THE CAMERA. They tend to flyWAY too fast,not realizing we are shooting "STILLS" not video!...Done correctly, it's very boreing for the pilot, but essentual for us " R/C PHOTOGS " to fly SLOWLY and closer-in than they maybe used to.
I agree, and that's the point of this thread. Assuming that a pilot and photograher can coordinate a photo shoot, what should the pilot be doing? Flying slower is definitely a plus. Flying closer in is good. Doing more banked turns and just generally flying within a smaller space. But what else?
