Maplike Picture Which: Most airborne and shipborne search radars are used for navigation as well as for searching, since their easily interpreted PPI displays give a realistic maplike picture which the operator can compare with conventional charts or with radar maps. Such maps are obtained in advance by radar-equipped planes or ships that map the radar characteristics of the terrain for later use by the navigators of tactical ships or aircraft. Radar navigation is so accurate that it is used almost exclusively for high-altitude bombing. Of the specific radar and radar-type systems devised especially for navigational purposes, the principal types are ground-based beacons, loran, absolute altimeters, and Doppler radar.
The advantages to the buyer are obvious. Does it seem like a bad arrangement for the photographer? At first glance it might seem so, but when this same picture is sold over and over, perhaps fifty times in the course of years, the photographer eventually realizes a handsome total return for his effort in shooting the picture for stock sales.
That's why the stock picture photographer doesn't get rich quick, but enjoys a long-term income advantage for his work. Many a picture has earned, over a period of years, more than $1,000 in fees.
The picture was important because it constituted legal evidence. My would-be client didn't want to take a chance on entrusting this picture to just any photographer, because he was afraid the picture might be muffed.
I turned down the job for two reasons: first because I don't want my Camera to embarrass any woman and second because I didn't want to be dragged into court as a witness in the divorce case.
