Photographer II Job - (Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD)

Position overview: Uses standard digital still and video cameras, commonly available lighting equipment and related techniques to document testing which involve limited problems of speed, motion, color contrast, or lighting. Based on clear-cut objectives, determines shutter speeds, lens settings and filters, camera angles, exposure times, and instrumentation locations. Typically, the subjects documented are similar to those at level I, but the technical aspects require more skill. May assist with entry level digital high-speed cameras for simple shots such as moving equipment or small arm firings, where available simple artificial lighting is used. Ordinarily, there is opportunity for repeats shots or for retakes if the original exposure is unsatisfactory. The imagery will be checked in progress or on completion by a senior optical technician. Consults with supervisor or more experienced photographer when problems are anticipated.
