Narrative:

I acted as a safety pilot for an aerial photographer who was taking low-level pictures of farmsteads. During this time, I feel the aerial photographer involved possibly violated far 91.119 (C) on occasion while maneuvering the aircraft for a picture. After repeated attempts to inform the photographer that farmers do not appreciate their cattle, etc, being flown over so low, and no changes took place in how he flew -- I am no longer acting as safety pilot for him.

Narrative: I ACTED AS A SAFETY PLT FOR AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHER WHO WAS TAKING LOW-LEVEL PICTURES OF FARMSTEADS.

AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO INFORM THE PHOTOGRAPHER THAT FARMERS DO NOT APPRECIATE THEIR CATTLE, ETC, BEING FLOWN OVER SO LOW, AND NO CHANGES TOOK PLACE IN HOW HE FLEW -- I AM NO LONGER ACTING AS SAFETY PLT FOR HIM.
