lol. i understand your frustration however once you do it once, you'll be an expert.
ok, you're playing TMO_BH. yes, BH inserted targets that will always be present when you play the mission. in stock and other mods, there are photo missions that do NOT have purposeful targets at the destination.
when you are looking at the mission through the ME, notice that the target is actually named "Target". it was built and placed where it is purposefully. lock onto it through your periscope while you are within range of the zone and the camera icon, on the periscope toolbar, will activate and allow you to take your photo.
ok, a couple of details.....
photo objective will have a zone (circular), which may or may not have a graphic when you are playing. the player must be in that zone or the camera icon will not activate. some modders will use a zone marker so that the player can see it when he arrives onsite, others do not. and there is no standard for the radius of the zone circle. it can be 3,5,7,8 thousand yards.
when i refer to the camera icon being activated i mean that when a player has fulfilled all of the qualifying requirements to take the photo, passing your mouse over the camera icon will change the color/lighting of the icon. that is the player's sign that he can actually take a photo.
i hope this helps.
