About Aerial Photography

Aerial photography is the taking of photographs from above with a camera mounted, or hand held, on an aircraft, helicopter, balloon, rocket, kite, skydiver or similar vehicle. It was first practiced by the French photographer and balloonist Nadar in 1858. The use of aerial photography for military purposes was expanded during World War I by aviators such as Fred Zinn. Aerial photography is used in cartography, land-use planning, archaeology, movie production, environmental studies, espionage, commercial advertising, conveyancing, and other fields. Aerial photos are often processed by a GIS system. Recent advances in radio controlled models has made it possible for radio controlled model aircraft to conduct low-altitude aerial photography. This has benefited real-estate advertising, where commercial and residential properties are the photographic subject. Full-size, manned aircraft are prohibited from low flyovers of populated locations. Miniature-size model aircraft offer full photographic access to these previously restricted areas. Of course, miniature vehicles do not replace full-size aircraft, as full-size aircraft are capable of longer flight-times, higher altitudes, and greater equipment payloads.Because anything capable of being viewed from a public space is considered outside the realm of privacy, aerial photography may legally document features and occurrences on private property.

There are two basic types of aerial photography, oblique (scenic) and near vertical (map-like). Each kind of photography provides its own perspective on the subject and/or view you wish to have photographed.

Oblique aerial photography can be either: low, medium or high.Low oblique photos are taken with the camera inclined at anywhere from 20-40 degrees from vertical. Medium oblique photos are taken with the camera inclined at anywhere from 40-50 degrees from vertical. These both are often taken from a high-wing airplane helicopter, kite or a blimp and have the following characteristics:
(1) Covers a relatively small area.
(2) The subject of these photos would give you a view similar to what you might see if standing on a tall building.
(3) No scale is applicable to the entire photograph and distance cannot be measured.
(4) Parallel lines on the ground are not parallel on these types of photos.
(5) Kites and blimps offer a quiet method of taking aerial photos. They are perfect for no fly zones.High oblique photos are taken with the camera inclined at about 50-60 degrees from vertical. They are taken from a high-wing airplane and/or helicopter and have the following characteristics:
(1) Covers a very large area.
(2)The subject of these photos would give you a view similar to what you might see on a commercial flight.
(3) The view varies from the very familiar to the unfamiliar, depending on the height at which the photo is taken.
(4) No scale is applicable to the entire photograph and distance cannot be measured.
(5) Parallel lines on the ground are not parallel on these types of photos.Oblique type photos are ideal for presentation views of your home and property. They have also been successful in helping with business advertising such as car dealerships to show quantity and selection of vehicles, real estate to show size and layout of homes and businesses, motels and resorts to show pools and other attractions, colleges to show size of campuses, locations to shoot scenes for movies, natural landmarks which ground photos do not do them enough justice, etc.Near vertical photographs are taken with the camera pointed straight down or nearly straight down. Near vertical type photos are taken from an airplane, helicopter or satellite and are ideal for real estate also, like for lakefront homes to give a better idea of location of a home to where the water is and city planning needs, like plotting housing and business developments, to make all kinds of maps, and to show geographical changes over time, define accurate land boundaries, golf courses, to assess damages from natural disasters, and of course, for military purposes, etc.Satellite and/or Aerial photographs are searched by everyone including landowners, homeowners, travelers, vacationers, commercial businesses and for professionals like teachers, architects, engineers, scientists, geologists, appraisers, movie producers, realtors and investigators.
