Many Options for Aerial Photography
Once you've decided the type of aerial photo you
need, then you need to get a bit more specific as to
what that aerial photo should do for you, the
resolution needed, the use - whether it be for web
use or print, and if print, how big? Wall size or a 16
x 20 framed print? For instance, a wall sized print
will require special cameras to capture the view, or
in the case of a vertical image - we will need to
shoot multiple images to stitch together to create a
final image ready for printing.

Note: A single oblique image
from 12,000 ft covers a much
wider area than if shot vertically.
If I point the camera straight
down from 12,000 ft, I can only
capture 3 miles by 2 miles,
unless we fly multiple flight lines
and shoot multiple images per
flight line. This can be done, but
the price is substantially higher.
