| Q: What is Aerial
Photography? |
| A: Aerial photography consists of pictures
taken from the air from either a fixed-wing aircraft or a helicopter.
Fixed-wing aircraft are much less expensive, but helicopters can operate
at lower levels. Winged Eye operates it's own fixed-wing aircraft,
and can rent a helicopter if needed. |
| |
| Q: What is an
Oblique photograph? |
| A: An Oblique photograph is one taken
out of the window of the aircraft, looking down to the target on the
ground. |
| |
| Q: What is a Vertical
Photograph? |
| A: A Vertical photograph is one taken
with the camera pointed straight down at the ground, using a special
mounting in an aircraft modified with a camera belly port. |
| |
| Q: What is a Vertical
Mosaic photograph? |
| A: This is series of vertical photographs
taken at the same time, and merged together by special software. These
are used to allow wider coverage when the entire area can't be covered
by a single photograph, and/or to permit higher resolution of ground
features by flying lower and shooting a smaller area. |
| |
| Q: What is a Combo
Project ? |
| A: This is a series of both Vertical and
Oblique pictures of the same site on the same shoot. |
| |
| Q How do I tell you where my property
is? |
| A: One of the simplest ways is to use
Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/)
. Locate and zoom in on your property, then right-click on the
map - select 'What's Here' from the pop-up menu. The coordinates for
your location will appear in the search bar just above the map. |
| Q: How much does
it cost? |
|
A: This varies according to distance flown, type of pictures (Vertical,
Oblique, Vertical Mosaic
or Combo), number and size of prints, delivery type, digital images
on CD.
Prices also vary according to Photo Usage. Winged Eye, LLC retains
the copyright on all images (unless otherwise requested). Usage
pricing is determined by using the industry-standard FotoBiz software
package. This comes into play primarily for large distribution photos,
such as in magazines, advertisements, mass brochure quantities,
etc.
