Return To Photography Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Types Of Aerial Photos By Mike Drews Aerial photography is broken down into two main types, oblique and vertical configuration. Oblique refers to pictures taken the side of an aircraft and vertical images are taken from directly above the subject being photographed. Vertical aerial photography is normally used in real estate advertising. The process of taking photographs in the air from an aircraft is called aviation photography, as is taking pictures of aircrafts themselves. The main types of aviation photography are: Air-to-air Photography This type of photograph is used most often in advertising and entails taking pictures of an airplane from different angles. Of course the photographer is in another aircraft, since there has to be at least two aircrafts involved in air-to-air photography. This type of photography is practiced mainly at air shows. Remote sensing Remote sensing is used to gather information on the environment and other land base features from a distance, particularly from an aircraft in the sky using special equipment to gather and collect data. This explanation is one of many, but is best suited to aerial photographs. Satellite One major use of satellite photos is to gather environmental images so that scientists and environmentalists can track changes on the earths surface. NASA and the U.S. Department of the Interior are two of the major agencies involved in satellite scanning in the United States. Kite The camera is mounted into a cradle and secured to a kite and sent flying; the pictures are taken by controlling the camera with a remote control. In some cases the camera is programmed to automatically snap pictures once the kite reaches a certain altitude. Also included in aviation photography is the use of model planes and helicopters to take pictures. These are just some of the main types of aerial photographs.
