Aerial Photography Information for 2007:
This is the second year I have focused exclusively on high quality digital photography. The quality of the digital camera equipment is now so good, standard 8 X 12 prints will produce results with the same quality that film ever did (maybe even a little better). This allows for significantly greater flexibility and increased photos captured, which allows for more chances to capture the perfect shot. Also digital has the advantage of being able to be worked in an enhancement program before going to print. I also carry a laptop for photo downloads and delivery of the photos anywhere instantly. Real estate people, insurance companies, law firms, website developers and project managers will like this instant service when time is important. Although my main camera setup is now high-end digital equipment, I will still shoot 35mm film as backup or when requested.

I take a minimum of 30 photos of the subject property from different altitudes and perspectives.
Every aerial shoot I do will guarantee you several high quality photos of the subject property.

About the process:
These days because of computers and high speed Internet connections most of the aerial shoots I have done in the last couple of years have taken place without ever having an actual meeting with my clients. Every detail including my payment can be done through email, phone conversations, money transfers and PayPal. It is an effortless process and usually within 2 or 3 phone conversations our deal is done. Once I have taken your photos I contact you and email a few digital samples. Once our deal is complete I release the batch of digital photos in their full format and size through FTP access. You can then use the photos any way you wish.
I have clients as far away as Orlando Florida, Decatur Illinois, Seattle, Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver Island that I never met in person. It can be just that easy!

No other type of picture makes people stop and look more than an aerial.
A bird's eye view is just simply not available to very many people, and even when shown an aerial picture of their own home, many have to look twice to recognize what it is they are seeing. Aerial photos can become priceless and often are. Older aerial photos often become so valuable they end up in local museums. Think back to some time when you were able to view an aerial photo of your home town that was taken 50 or 75 years ago, or even 15 years ago. The aerial photo poster of Vancouver British Columbia taken in 1986 for Expo year is a couple of decades old, and now is considered a collectors item. For those of you that know Vancouver BC from long ago, I have an aerial photo I took back in 1976. It shows the old Empire Stadium before it was torn down. It also shows the False Creek Expo '86 site as the heavy industrial area that it was. Almost everyone takes pictures of their cars, boats, and of course their home and property. An aerial photo of your home, property or business will be valuable to you.

Some examples of aerial photography Use:

Website Design:
Using aerial photos of your business in your company website portrays a serious professional presence. Not many website owners have taken the initiative to add an aerial view. Large auto or RV dealers find an aerial the only way to show the size of their operations.  

Real Estate Sales:
Nothing features a waterfront property or cottage on a bluff better than an aerial from over the water, or looking down on the setting from a 45 degree angle. Acreages from the air, show a map of the property that is priceless when deciding building location and general land use. Proposed subdivisions can't be without an aerial to show everyone, from planning departments to bankers.

Law Firms and Insurance Companies:
An aerial overview of an accident site gives a clear perspective of curves in the road or other hazards not easily identifiable from the ground. Litigation over land use and property encroachment, an overview can make these issues easy to identify.

Timber Stands:
Virtually no better way to show potential logging contractors or log buyers the type of timber or the density. 

Large Construction Projects:
As a progressive series of photos to track the progress from the foundation, to completion. These can be priceless at the end of large project. 

RV Parks and Campgrounds:
Enlargement of a RV Park aerial photo in the front office is the best way to show the sites available and how to get around in the park.

Ranches and Farms:
Cattle herds or grain farms, and anything in between. The view from the air is a record of the on-going business. Many Ranchers get an update aerial photo every year.

Golf Courses - Fish Farms - Ski Resorts - Wineries.
Almost everyone with a business or a property will find a valuable use for an Aerial Photo.
