2.1 Did You Know?

  • High wing aircraft are preferable to low wing aircraft for hand-held aerial photography.
  • The 'drop hatch' in aircraft such as the DeHavilland "Beaver" and "Otter" are convenient to use for vertical aerial photography without performing aircraft structural modifications.
  • Oblique aerial photography can preferably be done through an open window rather than through window glass/plastic.
  • Photography through the aircraft door opening (having removed the door prior to flight) is also frequently done.
  • Tethered balloons provide an inexpensive photography platform for long-term monitoring of a specific site.
