Aerial photography has an interesting history. Although aerial photography has been around for a long time, the technology used has changed dramatically over time. Aerial photography has evolved far beyond shooting from planes and helicopters. Using drones, you can take high-quality images from above that can’t be captured from ground level.
Since aerial photography is now used for many commercial and recreational purposes, this blog post will highlight some of the benefits of aerial photography so that you can decide if it is right for your business or project.
Unique Perspective:
Aerial photography is unique in the ability to capture images that would not otherwise be visible from the ground. Increasingly popular in the marketing arsenals of many different types of businesses, those who use this technology have gained a huge competitive advantage. It is possible to use images from this creative perspective to wow prospective clients and also impress potential investors instead of simply using traditional photography to showcase products or projects. It has proven very effective in targeting niche markets such as waterfront property owners, luxury home owners, etc. in the world of property and real estate.
Technology that is economical
Recent advances in technology have led to a dramatic reduction in the cost of capturing aerial images by using drones instead of full-scale equipment like helicopters and cranes. Because drones operate at a fraction of the cost of manned aircraft and eliminate huge fuel costs, many businesses and projects have been able to benefit from aerial photography that was previously cost-prohibitive.
It is often necessary to obtain aerial photographs in locations where manned aviation would be unsafe and satellite imagery would not provide the required detail. If operated correctly and under strict safety guidelines, drones are the perfect tool to capture aerial imagery on these types of projects while ensuring the project’s safety remains a priority.
Unobstructed Access at High Altitude
Unobstructed access to otherwise hard-to-see areas is a huge advantage in many applications. Drönarfoto, particularly aerial photography, can be taken without being hindered by obstructions on the ground, such as trees, buildings, or other obstructions.
Scale and proportion accuracy
In applications such as the creative marketing of luxury homes in the property sector, large-scale construction, and military intelligence, aerial photography provides an accurate representation of size and proportion. Surprisingly, it has also been successful in settling legal battles over land disputes and property boundaries. Aerial images can also be used to compare the characteristics of different sides of an object or terrain. Comparing two variations of a terrain with mountains in one direction and flat land in the other, there is no distortion because they are side by side.
Synoptic View
The ability to see the terrain from the birds-eye is advantageous in many applications. These images have become increasingly important, especially in fields that use remote sensing. For instance, topographical maps, engineering, and environmental science are all uses for these images. A grand-scale perspective can also be used to monitor the progress of construction projects and other structures, which is not always possible during in-person site visits.
