Oblique or "birds-eye" photography

These views are usually taken with conventional medium format or digital cameras to provide colour photographs or digital files which are then often used for information or marketing purposes. The views provided can range from "close-up" views of small areas to overall "wide-angle" aspects covering very considerable areas. Rates per site range from £375 to £720 for an individual location depending on its location. Sites situated in near proximity to major airports or within the centre of major cities (i.e. London, Manchester) frequently command the higher rates.

Vertical Survey photography

This is a very specialised field undertaken with sophisticated digital or large-format cameras to provide an extremely accurate image of the earths surface. This data is then utilised to provide maps depicting all surface details together with altitude information in the form of contours and spot-heights. Such photography is usually commissioned by clients requiring the ultimate in accuracy for map production and each project, because of its complexity, is quoted accordingly.

Vertical Reconnaissance photography

Similar in many aspects to the Item above with the exception that a medium format camera is used,normally out of a single-engined aircraft, with the result that the images provided are normally insufficient to provide very accurate mapping. This system is ideal however for certain uses such as Quarry surveys, Traffic monitoring, Route planning etc etc. and many Aggregate Operators and Utility providers appreciate the lower costs incurred.
