Secrets of Successful Aerial Photography

Résumé du livre

Taking successful aerial photographs demands knowledge of techniques and equipment quite different from those familiar to photographers used to getting their shots with both feet on the ground. This book explores the unique characteristics and conditions of aerial photography, including compensating for changes in altitude and the motion of a plane, selecting the right film, and dealing with cloud cover, poor sun angle, water glare, and atmospheric haze. Information is provided on essential camera systems, lenses, motor drives, gyro stabilizers, grips, viewfinders, and panoramic cameras that improve aerial shots. Tips on identifying subjects, hiring a pilot, planning flights, and marketing aerial photos are also included.
