Photography can be divided into many categories. The most
popular among them is the aerial photography. It has changed the way we look
the world. In this type of photography, the camera is held high above the
ground. It can be the rooftop of a high building or a tower, aero plane, hot
air balloons, satellites and much more places. This type of photography can be
done in two ways. Either the photographer has to go up with the camera to a
high place from where he can take an aerial image or the camera should be sent
artificially with the help of a balloon or an aero plane. Hence, automatic or
remote control can bring down the aerial image for us.
The common uses of aerial photography include military planning, mapping, production of motion pictures, environmental studies. People love to watch a football match from high above the ground. In case of making aerial maps, roofs of different towers are often used to capture the image of an area. After capturing the images, panorama view can be applied in order to merge these images to form one large image to demonstrate a large area. There are professionals who do this kind of photography but a child can do this too with the help of a kite.
Aerial photography has certain benefits. Till date, it seems
to be the perfect way to study the topography of a region consisting of
mountains or volcanoes. In certain cases, it is the only answer to stay safe.
It is only with the help of this part of photography that we can get a hint
about flood, volcanic eruptions, and earthquake. Certain places where people
can’t survive are within the reach of our hand through aerial photographs. This
segment of photography has helped mankind to know about the surface of Moon and
Mars as well which we wouldn’t have even imagined if there was no such thing
called aerial photograph. Images taken from satellites help the weather
department of a country to forecast the conditions of the future weather.
Moreover, we can find a place on the map in no time due to the aerial
photograph of that place. The world is no longer unknown to us.
The one and only disadvantage of aerial photography is that
paparazzi use this technique mostly through roof survey in order to get into a celebrity’s private life.
The demand of aerial photographers is increasing day by day and as a result many professional
photographers are taking aerial photography seriously. Students too, now a day
are beginning to gain interest in this part of photography. We all hope that as
time passes, aerial photography will take us to a new height.
