Aerial Photography

Photos taken from the air may be used to document the terrain below, get a bird's eye view of construction in process, or record objects in flight. Aerial photographers have found many creative ways to get their cameras aloft. They may shoot from airplanes, helicopters, balloons, kites or even remotely controlled flying models.
