Aerial Photography and aerial videography are a most valuable art in todays society. We use the work of aerial photographers for more than just simply beautiful photos or landscapes. Aerial photographers and aerial videographers are used for such things as surveying sites, movie shots, business planning, magazines, city events and much much more. There are also numerous methods in which aerial photographers take these awesome photographs.
Below we will discuss the various types of aerial photography and common uses for these photographs from the sky.
Kite Aerial Photography – Kite aerial photography or KAP is a method that involves the flying of kites in conjunction with cameras to produce amazing sky shots. These sky shots are usually limited by the wind and weather but they are a low cost means to producing beatufil aerial photographers. Kite aerial photographers are not only resourceful in taking photos from the sky, they also have to be crafted at kite flying combined with a touch of physics to perform what they do.
Balloon Aerial Photography – Balloon aerial photography or BAP is a method that involves balloons to take their cameras high up in to the sky. Unlike kites, balloons aren’t as disabled by the lack of wind, however too much wind may make this a challenge for the average balloon aerial photographer. This is a very great method in which it doesn’t make a whole lot of noise and is what is considered “low-impact” on the area around them.
Helicopter Aerial Photography – Helicopter aerial photography or HAP is photography using a helicopter to take photographs or video. The benefit of using a driveable vehicle is that it allows movement which is a great resource for the videographer. Aerial Videography is much like its photographic counterpart only as the name suggests it involves video instead of photos. By using a helicopter they can take shots from inside the vehicle providing excellent control and clarity of shots. The disadvantage is that this isn’t what would be considered low-impact shooting.
Radio Controlled Aerial Photography – Radio controlled helicopter aerial photography or RCAP as the name suggests is the method used to take photographs or video using remote controlled flying helicopters. This is a cost effective means, it is relatively low impact and gives the user control of almost any situation. Many different remote controlled aerial photography companies have popped-up all over the united states from Gresham, Beaverton, Clackamas and Portland Oregon to New York City, New Jersy New York and everywhere in between. It is a both fun and exciting means to take aerial shots allowing a full-sized SLR Camera to take flight. The definition of accuracy, low impact and affordability.
Any way you choose when choosing a qualified aerial photographer, you can expect beautiful sky shots in almost any terrain.

Maybe amateurs know this too……..HOW do you make pictures like this???

If I was to duplicate a background and floor like that in my house. Is it just white cloth photoshopped or what exactly is done to make the picture come out like that? I’m asking for doing it with people.
If you can list equipment, etc needed for that and technique that would be great.

What is the difference between an 18-105mm lens and an AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D lens? These are both Nikon products. An explanation would be great. Thank you!

The lens is this one: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/97… and I bought a 350D Canon body, (mistake thinking it would cost less instead I’ve waited and spent forever looking for a lens to go on it ) anyways, I purchased it thinking hell it can’t be that bad and I purchased at lower price from Amazon for 57 dollars instead of 80 from a store just as reputable as B&H so no worries there. Regardless, I was curious if anyone that has or does own this lens opinions, usefulness, longevity, etc.
Thanks!
P.S.
This is a side hobby I decided to start, my main photos will be of landscape but can range to just about anything that interests me, I don’t have a very good eye for detail that is with taking pictures, but I’m working on it

I was thinkin’ about buying this camera soon since it’s tax time and all coming up…I had a Sony Cybershot (lower end model) and it served my purposes, but now I’m working as a photojournalist and after using their staff camera I find the P&S a little limiting (plus the LCD broke!). I figured it was time to upgrade.
PS I know the camera I want is also P&S, but I simply want a higher quality bang for my buck without spending several thousand dollars for an SLR. Any knowledge on this model? Good? Horrible? My fiance just got a canon rebel and I assume it’s similar (if not slightly more constricting). Feedback appreciated!
