plane aerial photography - 02-06-2009, 12:20 PM


I have tons of experience shooting from helicopters, but never from a plane. I'm shooting a property that is just huge and need a directly downward photo, I was thinking I would stitch shots together for a massive panorama.

I know there are planes out there with holes, or glass on the bottom. Anyone know what I'm talking abotu or know of anyone near DFW that has such a thing?

Skydivers don't have doors. Strap down and hang out.

Speaking of pano stitching...I was watching Treasure Hunters last night and they showed a guy stitching a site map pano taken by their ROV of the HMS Victory wreck. If I remember right they said it was over 2000 shots used in the pano.
