Aerial Photo Requests?
I am shooting Aerial Photo's tomorrow morning. Weather should be perfect. If you or your business needs any aerial photos, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will send you the details.
Besides the commission work I am doing, I plan on getting several of my own photos around town as well. I will post them on here as time permits.
It should be a small red helicopter, if you see one, that's me. It looks like my avitar photo, but red. You may see it again on Sunday above the ballpark too!

Re: Aerial Photo Requests?
I am not sure this is the picture, but it would be cool if you could get an aerial view of the stadium full with the downtown skyline in the background. I am not sure how low you are allowed to go.

Re: Aerial Photo Requests?
I think I remember you mentioning that the one pilot flew really low but the last time you went, they wouldn't go that low. Any idea how high up this photo was? I just like the lower altitude because it makes the buildings downtown appear larger.Brad wrote:I believe the pilot sad 800' I planned on getting that shot for sure.

Re: Aerial Photo Requests?
I like the lower angle because I like some building to break up the horizon line. I would guess that one is between 600 and 700 feet.skinzfan23 wrote:I think I remember you mentioning that the one pilot flew really low but the last time you went, they wouldn't go that low.

Yeah that is prob true, judging that it looks like you were about even with the First National tower, which is 634'.Brad wrote: I would guess that one is between 600 and 700 feet.

Re: Aerial Photo Requests?
I don't know for sure, but isn't it true that if you're looking horizontal, the horizon is always even with your eye level? That would put you at about 2/3 the way up FNB, or approx. 350-400 ft.Brad wrote:Lol, that's what I based my guess off of.skinzfan23 wrote:Yeah that is prob true, judging that it looks like you were about even with the First National tower, which is 634'.Brad wrote: I would guess that one is between 600 and 700 feet.
That's what they always told us in perspective drawing class anyway.
I can't wait to see the new pics!

...and then they were gone.

Not sure if you'll get the opportunity, but it's always interesting to see the UNMC, Midtown, and downtown "skylines" in the same shot.

I was hoping to get that again also. I haven't been over UNO the past couplet times so I don't have it. Should be able to get it tomorrow.ShawJ wrote:Not sure if you'll get the opportunity, but it's always interesting to see the UNMC, Midtown, and downtown "skylines" in the same shot.
That might be hard depending on which runway Eppley is using. If they are using 36/18, it may be tight if there is traffic, hopefully its a slow day and/or they are using 32/41.Linkin5 wrote:Picture from CB with completed play land park with DT and stadium would be cool.

There was a second helicopter in the area today scanning power lines.
I circled the zoo/rosenblatt a couple times and we weren't moving that fast.
