Skyshots Aerial Photography (Pty) Ltd is the number one provider of ground based aerial photography in South Africa. Utilising state of the art digital equipment and trained operators we are able to provide high impact elevated photographs for a wide range of applications throughout the country. Ground based aerial photography involves taking digital photographs from the top of a 15 meter ( 52 foot) mast. We use an 8 megapixel digital camera with a robotic pan and tilt head to capture the best possible image. The camera is connected via a USB interface cable to a laptop computer at ground level. Specialised software allows us to operate the camera functions from the laptop. A real time image is displayed on the computer screen to allow perfect shot composition before the image is captured and downloaded directly to the hard drive on the computer. From here it can be digitally manipulated to further enhance the quality before being printed, burned to CD, or transmitted electronically. Since there are no external power requirements the system can be used in any location. Photography is a powerful marketing tool and information source. However, getting the right shot from ground level can prove frustrating even to the most seasoned professional! A better overall perspective can be obtained by photographing a subject from an oblique angle. It conveys a three dimensionality that cannot be achieved with traditional aerial and ground techniques. The image therefore allows more information such as relative size and layout to be displayed. For property marketing purposes it also shows surrounding areas such as gardens, swimming pools, parking facilities etc. PLEASE CONTACT ME ON steve@stevebailey.co.za or sjbcape@mweb.co.za PHONE +27825546296
