    Aerial Photography Drones And Shooting From The Air

    By Elizabeth Hughes


    Some photographers prefer to stay and take pictures of scenes on the ground. Whereas, there are now others who wish to use Aerial Photography Drones to shoot scenery from the air. In most cases, past use of manned and unmanned aircraft have been used in military operations.

    For, only recently did businesses and hobbyists begin using unmanned drones to take pictures. While using drones to shoot photography and video is something new, the history behind aerial photography dates back to the mid-late 1800s. In fact, many pictures were taken from the air long before, during and after World War I.

    The beginning of this type of photography began in France in 1862. The first picture believed to have been taken was that of "Nadar, " shot above Paris by a French Artist. As that photograph has been lost, most often the earliest photograph of this type is known as "Boston, as the Eagle and Wild Goose See It, " a photograph shot by Samuel Archer King and Wallace Black in 1860.

    Kites, armed with cameras were later used to take pictures from the sky. In fact, a kite was one of the first the military used take capture pictures of enemies and offensive movements on the ground. Although, much more popular and associated with kites at the time was the publication of several post cards which were developed and designed from various images which the kites recorded while in flight.

    Once Samuel Franklin Cody developed this technology, it became notable with military officials around the world. After which, the technology began being used by different countries. It was also during this time that the ability to shoot moving pictures from the ground was discovered. At which time, the instrument that had been attached to the kite was placed on the underside of an aircraft which could record moving pictures while in flight.

    Later, taking photos from the air became quite popular during War World I. It was during this time that cameras began to record movements of enemies and defense response. After which, map sketching and photography from the air became more accepted than it had been in the past.

    While a great deal of spying still takes place with manned and unmanned military drones, there are often different laws related to individuals. As such, whether using a camera drone or simply one that flies and captures data, it is important to understand the laws associated with different areas in which the drone will take flight. For, while some penalties may be minor, there are others in which an individual could be convicted of a felony, especially if flying a drone in a restricted area.

    With new laws related to height and locations in which these drones can be used, artists and hobbyists are now more limited. Before sending a drone up into the air with a camera or otherwise, it is important to check all laws and restrictions in the area. For, there are some instances that when flying within a range of a specific airport, building or location, that doing so could be considered a misdemeanor or felony, at least in the United States.
