         Aerial photographic services include the aircraft, pilot and photo supplies and may be air to air or air to ground, both oblique and “near” vertical. My current airplane does not have a camera port in the belly, so near vertical is banked over at considerable angle and is not intended for mapping or scaling. The flat rate charge includes up to :30 (thirty) minutes of "local" flight time. Additional flight time, such as ferrying to and from distant locations, is charged at the rate of $105.00 ($8.75 / five Minutes), per tachometer hour. Such photography is economically impractical beyond a 200 mile radius of Lansing, Michigan unless I have other reasons to be in the area. All photography today is done with a Canon EOS 7D MK II (G) camera with a 21.5 MB file size in Canon CR-2 “Raw” images. You may wish to view “Camera Evolution” under “About the Author—My Cameras.”
