Aerial Photography Drones And Video Recording From Air

By Elizabeth Hughes


While photographers have been taking pictures since the invention of the camera, photographers now have even more choices when it comes to equipment. In one case, this is the use of Aerial Photography Drones. Most often associated with the military, drones have been around for decades.

Only recently did photographers start using these drones in conjunction with taking pictures as part of a business or hobby. While this is the case, taking photos from the air is something that has been practiced since before World War I. As such, while the use of unmanned drones is something new, there have been manned flights with cameras used in art and military operations for years.

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.

Later, kites were used to shoot photography which would later be used in postcards in the early 1900s. Pioneered by E. D. Archibald in 1882, the young man decided to attach a camera to a kite with a timer and take pictures from the air. After which Arthur Batut published a book on the methods in 1890, thus resulting in the production of these early post cards.

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.

It was shortly before World War when taking pictures of the ground from air became popular. Before that time, while people had knowledge of the activity, most did not approve. Though, after aerial photography became useful in preventing a number deaths, it appears that the activity found more support from the general public.

While there is a great deal of aerial spying still used by all branches of the military, the practice has now found a place in mainstream society. As a result, whether using a camera drone or taking pictures from an airplane, helicopter or hot air balloon, there are now laws which apply to all these areas.

When it comes to laws related to this activity, most vary by area. As such, before setting out to fly a drone and shoot pictures, it is important that anyone doing so is aware of any laws or restrictions associated with the practice in the area. Whereas, most often those doing so from airplanes and helicopters are going to be licensed pilots whom are well aware of these and other laws related to aerial photography. While Balloon operators and passengers can often take photographs of ground and scenery while on board, there may be restrictions when it comes to filming video.
