We had a perfect example here last week of how useful aerial photographers can be. in a nearby resort area, there was a propane leak overnight and several explosions, flattening a couple buildings including a century-old store and killed a couple people, injuring several more. An aerial photo was the only way to get a full look at the destroyed area. I know there are some aerials taken of the area in the daylight, we aired a shot on our tv news. And I'm sure there will be lawsuits and insurance wrangling not to mention the property owners...they'll need good aerials!
Not to make light of the devastation in this area and loss of life, but it would have been a fairly easy assignment for an aerial photographer.
Navigator, what type of photography do you specialize in?
