Aerial photography is the taking of photographs of the ground from an elevated position. The term usually refers to images in which the camera is not supported by a ground-based structure. Cameras may be hand held or mounted, and photographs may be taken by a photographer, triggered remotely or triggered automatically. Platforms for aerial photography include fixed-wingaircraft, helicopters, balloons, blimps and dirigibles, rockets, kites, poles,parachutes,vehicle mounted poles .
