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.

As there are specific laws related to the activity of drone usage, with or without cameras, it is important to know the laws in any area in which one is planning on launching a drone. In most cases, balloon operators and pilots will be well aware of these laws with regard to the area in which one flies. Whereas, individuals launching drones from ground level with the intent on taking pictures from the sky often do not know or understand these laws.

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.

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 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.

As there are a number of laws related to drone activity, it is important that users understand these laws. While this is the case, there are a number of children who have no knowledge of these laws. It is important that parents of younger users have a discussion about these laws to prevent a child from flying a drone in a restricted area. Otherwise, the parents could face huge fines and penalties if a child were to break these laws.
