moshenko Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hi - I'm looking for a reputable company to perform low-level aerial photography on the Princeton University campus. In the past I have used blimp photography services in my local area (Toronto) but I don't have a contact in NJ. Can anyone recommend a good company/companies? Thanks!

Ernest Burden III Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I don't know of any companies without looking it up. But try asking Tim Nelson of StudioAMD. I think they recently did some work in that area that required photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikinman Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Assuming that you want blimp-type photography and not ortho-type photography from a plane, we have used Gary Lockhart from blimp photo several times in the NYC area. He's from Austin, TX, but he travels: http://www.blimpphoto.com If you want straight-down photography (such as for a site plan study), take a look at http://www.globexplorer.com/ You can order aerial photography of very good quality from them for download. Hope that helps. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For standard aerial/satellite photography, that would be available through the US Geological Survey (where much of Ian's link gets their existing stuff)in a variety of resolutions and wavelengths (IR, falsecolor, regular color), usually at 1m resolution, but I've found photo data down to .3m. Those marry nicely to USGS DEM landform models and topo maps via GIS software. The problem is the flyovers may have been in 1992, or 1998 and they may not show the best, current state of things. However, I assumed at the start that you wanted a perspective photo or footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much for the link; I'll check out Gary Lockhart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard@amdrendering.com Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Tim passed this on to me. Try this company http://www.jmsco.com/ Ask for Rob. They do aerial photography and video in the Philadelphia area (the closest city to Princeton). I'm not sure if they do blimps or not, but they seemed to know what they were doing and could refer you to another firm if needed. Services from NYC, Baltimore and Washington DC should have no problem doing work in Princeton so looks for resources from these areas as well.
