Sample Aerial Photo's

Here are two photos that will give you an idea of what we can offer in an aerial photograph. We use a Minolta DiMAGE A2 digital camera with 8 megs, which can produce photos of 8" x 10" with 285 pixels / inch or a photo up to 34" x 42" at 96 pixels/inch resolution.

The first photo is of the northwest corner of the Main St. and Elmore Ave. intersection [McDonald's & Walgreens]. It was taken at 1000 feet above ground level at 1/1250 of a second shutter speed, with the camera set at a 45 degree oblique angle.

For some tips on viewing / printing these photos, see the note at the bottom of this page.

To save a picture after downloading; right click on it - click "save picture as", and select the folder to save it in.

The second photo covers the downtown area of Crossville from City Hall to the County Office building. It was an overhead shot taken at an altitude of 2000 feet above ground level at a shutter speed of 1/1000 second.

Viewing and printing notes:

Viewing:  If you want to see the large photos in their original size, you will have to disable the default setting in Internet Explorer:

Click on the 'Tools' icon; Click on the 'Internet Options'; Click on the 'Advanced' tab; about half way down, under 'Multimedia' - uncheck the item 'Enable Automatic Image Resizing'. Now the pictures will stay at their original size, instead of shrinking to fit the screen.

Printing: If you wish to resize a photo, do it by changing the 'resolution', not the picture size directly. For example, the MacDonald's picture above has an original resolution of 283 pixels/inch - just right for an 8" x 11" borderless print. For a 4" x 6" print, changing the resolution to 600 should do it. For a 16" x 22" photo, a resolution of 140 pixels/inch should do it. If you directly change the photo size, you may end up with a 'blurred image'.
