There are different methods in taking aerial photo. On way to take breath-taking sky shots is to use kite photography or KAP wherein a camera is attached to a kite. The kites are a low cost way to create gorgeous stills and are typically restricted by the wind and weather. Experienced aerial photographers who use KAP use a bit of physics so they can take pictures to their full advantage, regardless of the location or angle.
BAP, or balloon aerial photography, is another strategy of aerial photography. In replacement of a kit, the one taking aerial photo would use a balloon instead to take his camera into the sky. What’s good about balloons is that it can still be used even if there are no winds. On the other hand, too much wind can make this very challenging for the shutter bug. Some find these easier than kite flying, though it really depends on the photographer’s practice and preference.
HAP or helicopter aerial photography is used by hiring a helicopter and taking either the video or the photo from the sky. This method is best used when creating a documentary or simply taking a video as it’s drivable and it can be manoeuvred into different angles and locations. Many photographers or videographers rent choppers because they find it easier to control the lucidity of their shots in this way. Some use RCAP or remote controlled aerial photography, using a toy that is remote controlled in taking great shots from the air.
