Frequently Asked Questions: What is Aerial Photography Services' range of operation? I offer services within VA, MD, NC, and WV. More distant sites are considered on a case by case basis. How do the results compare with traditional aircraft/bucket truck services? The photos I offer from around 50 feet up to 500 feet up are most useful to represent a property favorably. The bucket truck services generally fall below that, and the airplane based services generally are limited above that. Take a look at the Photo Gallery. How soon after a photo session does a customer receive prints/CD's? A temporary website is set up for the client to download low resolution pictures, usually by the evening of the photo shoot. I mail the CD within one day. Prints, if ordered, are generally ready to ship or deliver within three days after a photo session. What is the nature of the copyrights on photos? All photographs taken are copyrighted as property of Aerial Photography Services LLC. I allow customers to print their own photos off of the provided CD, and to distribute the photos for marketing purposes via print or website. Photographs may not be re-sold by the customer however. How large of a lot can be framed in a picture taken by this unmanned helicopter? I operate the helicopter from ground level up to 500 feet up, so in very approximate terms the helicopter can take photos of up to 100 acres of land with a good downward angle. If higher altitude photography is desired I can accomplish that as well, contact me for further. What do sessions cost? Several factors determine this. The APS process is in many cases more affordable than using a fullscale aircraft; that being said the main reason to use APS is to get a better point of view and quality than you may be accustomed to. What are the available photo editing/modification services? The photographs are captured in a low compression JPEG format, or captured in a RAW format, and hand processed (digitally) to a JPEG. Unwanted objects may be removed, grass can be made more appealing, and skies can be replaced. How long has APS been in business? Development of the concept and unmanned helicopter systems began as a business project by Eric Fernandez in late 2003, an operational system has been in service since 2004. Some systems that APS has developed over the years include camera mount design, helicopter alternator development, and a functional twin engined helicopter design.
