The Spectacular Aviation Photography
Aviation photography is the act of capturing images of aircraft, either in flight, or on the ground. Like other specialties in photography, aviation photography requires knowledge of special techniques and of the aircraft to be done properly. There are different types of aviation photography, including air-to-air, ground-to-air, ground-static, and remote photography. Military aviation photography, especially air to air, requires additional skills, as the photo and target aircraft often fly at velocities from 500 to 1000 knots, while under moderate to high G. The photographer also must wear a flight suit, flight boots, G-suit, flight helmet with communications system, oxygen mask and visor.
