Low Altitude Helicopter Aerial Photography

Peaks View utilizes helicopters for low altitude custom aerial photography. When conducting our aerial photo flight will we fly two low altitude orbits which gives us a wide range of perspectives to shoot. A minimum of 16 high resolution (21.1 Mega-Pixel) photographs will be taken, more if requested. These photographs will document the entire site and including a couple of close-up shots of key details. All images are photographed in digital format and will be delivered on a CD-Rom in full resolution.

Image quality is our top focus! All aerial images are digitally retouched to insure vivid colors, sharp details and high dynamic for maximum impact.

Peaks View's aerial photography process differs from our competors...
  -We avoid fixed wing aircraft which are restricted to flying above 1,000 ft.
  -We avoid telephoto lenses which flatten depth of field.
