'''Aerial photography''' is the taking of photographs of the ground from an elevated position. The term usually refers to images in which the camera is not supported by a ground-based structure. Cameras may be hand held or mounted, and photographs may be taken by a photographer, triggered remotely or triggered automatically. Platforms for aerial photography include fixed-wing [[aircraft]], [[helicopter]]s, [[Balloon (aircraft)|balloons]], [[blimp]]s and [[dirigible]]s, [[rocket]]s, [[Kite aerial photography|kites]], poles, [[parachuting|parachutes]], and vehicle mounted poles. Aerial photography should not be confused with [[Air-to-Air Photography]], when aircraft serve both as a photo platform and subject. | '''Aerial photography''' is the taking of photographs of the ground from an elevated position.
