Besides the personal history of each stunning shot, Hawkes also advises on how to take aerial photographs; how to charter small aircraft; basic flying rules; what equipment to use--film, filters, format, lenses and gyro stabilising units to overcome vibration. He also discusses problems specific to this form of photography, including aircraft height restrictions, battery problems in extreme cold and safety issues. Neither the air-bound professional or the sofa-bound amateur could fail to be spellbound by this visually compelling collection. Retail Price $35.00 Aerial Arts Price $29.50 Quantity:
