Aerial Photography

Ordnance Survey’s aerial photographs show you a new perspective - a bird's-eye view of the use of your chosen location during daylight hours. With superb clarity and sharpness, they clearly show you surface features - buildings, boundaries, water features and vegetation - not as symbols but as they really look. It gives you the real picture, providing essential information that cannot be represented on our conventional maps - for example, whereas our maps present detailed information on empty roads, our aerial photography can demonstrate the impact that car parking along the same roads has on pedestrian or traffic access. The photos are so accurate and reliable they have become key to Ordnance Survey’s map revision system, helping them update 30,000 maps every year. There is a whole range of uses:-

• Project planning and analysis
• Investigating boundary disputes
• Reference and educational resource purposes
• Land and estate management
• Boardroom presentation (frame prints)
• Gifts

Current information
All the surface features and heights are present, and because Ordnance Survey use aerial photos to update their own maps, you may even see information in advance of its addition to some of their conventional map products. You will also be seeing an area as it really is, with every detail, even those not shown on maps.

Excellent image clarity and sharpness
To ensure you get the best quality photos, most are taken during the long daylight hours of spring and summer. The superb clarity and sharpness of the images give you a clear and uninterrupted view of everything at ground level, making it ideal for enlargements of your area of interest. The quality is so good in fact they can be framed to hang in your office or to present as a gift.
