Above All - Ohio | Services | Obliques

Oblique aerial photos are the most common type of aerial. They are taken looking out the side of the aircraft and provide a downward angled perspective of a site. Oblique photos can be taken at steep angles to isolate the subject property or at shallow angles that encompass a wide area and may include the horizon. Oblique aerials visually emphasize structures or properties in the foreground while showing their relationship to the surrounding environment.

Very low obliques are taken from a helicopter at altitudes less than 1,000 feet above the ground. They provide dramatic aerial views that emphasize the vertical dimensions of the subject.

Standard obliques - generally shot at altitudes between 1,500 and 3,500 feet above the ground - are a great way to get close-up views that highlight a single building, construction site, intersection, residential development, or small property.

High obliques are shot from 4,000 feet and higher and can be used to capture a broad or wide angle view of large areas such as parks, large developments, and towns. Clients often choose high obliques to emphasize a site's proximity to retail centers, entertainment venues or restaurants, industrial parks, schools, and/or medical facilities. A higher shot is also a good way to illustrate the roadways surrounding the subject property and access to it.
