Can we open a permanent area on POTN for Aerial Photography?

I spend some time at APlanding.com, an aerial photography site. Most of us actually do various forms of low-aerial photography. The following are common:

KAP: Kite Aerial Photography (started in the 1800s).

PAP: Pole Aerial Photography (using poles up to about 60 feet in height to get unique angles--mostly used in shooting real estate, car dealerships, festivals, etc.)

LTA: Lighter Than Air: Balloons and blimps that can lift a camera. The camera is triggered by remote, sometimes with a live view linked to a computer or monitor, sometimes shooting blind. Sometimes the camera is set to take a picture at select intervals for five or ten minutes, and when it gets back you see what you get.

Full-Scale: that means you get up in an actual airplane or helicopter and, using the appropriate lenses, take pictures of landscapes and structures (like stadiums, housing developments, hotels, etc.).

Any thoughts on starting a "room" dedicated to this "angle" of photography?

Thanks

Mike


Thank you. bw!

Maybe we should hold a pole and let the members decide. ;)This idea is pie in the sky. ;) You're full of hot air.;)

Seriously. Sounds very interesting!

Even though your work is very inspiring, there's probably not enough people shooting in this way to merit creating a special section. Things are probably different in the forum you've quoted because it has a very specific target audience. Here at POTN, we address photography as a whole, which means that the sections we have are more general than tightly specific.

Yeah, I figured as much.

The sites I go to are relatively slow, and this site is so fast (in terms of getting feedback or responses, etc.).

But it was worth a thought.


Thank you. bw!

Don't let that stop you posting your photos though. What I've seen from you so far has been very good, as has the information. Keep it up.
