I'm curious if anyone here is doing aerial photography from airplanes (or helicopters). I recently got two big jobs (more than $3k each--big for me at this time and each can be done in a two to three hour flight). I'll have to use an airplane because the properties are so large (more than a square mile) that I need an agl of 3,000 feet or more. Although I have paid for my drone many times over, I haven't gotten to a level of business anywhere near what I was used to with my previous aerial photography business from airplanes and helicopters (and that business is now mostly gone because of drones and much more competition). Drone photography for me has been more of a part-time income, and has been dwindling because I was drawing from previous customers and have been getting very little new business. Anyway, I have been thinking maybe there could be a new niche for aerial photography of very large properties that can only be adequately photographed from manned aircraft.
