4.0 out of 5 stars Review of "Secrets of Successful Aerial Photography", April 27, 2000
By A Customer
When purchasing this book, I was looking for a good source of information for someone interested in breaking into the Aerial Photography business. This book pretty much fit that bill exactly. It starts with three short chapters on atmospheric conditions and their effect on the image, and include tips on the best techniques for handling different situation. Chapters 4, 5 and 6 discuss equipment, film choices and exposure. Chapter 7 is about preflight planning. Eight covers aircraft recommendations, and then the book ends with some informatin on the business side of Aerial Photography, to include clients, marketing, pricing, sample forms, etc. Overall, this book addressed all of the topics I had question about, and it definately gave me enough information to get me started in the business. However, it was not quite as thorough or as detailed as I would have liked. It is not a comprehensive guide to aerial photography, and has left me with several questions on the subject. The bottom line is that this is a good book to have in your photography library and will be very usefull in conjunction with others. It also included a list of references where I plan on getting the answers to the rest of my questions.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the book you've probably been looking for., October 4, 2000
By Don (Youngstown, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
Text on the subject of aerial photography are hard to find. Richard Eller has produced one that is worth the investment. It doesn't waste time with teaching the basic operation of a camera. For non-pilots, it gives you an understanding of visibility in different atmospheric conditions without sending you to college to be a weather forcaster. For pilots, it will help you choose your altitude and distance from your subject.

This is a subject that has long needed a good book. And here it is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money, July 21, 2000
By Mats Nilson (Umeå, Sweden) - See all my reviews
If you ever consider aerial photography, you'd be silly not to buy this one (unless, of course, you know of any better). Let me put it this way: It costs a lot less than the film you would have to waste to get the same knowledge first-hand. Not to mention the cost of flying... It might not be perfect - there is probably more to be said about aerial photography - but the author has, on the other hand, resisted the temptation to include superfluous text on basic photography. I was at first dissapointed to find that a lot of the illustrating photographs are in B/W, but coming to think of it, in most cases that rather distilles their information value.

2.0 out of 5 stars Close to becoming irrelevant
Unless you are using 35 mm film and flying a biplane for your aerial photography needs, don't buy the book. Go to the library instead. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars A waste of money in my book... expecally if you are a pilot!

1.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment
This is the worst photo book I have ever bought. The printing and reproductions are awful - the essential text could have been fitted into a 20 p. Read more
