Mast Photography Explained

Mast photography is the name given to photographs taken using a telescopic mast. The mast has a stills or video camera attached to its top and is extended to th erequiored height above ground level.

We usually mount a digital camera on top of the mast and are able to control everything from ground level. We can zoom the camera as well as pan and tiltit, camera settings be adjusted (shutter speed, exposure, white balance etc.) and you can preview the image on screen before it is taken - all with our feet still on the ground. If required a video camera can be mounted on top of the mast as well - ideal for traffic surveys.

This system lends itself very well to a variety of different uses, most popular one is Property Marketing. The photographs taken of property, creating "wow" or "money" shots, th eproperties suddenly take on a whole new dimension.

Here at Elevated Aspects we have two mast photography systems, a large 26m telescopic mast mounted on a 4x4 Land Rover and a 15m mobile mast. Our set up allows us to provide coverage almost anywhere in Northern Ireland be it outdoors or indoors.

Mast photogarphy is also known as Low Level Altitude Photography and Elevated Photography

Advantages of Mast Over Coventional Aerial Photography Using Aircraft

Here is list of advantages of mast photography over conventional aircraft Aerial Photography:

• Our type of photography can be undertaken at a fraction of the cost as conventional Aerial Photography, plus the photographs are more striking (In fact for the cost of hiring an helicopter for an hour, you could hire us for a whole day and get as many photographs as you want).
  
  
• Aerial photographs taken from aircraft are mainly flat looking with lots of roofs in the picture. Mast photography eliminates the "mass of roofs" and incorporates elevations as well.
  
  
• You can check the composition of each photograph before it is taken - something that is impossible with aircraft based Aerial Photography.
  
  
• If your photograph is urgent, we could if our workload permits, photograph it the same day as your instruction - almost impossible with conventional Aerial Photography, which requires a degree of planning - flight plans, CAA approval for low flying, hiring of aircraft etc.
  
  
• We can photograph in areas where there is restricted airspace.
  
  
• Our system is eco friendly - producing a tiny fraction of the carbon emissions that an aircraft would produce.
