In Reply to: Vintage Aerial Photographs of your farm posted by Leland2 on November 18, 2009 at 21:13:52:

Wow, we have got a good discussion going on here. I'm impressed with you guys, very active group on here. I would like to reply to some of the post on here just to make things clear to everyone. If you read the origional post I stated that the photos I have are vintage hence the name of our company Vintage Aerial. As I stated we have a library of over 24,000,000 aerial images that have been taken over the past 40 plus years. You will not find these photos anywhere else, Google doesn't have them, Microsoft doesn't have them, no one does. What you get from these other sources is a satalite view and they are much more current then the photos we have. As Vintage Aerial we are not in the business of selling current photos, what we have are photos from the past 40 plus years that show much of the history of rural America. While Google maps and others might be fine for someone wanting that type of thing and I totaly understand that. But what I'm offering is a much higher quality image that might date back to the 1950's. One thing you will notice with Google and others is that when you get outside of a populated area the quality goes way down. Our images were taken with cameras using fixed wing aircraft with properly rated commercial pilots following all FAA rules and regulations. The United States is a big place and we do not have every square inch of it photographed. But we do have a good portion of it and some of our photos date back to when we started in 1952. Our goal at Vintage Aerial is to connect the photographs of these rural American properties we have taken over the last 40 plus years with the people who lived and grew up in these places. One thing to remember is that there are many aerial photography companies out there and they are not all alike. The main thing I'm trying to do here is share these photos with the people connected to them and let them decide if they would like to purchase one of our photos. I'm not knocking on anyones door and using any high pressure sales tatics. I enjoy sharing these wonderful photos with the people who know them best. This is all done at no obligation to anyone. If you give me the address I will search our library for your photo. If I can find it, which we are able to do most of the time. I will share this photo with you online so you can view it and this will cost you absolutely nothing. Then you decide if you would like to own this photograph.

As Splitz said in his post, we enjoy sharing these historic photos with our customers.

I will close in saying this. I own and operate my own aerial photography company www.aerialopportunites.com along with working for Vintage Aerial and what many of the people have said on here is TRUE!. If you would like a aerial photograph you can go to your local airport and rent a plane and pilot if you are not one, which I am a Commercial Pilot by the way. Using our own camera you can probably take some decent photos. I would recomend using at least a 10 mega-pixel camera if you want to enlarge the photo to anything more then a 8x10 and never shoot your photo through the plexiglass windows. Open them up and take your photo through an open window. You can get a photo of your property as it is today. But like I said Vintage Aerial is trying to connect people with old photographs and I do not know of any airplane on the market yet that can fly back in time to allow you to take an aerial photo of your property from the 1960's.

If you would like to see if we have an aerial photograph of your property with NO OBLIGATION to you please go to our site at http://www.vintageaerial.com/yt

I would be glad to share them with you. Then you decide if you would like one.

Thanks for your time!

Spence Gray

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
