Aerial Photos of Pepper Ridge 2009

Mike Showerman, a friend of mine from NCSA, took me up

Sounds scary, but Mike's been doing this for 20 years and the plane he has is a well known and reliable model

We flew mostly at 500-600 ft, but for the last pass we buzzed by low for the kids. :-)

A closeup. :-)

Approximate outline our property

Overall, I have 90 pictures at full resolution (3500x2500!).
I used Cindy's Canon 30D DSLR camera and Tamron 28-75mm lens.
Settings were shutter priority (TV), 1250 speed, no flash, and manual focus at infinity.
If you are interested in higher resolution images (e.g. for printing), let me know.
