Office Building in Fairfax (Legato Road between Fair Oaks Mall and Fairfax Towne Center)

A friend pointed out that many of our posts late last year were centered in and around Staunton (our home base) – wondering if we do work outside of the region… Of course we do! Therefore, the official Virginia Aerial Photography “new years resolution” will be to show a better representation of the whole of the Commonwealth!

Staunton Quarry

Its interesting to see what lies within the a city’s limits once you’re up in the air!  The bottom line is: a city is an umbrella over all manner of economic development.

Churchville Avenue Lights

The City of Staunton recently completed a substantial project along Churchville Avenue, including the installation of quite a few streetlights.  The lights are designed to cast light only down (towards the paving) in order to minimize waste and light pollution.  This photo show how they work.

Night Flight Over Staunton

Posted on November 22, 2010 by Administrator

Night Flight Over Staunton

With a long interest in night photography, I wanted to try out how this would work from a plane instead of a tripod… Not easy: the pane’s shake and motion requires a fast shutter speed, which means that the aperture has to be opened up as wide as possible onto a sensor with the ISO maxed out. So the images are a little noisy if you are a pixel peeper – but otherwise really cool!
