History
of Aerial Photography
|
|
|
|
The
science of modern aerial photography has progressed
a great deal since the first aerial photograph was
taken in 1858 by 'Nadar' (Gaspard Felix Tournachon)
from a captive balloon at 1,200 feet above Paris.
|
| The
fascination of seeing a 'birds-eye-view' of the world
stimulated photographer's ingenuity and by 1903 Julius
Neubronne had patented a breast-mounted, timer-controlled
camera for homing pigeons. |
 |
|
|
The
first aerial image, taken 75 years after the first
manned flight in the Montgolfier balloon, has unfortunately
been lost.
The
oldest surviving aerial photograph is of Boston, USA,
taken by James Wallace Black in 1860
The
first aerial photograph in Britain was of London,
taken in 1863 by Henry Negretti.
