    I have a client who has a commercial job and is looking for some Aerial photography. I suggested that there might be someone here who either does aerial stuff with a remote helicopter or know someone with one that does that sort of stuff. If anyone has the means can they pm me and I’ll give you the clients contact details and the two of you can have a chat about it.

    Cheers..

    You could hire a Cessna 172 for about €150 per hour and do it yourself. A nice fun day out, especially if it’s windy ;0)

    Hi Nossie,

    Would I be able to photograph from a plane, I’m afraid about the glass. I know a filter would be fine for glass but that double stuff on planes might be an issue no?
    Also its on the flight path to Dublin Airport, like really close so I don’t know if you’d only get one fly past..
    I guess its an option to consider and its a nice price for a bit of fun..

    I use kites but it depends how high you want to go :) and the weather…

    You can get the window on a Cesna to open, easy to check when enquiring.

    Also discuss things like desired altitude, distance from subject etc hen enquiring are there are altitude minima to consider (to comply with Irish air law, besides which the pilot ultimately will be the person to decide this taking into account ATC instructions if flying in a controlled zone).

    Basically have a good chat when enquiring and bring as much detail as you can to the discussion so you won’t be disappointed if conditions or ATC instructions mean you may not get the angle, altitude etc on the shot you want. Forewarned is forearmed.

    By the way, someone recently called to my door selling aerial shots and they were so poor I actually asked if the person who took the shots was a pro or an amateur. The sales lady said they were a professional who took the shots but you’d never have guessed it. So check examples of work of anyone you’d be proposing to use if not shooting yourself.
