"Air to Ground: Exploring the Early Years of Aerial Photography" In the early years of aviation, capturing stunning aerial photographs was no easy task. Film processing times and conversion tables were crucial for photographers to achieve accurate results. The Hughes H-4 Hercules, also known as the Spruce Goose, played a significant role in advancing air-to-ground photography. Equipped with a camera mount dolly featuring gears, castors, and an electric motor, photographers could capture breathtaking images from high above. Military WW1 aerial photographers even posed for group pictures to document their pioneering work. Instructions for film processing times during this era were essential knowledge for achieving optimal results. The Burchall Photographic Slide Rule specifically designed for 5x4 inch plates aided in precise calculations. The Psg30 technique revolutionized vertical or plan mapping aerial photography by providing detailed instructions on how to obtain accurate measurements from different heights. Its successor, Psg302 technique further refined this process. Different areas covered at various heights became vital information when creating maps on a 1:20, 000 scale using vertical or plan mapping techniques. Accuracy was paramount in identifying and labeling these vertical images through the lessons provided by Psg43. Developing glass plate negatives required specific instructions during those early years. Photographers had to follow meticulous steps to ensure quality prints that captured every detail seen from above. Lastly, mosaic creation involved overlapping photos seamlessly together using advanced techniques outlined in comprehensive instructions available at that time. From film processing times to innovative tools like camera mount dollies and slide rules; aerial photography has come a long way since its inception. These historical hints shed light on the challenges faced by early pioneers who paved the way for modern-day air-to-ground imagery we enjoy today.
