NEW SERVICE!!!

In response to many requests, HEDGES AERIAL SURVEYS is now offering high resolution digital aerial photography for those who do not need the superior resolution of a precision mapping camera system. This service is in addition to the mapping photography that we have been involved in for the past 12 years.
Imagery is captured through an open aircraft window at an oblique or near vertical angle and is delivered in a JPEG file on either CD or DVD. The photography is especially useful for advertising, real estate, special events, and sales brochures.

We can provide quick turn around time and in some cases same day service. Each site would include 12 to 15 exposures at various angles. Please feel free to give us a call and we would be glad to quote you a price.
