Oblique Photographs

Photographs that are taken at a high point taken at an angle.These can be taken from aircraft such as a

plane or hot air balloon.Can also be taken from a cliff looking down

at an oblique angle Using this angle we are able to discover

more of the features in the background

Vertical Photographs

Usually taken from a specially equipped plane with a camera mounted underneath – pointing straight down.

The maximum tilt of the camera is 3° degrees, If it goes over this angle it will be classified as an oblique photograph

These photos will show less detail but more area of the environment
