It was just a topic that came up during the degrees in photography, mostly during the second one at UAL because people were going mad for buying drones and attaching full frames to do video/photo stuff.
I did a bit of research into it way back when, because one of my 5x7 film cameras was built for aerial photography, and there were a lot of large format lenses built specifically for that purpose (mostly with military markings) that I was trying to source for having nice wide apertures on big negatives. I can't remember any of the links, but it crosses over with the stuff ATLAS gallery once showed about the photos from the moon with Hasselblad cameras... because they used specific grids to correct for the curvature and (lack of) atmosphere.

Yeah, fair enough. Tbh it's one of those areas I'd like to be good at, but realistically am never going to commit the time/money to get good! :) So I snap when I can, and browse national geographic to see what the pro's can do.
Half of me would quite like a drone.. but them I'd be the type of person who owns a drone. And I'd never feel comfortable flying it over a city to get pics.
You seem to know a bit about aerial photography - background in it? Know any good reading for the history/techniques?
