Need a place where I can get high resolution aerial photographs?

Question:Want to frame a photo of 50 acres. Google earth, mapquest, yahoo maps, terraserver.com do not offer the resolution I need. Any suggestions other that hiring a local service? Is there a government in each county that keeps photos on file?

Sounds crazy, but try low altitude aerial photography using remote controlled helicopter. It's very reasonable and is quite a neat thing to watch!

Ask someone on this forum if they are in the area. Put your city and state. I can almost guarantee you'll find someone local who can do this for you.

you could hire a local pilot (helicopter or airplane) preferrably helicopter so you can hover. They don't charge a whole lot (maybe look to barter with them) plus you'll get great shots of the acrerage.
