Do you need high resolution digital images of your project taken from a point of view that seems all but impossible? Perhaps a shot of a view corridor from the 10th floor of a building that doesn’t exist! Now you can get these unique pictures from MorganTech. Our radio controlled aircraft are equipped with the latest in high-resolution cameras, for video we use a down-linked CCD camera. MorganTech can capture almost any image you can envision. We provide photo composites for government agencies, civil engineers and architects often utilizing GPS tools for graphic overlays that augment the aerial information. (e.g. grading, new development, and environmental studies.)
You give us the location and what you need. We’ll do rest the rest.

Some Advantages of Low Altitude Photography
In the past, a light aircraft flying above the FAA minimum altitude of 500 to1000 feet was the only way to shoot low altitude photography. Unfortunately, unless the area to be photographed is quite wide, like a golf course or an entire housing project, these images were less than ideal.
At 500 to 1000 feet atmospheric haze reduces the resolution. To get a tight shot of an individual home for example, you need to use a telephoto lens. Telephotos are subject to motion blur. To reduce the blur you need to shoot at a high shutter speed. A high shutter speed means a fast film. And fast film is grainy, further degrading the image.
In low altitude photography the camera can get in close. The closer the photographer can get to the subject, the less haze, and the better the resolution. No telephoto lenses are required either, so no motion blur, and no grainy, fast film. Our clients have also found it quite helpful to include the horizon in these low altitude pictures as it offers a better perspective of the project and its surrounding environment.
By utilizing a state-of-the-art digital camera equipped with high quality lenses, we can zoom or crop the image in whatever way you wish. If you need photo composites, we also can create a 3D model and add it to the image to enhance your project.
