Question

mention two properties of vertical aerial photography

Answer 1

Answer:

1). Synoptic Viewpoint

What this means is that aerial photographs allow you to see a much wider field of view than regular photographs would let you see. When you look at an aerial photograph, view the world from the eyes of a bird. Think of yourself as a bird perching on a very high loft on the Empire State Building, looking at the great expanse of land and city a far as the horizon. 

2). Ability to Stop Action:

Aerial photographs – when properly taken – bring dynamic features such as a very fast-flowing stream, road traffic or forest fires, to a ‘halt’. The great distances from which the shots are taken is mostly responsible for the ‘stop’ effect. And the advantage of the ability of aerial photographs to stop action makes it possible to observe certain concepts that would otherwise be near impossible to study.
