We got the project flown Saturday afternoon. It sucks when a project has a time and date they what it flown, regardless of weather or clouds.
Once again, lots of cloud shadows. I rode along to run the laptop as we mowed the yard in the sky. ATC twice made us do a 360 turn and wait to continue the flight line so the commercial airlines could take off. I shot the obliques with the Canon 5Dsr and the 70 to 200 mm zoom lens with autofocus and image stabilization. It is a challenge holding that camera and lens finding the area of interest as we fly past at 120 MPH. It is almost a full square mile, and they want the many different parking lots, every large building, the different attractions, and then overall when the cloud shadows and beams of light hit the ground.
It shoots in RAW mode, and that captures all the data from the sensor, so that after the fact I can adjust the exposure, white balance, color and exposure and pretty much every aspect of the image. It saves a 150 MB tif file per image. I had gone through several computers before I ever had a hard drive that was 150 MB.
