As I have mentioned before, because of the local airports and military bases, around 60 percent of Hampton Roads is restricted airspace, and so legally you cannot just "take off and get photos".
For example, Oceana’s airspace covers most of Virginia Beach, from the oceanfront to almost Town Center, and a lot of that area is completely restricted (the blocks with ’0’ in them), so you’re not even allowed to take the drone up 5 ft without getting permissions.
Everyone knows that aerial photos can look truly amazing. Getting that birds-eye view of a property or building from many different heights and angles, you can really sum up the surrounding area and landscape.
While aerial photos and videos have been used in real estate for several years now, one field that had taken a while to embrace them was construction.
An interesting aerial shoot in Newport News. This one was for a company that installs the bollards on docks and piers, and wanted some photos and video to show off the project.
