I threw a quick patch of blue on the first pic only because it was backlit with a bunch of white clouds and I didn't want that to distract. I didn't touch up either of the street pictures, so they are offered only as real-life comparison photos.
I hope this helps show why we like the aerials for our brochure covers. I'll try to add a couple of more in the next few days.

Wow, you certainly sold me! Get some elevation for my pictures! Thanks for providing such clear examples!

Now that was interesting. I am going to have to think about this more for future listing. Thank you!

Margaret -
As you recall from Lee's thread, I have just gotten into pole photos and did a little experiment the other day with consecutive shots from various heights. This is me, a 2 ft stepladder and a 9' extendable pool pole.
Here is eye level - 5-6':
Here is 9 ft:
Here is 13 ft:
Here is 16 ft:
Here is 23-24 ft:
Eric's photos really show both the perspetive and the need to stop going higher. I would probably try to go in between the 16 ft level and the 24 ft level. My goal would be to get the mountains in the background while minimizing the rooftop (which doesn't add and distracts from the mountains and clouds behind. Anyway, that's just my opinion.

I don't see photos like these in our area either. All the cool trends seem to start in California!
I am a RE photographer and virtual tour provider at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. I have recently started using APP (Aerial Pole Photography...I like that better than PAP...sorry) and am falling in love with the results. My setup is extemely simple. I have a three-foot step ladder that I keep in the car and a lightweight tripod. I extend the tripod to it fullest and hold it up over my head. It is not perfect and usually requires a few shots to get it right. I hope to upgrade my system sometime in the near future, but will only take it as far as an extendable pole and possibly a portable DVD player.
Here are some examples of my work. (The photos on the left were all taken by the agents before they hired me to shoot the properties)
Thanks,

As a photographer, I have always been a fan of getting some elevation. I have usually had the good luck on commercial shoots to have the client rent me a bucket lift when I needed the height, but I am very intrigued by this idea for my real estate photography. You may have given me a whole new product line! Thanks for the great info.

Margaret~ I never thought of or heard of Pole Pics! They are definitely an improvement over the regular photos. Vickie
