"You can not assume from Google Earth that you are seeing what you really need to see."

Digital Sight Aerial Photography Imaging is based in Pleasanton, CA, and flies out of Livermore (KVL) and Hayward. (HWD).
We use digital photo equipment that provides you with exceptional
detail. All shots are taken with a Ken-Labs K-6 gyro to insure image
sharpness
Pre-Flight Check Lists precede all aerial assignments. When possible,
we may choose to make an on-site inspection. The information we gather
is used to prepare a checklist for our pilots and photographers who
work together to meet the objectives of each assignment.
Once a location has been identified, we will provide you with a
pre-flight layout of the angles, heights and extents of the images we
will photograph. It allows us to fine tune all of the perspectives and
view corridors before we fly.
When your assignment is completed, we will post the images to our
server in a slide show format allowing you to see what we captured.
Within two days, you will receive a DVD with your images. On average, we
will provide 20-50 color-balanced, horizon straightened images of your
site in a JPG format.
Scheduling
While we make every attempt to complete each assignment in a timely
manner, the primary rule which we follow strictly is "safety always
comes first". We do not fly in inclement weather with restricted
visibility or if wind speeds are excessive.
