About the photographer
My name is Corey Benson. I enjoy hiking and being outside. Photography has also been something that I enjoy when I have time to myself. I periodically work in the construction industry and in doing so I realized that aerial photography has helped me complete tasks accurately. I have been flying for only a year and a half but in that time I have seen things that I wish I could have captured with a camera. This sparked the idea of taking up aerial photography.
About the plane
The aircraft of choice for me is a Cessna 182, for multiple reasons. First and foremost are its outstanding capabilities for aerial photography. It is a high winged aircraft, so it’s easy to see the ground. It can be easily put into slow flight for clear pictures, glass covers many angles of the cockpit for diverse shots, and I am familiar with its controls (I was trained in a Cessna 152).
About the camera
The camera that I use is a Canon XTI Rebel. It has 10.1 megapixels for clear shots. I use a wide angle lens for large areas of landscape and a 75-300 mm lens to get close and detailed shots of individual buildings. It is a wonderful and reliable camera.
