VASCM: Aerial Photographer Available for Vineyard Shots

[Mary Lindsay]

I have been asked if I know an aerial photographer who is available to 
take vineyard photos from the air.  I recently found out about David 
Sievert, who has taken aerial shots of many vineyards in the Santa Cruz 
Mountains.  I have talked with him about taking aerial photos for any of 
you who might be interested.  He will consider extending a discount to 
VASCM members if we can get enough people committed to it.  His fee is 
based on his flyover of your vineyard plus the prints you want, so it 
varies.  The base price is $300, which includes one 16x20 print.  
Additional prints can add $25-$150 to the total cost, depending on what 
you want. He can reduce this fee depending on how many subscribers we 
can get.  He takes multiple shots and you can choose the view(s) you want.
 
Why not just log on to Google Earth, you ask?  David can take a photo 
with an oblique view with distance and depth that you do not get from 
Google Earth's overhead perspective.  Also, David's photo will be 
current (Google Earth's might be some years in the past).  And you get 
high photographic resolution.

So if you are interested, or want to find out more so you can decide, 
contact David Sievert directly:  831-426-7400; email 
david at airphotodesigns.com.  And he will put together a price package 
based on the number of interested parties and the photos you want.

David may also be at our meeting on Wednesday and you can talk with him 
there.
