This document discusses different types of aerial photographs used in photogrammetry. It describes vertical photographs taken directly downward, low oblique photographs taken at a 30 degree angle, and high oblique photographs taken at a 60 degree angle. For each type it provides the characteristics, such as the area covered, ability to measure distances and directions, visibility of relief and the horizon. Vertical photographs cover a small area but allow measurement of distance and direction on flat terrain. Low oblique photographs cover a larger area in a trapezoid shape and provide more familiar perspective. High oblique photographs cover the largest area but do not allow measurement and distort relief.
