Located in Dorset, we primarily cover the South of England, but can undertake projects nationwide. The system we use is a 50ft telescopic mast to elevate a camera at the desired height, controlled from a laptop at ground level, which enables the capture of images from a wide area, making it suitable for a variety of services.

Why the Poppy?
A writer first made the connection between the poppy and battlefield deaths during the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th century, remarking that fields that were barren before battle exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended.

Higher Ansty - Dorset

Estate Agent job: Call on the Friday to photograph a cottage in Higher Ansty. Checked with the Met office and the best day was Sunday. Saturday it started off wet but cleared up by the afternoon. Sunday started off with blue skies and then started to get cloudy. I had arranged with the client I would photograph at 2ish. The clocks had gone back an hour on Saturday night. Lucky I turned up at 1:30 by 2:30 it went over cast and spits of rain.

Melbury Downs - Dorset

On a return trip from North Dorset I noticed this field of poppies. Late afternoon there was many people still out walking. Never knew poppies were out this time of year. In the distance towards Blandford there was another field of poppies.
