| Eye in the Sky uses one of three cameras, depending on the clients application. Our workhorse is the Pentax 645, a medium format camera with a large selection of telephoto and wide-angle lenses.
Our premium camera is the Mamiya RZ67. Also with a wide choice of lenses this camera reproduces images with very fine detail, extreme sharpness and an unparalleled richness of color.
When the need arises we also use a Pentax PZ20 35mm SLR. This camera accepts our most powerful telephoto lens, a 400mm, and is capable of a 2 frames per second burst rate.
An aircraft in flight produces a multitude of vibrations. The engine, propeller and turbulence can generate small or large "shakings" of the cabin. A helicopter’s rotor blade also induces a constant shuddering, felt by everything in the cockpit. To dampen these vibrations any of Eye in the Sky’s cameras can be fitted with either of two Ken Labs gyroscopic stabilizers. Spinning at 20,000 rpm these heavy metal gyros allow the camera lens to remain “rock steady” on target in order to produce the sharpest images possible. For more information on these gyros click the KL logo below right.

| Photoshop® | Eye in the Sky uses Adobe’s Photoshop® to make great photos even better. Photoshop® is an amazing software. It offers seemingly infinite choices in tools and filters to "clone", "heal" or "mask".
We flew several hours to Bowling Green, KY to capture the “before” image to the right. It had rained that week and standing water remained on the roof. Additionally the grass was very patchy at best. Our client liked the shot but asked if anything could be done about the water and grass.
Thirty minutes in Photoshop® and voila!
