The document discusses the history of aerial photography from its origins in 1857 to modern applications using drones. It provides examples of important early pioneers in the field from the 1900s to space photography in the 1940s and 1960s. The bulk of the document then focuses on examples of aerial vacation photography taken with a DJI Phantom quadcopter over various locations in Provence, France, showing both raw and processed shots. It promotes the idea that drones will change vacation photography and provides contact information for more details.
