Tips on interpreting air photos in QGIS
You will learn: That the shapes, shadows and colors, you see in air photos can be surrogates for other important information.
Guess what. The time for pressing buttons is over. Now I want you to think! To me, this is the most fun part of GIS. You pull a bunch of maps and databases together and you get to figure out the puzzle! If you look closely and “think”, air photos can provide many clues about what’s going on in an area both environmentally and culturally.
Some examples...
The river in the photo must be deep: Otherwise there would not be a boat mooring so far up the river!
Many houses in the photo are single storey: Otherwise they would cast longer shadows
Some of the housing estates in the photo are old: Otherwise local streets would not have cracks in them
Brown lawns suggest the photo was taken in summer: Also that in some places the soils are very sandy
And more...
The air photos we use in this exercise are packed with examples like this.
