Overshoot Photos
Unlike fixed-mast systems, a Draganflyer X6 can take photographs from any angle and can take live motion video. Just try and photograph your Country pile using a fixed-mast van in the middle of your lawn or from the centre of your lake! Can a fixed mast swoop down the drive, up and over the rooftops? Using a Draganflyer we can take aerial photographs - colour, black & white, infra-red and video of high-up and inaccessible places. Publicity aerial photographs for places such as Golf courses or top of the range property for sale can enhance its status no end. Even at the lower end, if you want your property to stand out and sell quicker, show it off with an aerial photograph instead. |
Kodak GalleryKodak EasyShare Gallery (www.kodakgallery.co.uk), formerly known as "Ofoto", is the leading online digital photo developing service. The Kodakgallery.co.uk site provides customers with a secure and easy way to view, store and share their photos with friends and family and get real Kodak prints of their pictures. The site also provides free editing and creative tools and speciality photo products. The Company was founded in July 1999 in Berkeley, California by a diverse group of Internet veterans united by a passion for photography and the shared frustration of being unable to get high-quality prints from their digital cameras. As digital photographers, they knew that it was easier to share digital pictures with family and friends, but they also wanted film-quality prints. From frustration came innovation as they set out to develop an advanced, yet easy-to-use, Internet service. They built their own digital photography lab and opened for business on 13 December 1999 with the launch of the web site www.ofoto.com. In June 2001, Ofoto, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eastman Kodak Company and in March 2005, we changed our company name to Kodak Imaging Network, Inc. As part of the greatest photography company in the world, we will continue to provide the same service and quality that our customers have come to know and trust. And, with Kodak's support, we'll offer expanded features and new products along with our continuing commitment to be the number one online photography service. In addition to this web site, we operate many sites around the world: International Sites. |
Ancestry.co.uk
However, more recently, there has been a boom in what is effectively an enormous online jigsaw. Anyone can go to sites such as Genes Reunited (part of the Friends Reunited brand) or Ancestry.co.uk, feed in the information that they have discovered so far and the websites will then search for similar patterns in its vast database and let you know about them. This allows you to build up your family tree at a far faster rate than you could by visiting cemeteries, Records Offices and Newspaper archives. We are pleased to announce that the complete British Phone Book collection from 1880-1984 is now available on Ancestry.co.uk. Dating back to 1880, the year after the public telephone service was introduced into Great Britain; phone books are really helpful tools for family historians. Because they are updated so regularly (every 12-18 months from the mid 1900s onwards) phone books are a great companion to Census records for tracing your ancestors' whereabouts. You'll find information on where your ancestors were living. Indeed telephone ownership in itself is highly revealing in establishing class and social prominence of your ancestors too. So, even if you don't find your ancestors listed in the early directories, this in itself is very telling in terms of establishing the social status of your ancestors too. From the structure of the directories themselves, you'll also be able to get a very rich picture of the areas in which your ancestors were living and for the types of concerns which would of occupied their every day lives. For example, from the very first issue, the changing nature of local and national advertisements (from local milk supplies to major utility suppliers) provide for a fascinating picture of economic and industrial development of Britain. Note: The British Phone Books data 1880 - 1984 is provided by Ancestry.co.uk in association with BT and the database contains images of original records. |
