Berstadt's roofs in the Wetterau
Berstadt stands out in the overview due to its densely built-up core and the longer rows of houses towards the outside. The fields take over at the edge of the picture. A photograph along the edge of town shows how little space remains between the last gardens and the cultivated plots.
Trace the shape of the village
In Berstadt, the streets that approach the town from the outside provide a recognizable direction. From the first group of houses the view can be taken all the way to the denser center. A long field edge in the foreground provides a quiet starting point.
The center of a town can often be recognized from the air by the intersection of several streets. These lines diverge towards the open landscape, the properties become longer and the distances between the houses become larger. Anyone who chooses an image for a location portrait can pay attention to these transitions. A motif with a piece of the surrounding area tells where the place is. A narrower shot, on the other hand, gives people who live or have lived here more opportunities to find familiar buildings in the picture.
What becomes visible on the edge of town
On the edge of town, several scales come together in a small section. On one side there are individual buildings with gardens and driveways. On the other hand, a single open area sometimes takes up as much space as several streets. This change can be shown in the picture over a common edge. A section in which the border between the two areas remains visible even when displayed narrowly is suitable for a website. The motif then retains its local reference even in the mobile view.
Field boundaries as a benchmark
On a map, fields become similar areas. In the aerial photo they differ in color, structure and processing direction. A bright dirt path divides two plots, a row of trees interrupts the straight lines. In such places, the size of the open hallway is better understood than by just looking at the horizon. Color changes should initially be left as an observation. Which crop is growing in a field or when it was cultivated can often only be determined from a single photo with additional local knowledge.
Light and dark areas of the image
To switch between two of the 9 aerial photos, shot 3 and shot 9 can be called up directly in the gallery. In the first photo, light and dark areas are closer together in tonal value. In the second shot the contrast is more pronounced. When switching between photos, it is worth looking from the lightest area to the dark areas. The greater the distance, the more individual contours can stand out, even in a small preview.
Shot 1 and Shot 9 are among the views from December 7, 2018. According to the camera's time information, there is about a minute between the two images. The exposure time was 1/50 second for the first of the images mentioned and 1/80 second for the second.
A townscape for chronicle and community
Anyone who wants to show their family their place of origin often first looks for their own house in the aerial photo. When publishing for the community, the task is different. Even a non-local reader should be able to easily follow the path from the core to the landscape. An aerial photographer can start from the same terrain for both purposes and choose the section differently. What counts for the family portrait is the recognizability of a specific property. When it comes to the townscape, however, it is worth adding a little more surrounding area, even if it means that the individual roof appears smaller.
Related motifs in the aerial photo archive
Two additional views can be used in the archive for comparison. The first can be found under Altenstadt. In the aerial photos of Altenstadt, the transition to open fields is clearly defined. The second belongs to the article Borsdorf. In Borsdorf the red roofs are arranged in a comparatively compact group.
