Birmingham From the Air

Author: Jonathan Webb

Birmingham From the Air

Birmingham is England's second largest city and a hub of the country's industrial activity. The city contains a wealth of History going back to the dawn of the industrial revolution and beyond with a legacy of interesting architecture and historical features.
The book contains over 150 images drawn from the Webb Aviation Aerial Photographic Library showing both the city's remarkable history and some unique visual insights into its architecture and people. From St Phillips Cathedral built in 1715 to the new Bull Ring shopping centre.
All the photographs are taken by Jonathan Webb using the latest professional digital photographic cameras and specialist lenses including an extremely long focal length image stabilized lens mounted on a gyro stabilizer specially developed for aerial photography which has enabled probably the highest resolution civilian aerial photographs of Birmingham ever taken from a moving aeroplane.
