Low tide aerial photos
Do you know of any aerial photos at extreme low tide? If not, that would be an extremely useful thing to commission.

I use Google Earth. I also use TerraServer-USA, http://terraserver-usa.com/. But I most often use the radar map from this weather.com site: http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreati ... ng_welcome. I open the radar map, go to the satellite view, turn off the weather layers, and zoom in on the area I want to see.

Re: Low tide aerial photos
Thanks much. I agree, google earth has been the greatest tool. Charles thanks also for the other two. They look excellent as well. I'd like to pay someone to fly over at the lowest tide of the year on a clear day. I could get some low level pics and maybe map some rocks if they would show up. I have an infrared camera, and it might even differentiate rocks if there was enough solar heating. With this recession, my wife will keep me from spending out of control. But hey I can dream.

Money is like water, if it is not moving it will just turn stagnant. Keep it moving and it stays healthly. Plus those would be some really cool pics to look at.lordsfisher wrote: With this recession, my wife will keep me from spending out of control. But hey I can dream.

Google Earth has a great pic of St. Marks at low tide. Too bad it wasn't very low for their Aucilla and Econfina pics.
I used Google Earth the couple weeks ago in the fog with my BB GPS to weave through the oyster bars in the East River. I'm hoping they don't update it anytime soon.

Re: Low tide aerial photos
wikimapia.org is also an excellent one to check out. I clearly shows any rocks and oysterbars.
