Dear dellisny-ga You do not specify vertical or oblique so I have searched for both as vertical photographs in areas of tall buildings have large areas of shade which obscure features. Satellite images: Globe Explorer -Click on Aerial Atlas (top left) On my Internet Explorer the site did not display correctly unless I pressed F11 on my keyboard to enlarge the viewing area (Press F11 to return it to normal). Type in address to view sample image before purchasing. Good definition on the images I looked at. http://www.globeexplorer.com/ Not tested as it requires registration Space Imaging http://carterraonline.spaceimaging.com/cgi-bin/Carterra/phtml/login.phtml Aircraft images: The library of Aerial Archives states "the archive also contains a comprehensive collection of vertical New York City aerials including aerial photos of Manhattan and the entire New York metropolitan area both in color and black and white and Manhattan aerials in infrared color for an entirely different look". A small selection of these images are available for viewing on line; for specific requests for aerials of Manhattan and other portions of New York City contact them. http://www.aerialarchives.com/Aerial-Photographs-of-Manhattan.htm The following are stated to have photographs: New York State Department of Transportation Aerial Photographs and Mapping Department 1220 Washington Avenue, Building 4, Room 105 Albany, NY 12232 (518) 457-3555 9"x 9" black & white contact print $4/page plus $15 shipping and handling fee This site have a wide selection of oblique photographs: http://www.skypic.com/newyork.htm#manh These New York based companies take aerial photographs. http://www.highwing.com http://www.firstlightphotography.com/aerials.htm Please ask for clarification of the research, or if the links do not work, before rating the answer. answerfinder-ga Search strategy Manhattan aerial photographs ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=manhattan+%22aerial+photographs%22&btnG=Google+Search "new york" "aerial photographs" ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22new+york%22+%22aerial+photographs%22 |
