All the pictures in this book are aerial
photographs aimed at presenting a
graphic, structural and abstract
perspective of Israel, making use of the
special light which illuminates the
country at different times of day and in
different seasons.
The unique angle from which the
photographs have been taken lends a
different appearance to objects that we
have thus far known only in a routine way.

Most of the photographs were taken from a Robinson helicopter and the remainder
from light aircraft where the door was removed for the convenience of the
photographers. The helicopter afforded greater maneuverability at low speeds and
allowed the photographers to get closer to the scenes photographed. Most of the
pictures were taken with Hasselblad (6x6) and Pentax (6x7) cameras using an
intermediate format. To compensate for the speed of the flight, extremely fast shutter
speeds were used.
The key to good photography of this kind, even more than in ordinary photography,
is good lighting. In order to accentuate the relief and the textures of the landscape,
early morning and sunset illumination are essential.
To make best use of this light, and to compensate for the haze which increases with
altitude and distance from the objects being photographed, filters were used.
In order to take photographs from the desired angle and with the correct illumination
and timing. Three preconditions had to be met: painstaking planning, optimum
weather conditions, and good teamwork
