Aerial photographs

How do you identify whether an aerial photo was taken from an airplane, a balloon or a drone? XRay 💬 19:20, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

By "identify" I assume you mean "indicate (if known)", not how you work it out from looking at the photo (which often you can't). - Jmabel ! talk 20:28, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

You're right, indicate. --XRay 💬 20:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm a little surprised we don't have a property corresponding to photographic technique (Q1439691). Then you could set the value of that to drone photography (Q12033087) (for example). Can anyone see a way to do an an equivalent of that? - Jmabel ! talk 20:36, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Please have a look to Category:Aerial photographs by camera vehicle. How to model camera vehicle? --XRay 💬 20:42, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Slightly off topic, but shouldn't Category:Aerial photographs by Smart Drone‎ be a subcat of Category:Unmanned aerial vehicle aerial photography? - Jmabel ! talk 01:56, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

@XRay: It has been suggested on Wikidata that we could use genre (P136) with drone photography (Q12033087). - Jmabel ! talk 16:26, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

This is logical and understandable. However, another value that is often used is more general: aerial photography (Q191839). You can't tell from the value whether it was a drone, an airplane, a hot air balloon or something else. --XRay 💬 18:14, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
