OnCourse Training Site – Then and Now
Not only has the site grown, but the technology used to capture the photos has changed. In 2003, we chartered a plane for the aerial shots and a 800 kb photo size was considered pretty good. In 2014, Skyworks Africa captured videos and photos using a drone and 7 mb is a pretty decent photo size. … [Read more...]
