I have some opportunities coming up to fly some imagery and was wondering how most people charge for their services. I would be creating orthorectified imagery. Thanks!

I think that most charge by acreage and complexity. A large site with multiple flights, lots of GPS-derived ground control points, and hours of post-processing will cost more than a small 2-acre orthophoto. Then you have to factor in travel time, equipment costs, your hourly rate, and insurance.

Then you throw all of that out the window and try to guess how much the client is willing to pay...
 
Ha ha! The life of being a consultant! Thanks for the response!
