<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks for all the great info on imagery sources.
Ironically (Randy) you mentioned gas turbines, which happens to be connected to
my whole reason for investigating GIS. Therefore my imagery requirements
are global since our engines our scattered throughout the world. I’ll
investigate some of the sources you provided, excluding the localized
ones.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in">That's awesome. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">Google imagery (assuming you're using QuickMapServices)
is pushed through a service and I think those services are usually pretty locked
down with licensing plus it's a service so it's just harder to deal with.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">So I **think** you can purchase Google imagery - not sure
of the cost. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">Depending on where you are and what you're doing here's
what I would do: <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">1. Check with the local City/County and see if they have
imagery. It will be probably 6 inch to 1 foot in resolution. There may be a
charge or it may be free. Example: Hamilton County TN has an image service
that QGIS can use and they sell imagery. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">2. Check with the state you are in and see what they
have. I would search for "State of Mike GIS Data" (with Mike being the state
you're in) and see what pops up. Example: The state has an imagery service and
they sell imagery to the general public and to counties. Go back to 1 and they
(county) may give you what they purchased. Tn has free LIDAR data for download
also. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">3. Federal is the next step - NAIP (1 meter). That's free
and may be awesome for what you want or may not be. <A
href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/aerial-photography/imagery-programs/naip-imagery/__;!!M7dyoZOwuwF45AU!g_b3G6DWyLQszl5jNIBPPCq1kjBm0NqE5eTkVOtsJulvNT91Ke2fDYsgLnYAIDj1r4oCDkNZ7H4$">https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/aerial-photography/imagery-programs/naip-imagery/</A> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">4. Weird use cases that may have imagery in the area -
like some utilities will fly their own imagery and have that available if you
ask nice (I was a former Federal Utility Employee in Tennessee which had some
gas turbines).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">5. Landsat will completely work but I think that may
still be 30 meter pixel size - but it's free. There are some other satellite
imagery that is free also - you're just trading resolution for cost.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">6. Planet labs sells imagery - but not sure of the cost
on that on either. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">Yeah - that's the hard part - imagery. Software is
easy - imagery makes my head hurt. <o:p></o:p></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> So the short answer is yes and the longer answer is
Yes it's a little complicated but doable.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> For the explanation I''m going to completely ignore
projections - that's a whole other discussion.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> If you had a point (like a tower) you could run the
buffer tool and buffer it one mile. From there<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> I think you would "clip by mask layer" and extract
the image. You could save that as a geotiff or<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> whatever you needed. Life would be good. (I say all
that like you know where the tools are - look<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> for processing at the top of QGIS - that gives you
processing tools).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> The bigger problem is the imagery - you can't clip
Google Satellite imagery and use that per the<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> license from Google. So you would need another image
source be it landsat or something local<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> (maybe the county you're working in has imagery they
would share). Imagery is a pain.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> Really - that's the kicker - the imagery. Get that
and then there's the whole discussion on "get<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> it in a local projection" and you're done - it's
about three steps in QGIS to get what you want.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in">> It's completely doable! I dunno how much this has
