Shooting images from above the landscape enables us to get a perspective we can't see from the ground. Sometimes it's as simple as getting above trees that block the view. Other times the higher vantage point gives us a birds eye view that completely changes what we see. I shoot my aerial imagery from a drone (or "unmanned aerial system" in official terms), so I can be anywhere from just above the ground, to as high as 400 feet. Take a look and see what you think!
The Road to Adventure
The sun is setting over the Sierra Nevada mountains, casting a golden glow across the landscape. In the foreground, the winding road of California's Highway 108 climbs towards 9,623' Sonora Pass. The surrounding mountains cast their shadows over the canyon, while the distant peaks loom in the background.
This aerial shot captures the thrill of the climb, as the road snakes its way up the mountainside. The shadows and sunlight create a dramatic effect, and the colors of the landscape are simply stunning.
