Carpathian Mountains by Air - Part 2

The stretch of the Carpathian Mountains which run through Ukraine looks absolutely incredible in the fall. The drone shots especially highlight the rich color contrasts of the foliage and sky. Seen from the air, the mountains expand out endlessly and disappear into the clouds beyond. The compositions are simple, yet arresting.

Ivano-Frankivsk by Air

The city of Ivano-Frankivisk had a huge impact on me when I was a budding photographer. It was incredibly meaningful to return there, with far more experience, and experiment with the drone. From the air I gained an entirely different perspective of a very familiar place. It was an amazing feeling, and this will definitely not be the last collection of photos with this theme!

Iceland by Air

I didn’t think Iceland could get more beautiful until I took a look at the shots from my drone. Seeing a landscape this stunning from the air is downright magical. I’m very excited about how these turned out.

Iceland

When I planned this trip to Iceland, I expected to photograph jagged mountain ranges and black sand beaches. I wasn’t counting on the low hanging fog that crept over the peaks, giving these shots their otherworldly feel. I was lucky to be there at the right time- unless they always look like this. Either way, it was breathtaking.

Strawberry Milkshake (Cityscapes at Dawn)

It's an odd title, I know- but the pinkish hue of the clouds and fog on overcast mornings reminds me of a strawberry milkshake! I love that the colors at this time of day are subtle but still so punchy and bold in the context of the image. The tints of the sky in mornings and evenings are so unique they're unmistakable.

Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most photogenic structures in the world for good reason. You can frame it against the surrounding mountains, or capture it rising into the fog which covers the area for most of the week. On a trip to California earlier this year I shot the bridge at every time of day, experimented with capturing the fog in black and white, and took the drone out for some spectacular aerial shots. My favorite image was captured at dawn when the waves were more intense, and I got the greatest color contrast between the bridge and the landscape around it.
