We have done aerial photography in that past over central Massachusetts, but we wanted to do something a little more extensive and personal. The shoot began mid-afternoon leaving Vancouver, Washington from the Pearson Airfield and out to the Oregon Coast. to Astoria, Oregon then Seaside Oregon and a bit further over the Oregon Coastal Mountain Range. Then back over to Mt. St. Helens and over Vancouver to the airport again. We had an amazing trip and it was thanks to our awesome and generous pilot that we were able to enjoy such awesome views. It’s so hard to capture images moving at over 120 mph at 1,000 – 3,000 feet. But almost anything is beautiful from this height and takes on a whole new character. These images were shot through plexiglass with our 70-200 2.8 Nikkor lens. After carefully editing in photoshop to bring out the most detail in each image, we wanted to share with everyone what we saw. This was one of those personal projects that was done just for fun. It was an awesome escape from the ordinary and was a reminder of why we love photography. Thank you Frank!
With the planes in the foreground, it looks like a battlefield. Great shot!
