Up high!

I am always excited of new assignments that comes my way, and recently my job was to take images from above! I was tasked to take aerial shots of a school in Manila, we used a Robinson R44 rotor craft which was small, light and could hover at a low altitude. The ride was smooth and quick, we passed the location about 4 times at different altitudes (as low as 400 ft.) and different angles. After firing away at every circle we made, we headed back to the hangar and that ended our session for the day.

Before take off.
