p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Los Angeles helicopter tour


Got a helicopter tour of LA from my fiancee for my birthday and had a fantastic experience. This was my first time in a helicopter and it's a lot to manage when it comes to photography, especially the vibration, window glare, and rapidly changing compositions. First three are my favorites.

Thanks for looking.

Window glare? Why didn’t you insist on an open door?

"Thanks for the amazing helicopter tour for my birthday... but I really don't want to go on this one because the doors will be closed"

Seems like that should be obvious, Rajan

Probably the liability of things or people falling out.
Not all of us have friends with a helicopter like you
.
Pictures turned out great I think...Nice work.

I think it for safety. Actually collection for these is well selected and designed for well arrayed disposition and harmony in thoughtful composition.

Nothing to do with friends. Most helicopter companies offering dedicated photography flights have arrangements for a harness or open door/window that allows for unobstructed shooting.

PS: My picks are #1 and #3. #3 would look great at twilight.

Familiar sights from a different point of view. I like the containers, colorful and kind of abstract.

Enjoyable set! What a cool gift from your girlfriend. You made some pleasing comps for sure and the perspective is wonderful.

No kidding - the scale of it is pretty mind-boggling from above. One of my favorite parts of the tour, not a view you can appreciate from the ground.

I have a question about #6. The highway stack. No traffic? In L.A.? Did you photoshop the cars out?! Lol!
Nice job on the photos! And I drove down the 710 to Long Beach to the Aquarium of the Pacific and saw all those containers.

hah - 6:30pm on a Saturday will do that, especially because this interchange isn't carrying much beach traffic.

This is a great city tour! Thank you for sharing. From a pure photography standpoint the abstract nature of the first image really speaks to me. Good stuff!
