Hi- That guy does know how to, crop, "photoshop"  and pick subject when viewed from the air seem to pop. I see I still have a lot to learn about aerial photos that would have commercial value or appeal.

Good Eye! This guy must fly a bit, look at the locations? Maryland, Virginia, Orlando, Italy, Hawaii, Washington, New Mexico. Just sticking a camera out the window? So I did a little search.

I'm thinking drone and Go Pro. Plus I already have two Go Pros...   :) Can't afford the drone, yet.

I have that combo and it's a blast! I fly my GoPro on a Parrot A.R. Drone 2.0 ($250USD) rather than the more popular, pricier ($860USD) DJI Phantom. I just don't have the cash to spare for a Phantom, even though I would love to own one!
