Aerial photography

Challenge #3 in the Higrob's Challenges series. Hosted by higrob24.

Challenge has finished

Aerial photography is the taking of photographs of the ground from an elevated position. The term usually refers to images in which the camera is not supported by a ground-based structure. Cameras may be hand held or mounted, and photographs may be taken by a photographer, triggered remotely or triggered automatically. Platforms for aerial photography include fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, balloons, blimps and dirigibles, rockets, kites, poles, parachutes,vehicle mounted poles, Buildings. Aerial photography should not be confused with Air-to-Air Photography, when aircraft serve both as a photo platform and subject. I know not strictly speaking Aerial Photogrpahy is not shot from a building, but in order to open this challange up, photos shot from a tall building will be allowed on a photo by photo approval if you can not see the building in the photo
