A brighter Belfast from 220feet

At long last a break in the weather.  Today saw us standing on a roof top 220ft above Belfast for this image.  We have waited almost 6 weeks for this one particular photograph.
Technically not a difficult shoot but in other respects challenging, as the winds were howling 20-25mph at ground level.  A few times I did have the heart miss a beat. Certainly not for the faint hearted or light headed.  Its amazing the view from this gallery just beautiful.  Within 15 mins sun gone, rain heavy and blowing worse than ever.
We now have a nice selection of low level images in the area.

January's over

In all the years I've been flying I don't think we've had a worst January for weather.  From winds to snow to rain to winds it certainly hasn't been a month for being in the air.  Its a question of wishing I was up there, rather than praying we make it down again.
However January has been a month for reflection and good house keeping.  All in order now, we look forward to a brighter February.  Those misty mornings full of atmosphere just like in the image below.  Enjoy.

Inch Abbey

Following a recent enquiry in respect of our UAV operations, we were asked how good is the quality for archaeology studies.  Quick answer, unbelievable.  Our unmanned aerial units, use professional Canon cameras for which we have a reasonable selection of lenses.  Depending on client brief we select the best equipment.  The image for this post has been loaded from a study at Inch Abbey, Downpatrick.  

We spent two hours on site and obtained views which prior to this have never been captured.  From low level to vertical down shots of the whole site.  

We provide all necessary on site equipment, computers, monitors, high definition viewing goggles and even our own generator for the recharging of batteries.

If you would like further information do contact the office.
