The advent of drones has now made what was once a very expensive pastime a reality for many. No longer is it a necessity to hire a plane to take to the skies with advances in drone technology meaning that we are now able to see the world from a different perspective and in many places where planes are not readily available.

That said, there really is no substitute for actually being up in the air yourself with a camera in hand trying to construct an image through an open window or better still a plane with the door off!

This set of images is a mixture of both drone and plane photographs which I hope show the difference and abstract beauty of the earth from above.
