I've tried to capture Manhattanhenge a few times over the past few years and was never successful in any attempt. It's always cloudy right when the sun hits the horizon and it's a wash. After many failed attempts, I gave up, unless I just happened to be in Manhattan on the right day…

A Week In Las Vegas With FlyNYON!
I've flown over New York City a million times and it never seems to get old. I often think of other cities it would be cool to fly around in an open door helicopter and it always seems hard to top NYC. New York is so vast, there's always something new to see. However, it was refreshing to finally see a new perspective on a city I've visited a few times already...

Photo Of The Week 55 - Adding Perspective To Your Photos - New York City
When flying with FlyNYON, it's relatively easy to get yourself great photos of one of the best cities in the world. It's easy to just snap around at whatever you're looking at which is mainly the breathtaking views of the New York City skyline from above. These photos typically WOW people and are unique to add to your portfolio or Instagram profile, but they usually lack the perspective aspect of this type of photography...

Like the title? Sounded like a rap lyrics, didn't it??? Everyone knows the best time to shoot photos is golden hour, or right when the sun is about to set. From 1,500ft in the air though it's a similar story, but on another level...

Photo Of The Week 44 - Winter Storm Advisory? - New York, New York
Another one of the Manhattan skyline but there was something unique about this day. This morning, New York woke up to a winter storm advisory with high winds and heavy snowfall. On my way to the office, it was nothing but pretty outside with the icy roads and extremely limited visibility...

Photo Of The Week 43 - Blue Hour Freedom Tower - New York, New York
I keep getting these purple tones from these Freedom Tower photos. I posted an older image a few weeks ago that was similar in tone and this quickly reminded me of that. We just missed the sunset on this flight so we caught the cityscape just in time for blue hour. Blue hour is easily one of the best times for a FlyNYON flight because even though you don't get the nice warm glow of the sunset, you have the dark ambient light balanced out by all the twinkling city lights turning on bellow. It's really something that's truly unique to any photo experience...

Photo Of The Week 32 - More West Coast Silhouettes - Venice Beach, California
As mentioned in my last post about Venice Beach, one of the best parts about this area of California are the sunsets. I think the best way to utilize sunsets are by shooting silhouettes. They're one of the only ways to isolate the colors and contrast in the sky without capturing a typical boring landscape photo...
