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...

Photo Of The Week 54 - All The NYC Icons In One Image - Staten Island, NY
Staten Island is known mostly for having the Staten Island Ferry which is a free ferry boat that commutes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week back and forth from Staten Island and Manhattan. It's a big tourist attraction since it's free and also has great views of downtown Manhattan and the Statue Of Liberty. For many, many years I've skated this part of the Island and especially the Staten Island Yankee Stadium which offers this view of lower Manhattan as well but I somehow never noticed how far back the view reached...

Photo Of The Week 53 - Golden Hour Freedom Tower - New York, NY
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 50 - Selective Sony Focus - New York, NY
Sony has a lot of great cameras out now from the A7 line up to the newly announced A9 coming out soon. However, they're still trying to catch up on the glass game with their competitors. I've been shooting Sony for about a year and a half and still managed to hold on to a few Canon lenses that I can't bring myself to get rid of. There are also a few lenses that Sony hasn't even made at all yet, like tilt-shift lenses. I'm still new to using tilt shift lenses but I would LOVE for Sony to make a few...

Photo Of The Week 49 - Highest Point In Bangkok - Bangkok, Thailand
I have a top travel tip for everyone who is on the move: Whenever you're in a new place, always try to get as high as possible! (Elevation, not drugs) Being up above everything gives you a great and different perspective on where ever you are in the world...

Photo Of The Week 48 - Maeklong Train Market - Samut Songkhram, Thailand
You can travel all around the world and keep hanging out at white sandy beaches or taking selfies at your resort pool but there are many other reasons to travel and see new places. This is a site that's truly unique to Thailand and is something that most likely wouldn't be replicated anywhere else in the world...

Photo Of The Week 46 - Bridging The Gap - New York, New York
There is obviously a TON of amazing cityscapes to see from the sky and most of them give you a different perspective on every day things. Seeing skyscrapers from above is one thing but seeing bridges and rivers is another. For whatever reason, you really get a sense of scale with these things over the typical jaw dropping Freedom Tower and Empire State Building...

Photo Of The Week 45 - Downtown Street Photography - New York, New York
I'm taking a break from the air and am back on the ground now for this weeks photo of the week. I took advantage of a brief hour or so that I had to wander around downtown and almost forgot how much there is to photograph in this little area. Usually, photos are taken inside of the Oculus but it looks nearly as cool from the outside...
