Whitsundays Aerial Photography - Round One

Wed 29th Apr 2009 @ 11:59 AM

A week ago I was given the opportunity to take a scenic flight in a cessna caravan seaplane, an absolutely fantastic experience that I'll never forget.

However tomorrow I may be given the opportunity to fly in a doorless helicopter, that means no obtrusive perspex or glass to meddle with my photos. If that's the case the results should be a thousand times better than these rough shots ;-)
