NYC Summer Helicopter

Oct 7 2017

I’ve been trying out my luck this summer with helicopter tours of NYC, courtesy of FlyNYON. Regardless of photography, it’s a great experience overall. The pilots are generally well experienced and you can get so close to some of the buildings that you feel like you can touch them!

We played around with different angles and different focal lengths to come up with a few different image styles below. Let me know which you like! You’ll find the full album here.
