This breathtaking sunrise was revealed in front of my eyes on June 14, 2016. When I made myself get up around 5:30am I was not sure if I could keep my eyes open and the possibility of going right back to sleep was quite strong. Then I looked out through the bathroom window in our house on Chesapeake Bay. What I saw pumped enough adrenaline into my veins to forget about sleep. The sky was already...

The best part of shooting weddings is that they take you places. Last Thursday we have arrived to Rehoboth Beach, DE area for two weddings that we are photographing this weekend. Yesterday I woke up for sunrise and started exploring the local area. There was a lot of fields with agricultural machines spread all over and they would certainly make for an interesting aerial but none of them were at...

The Lighthouse at Turkey Point was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, which I think raises its significance as a landmark quite a bit. You can hear from Clint Eastwood fans that one of the scenes for his movie Absolute Power (1997) was filmed at the location: To get to the lighthouse and the tip of the Peninsula you need to park your car at the trail head and hike...

Tonight we were driving through Pennsylvania towards home in Maryland when this amazing sunset was developing. We knew that if there was an opportunity to capture something spectacular the drone would go up in the air immediately. There was nothing however until we drove around a curve on a local road near Longwood Gardens. Blonnie looked to the right and said "David you have to get this..."....

According to 2010 census data the population of Wilmington, DE is about 70 thousand people. I find that interesting because that is also the population of my hometown Tarnowskie Góry in Poland (have yet to take aerial photos of that one... but one day I will!). These two places however couldn't possibly be more different, starting with their opposite ends of the World locations, through the cities...

After our last visit to Conowingo Dam (you can actually see it in the distant background of the photo above) when driving off to head back home we saw a glimpse of this bridge. It briefly showed up in the left window of the car and even though it doesn't look like much from the distance I wanted to research more. Yesterday I found a byway that leads straight to it and decided to give it a shot at...

Chestertown, MD is listed on more than one website as one of the cuttest little towns in Maryland that you should definitely visit when in the area. For a reason! The waterfront is beautiful and there's more than a few restaurants that offer delicious dinner options. Wikipedia tells us that in the mid-eighteenth century, Chestertown trailed onlyAnnapolis and was considered Maryland's second...

On a VERY cold April morning I made my way to Conowingo Dam and captured this stitched image with Phantom 4. Due to time restrictions of this particular morning (kids have to go to school) I was only able to have the drone in the air for about 10 minutes. Actually staying for longer would be difficult as it was freezing anyway. Flying while wearing gloves is difficult and dangerous so I don't do...

This was a gloomy, rainy, sleepy day in our home town. The forecast wasn't giving any hope for a change in the evening and around 5pm I thought there would be no drone in the air. However, thing started changing dramatically around 6:30pm. What appeared to be a thick cloud cover gave way to clear sky and eventually the sun found it's way through. I decided to fly right from the backyard of our...

I haven't lived in Maryland for long. Not even a year actually. My permanent residence in USA started in New Jersey. Then I moved to "downstate" New York for about four years. Then came time for Philadelphia, where during my last year in the city I started my adventure with drones and created Fly like an Eagle. In the middle of 2015 myself and my wonderful girlfriend Blonnie moved to MD. Prior to...
