Chesapeake River Sunrise

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...

Coursey Pond Sunrise

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...

Riverside, NJ

I was lucky to have enough downtime during yesterday's wedding to sneak out of the venue and capture this photo. The sunset was just too good to not use the opportunity. This exceptionally beautiful building in Riverside, NJ looked absolutely amazing illuminated by the day's last rays of light. I got thePhantom 4 out of the bag and thanks to its super portable design I was ready to fly in less...

Early Morning Cityscape

Very early morning trip to capture the first light of the day paid off again. The city of Wilmington, DE looks especially good during the elusive moment when the night is giving way to the coming day. That moment happened at exactly 5:50am this morning. I was double motivated to create a new aerial stitched panorama because for the past week we've had nothing but clouds and overcast skies on the...

Northampton Valley Country Club

This was an amazing turn of events after the entire week of really depressing weather. It seems that the entire East Coast of US has been hiding under a thick cloud cover. There just was no sun. None of it. There was daylight but not a single ray of sun. For a week. Most of those days it was also raining pretty bad! No wonder that our bride was concerned. Of course the last thing you want on your...

When to fly drones: choose the best lighting for your location!

https://youtu.be/TT30Xe-UInA The opening shots in this video were taken on a different day than the monologue recording (just in case this isn't obvious from the film!). If I count correctly this crazy cloud cover has been hanging over Easter US for about a full week now. It's not that you can't fly and get something interesting... my goal is to get the spectacular and stunning. In the meantime...

Back to Wilmington, DE

It's hard to keep getting up so early in the morning... mainly because all my life I never really was a morning person! When I was in high school I played lots of computer games, when I was in college I would have online discussions about the very sense of existence and the outer limits of the Universe with people in USA (I lived in Poland for the first 26 years of my life). When I started doing...

A chance sunset in North East, MD

We drove by St Mary Anne's Episcopal church on Main Street so many times and almost every time we did I thought to myself "one day I have to come here especially for this!". Tonight was that evening. I thought the sunset shoot wasn't happening after the entire day of rainy clouds covering the entire sky above us... and about an hour before sunset time the sun said hello. Well... I had a new...

Turkey Point, Maryland

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...
