The Beauty Of High-Rise Architecture, In Photographs The towering structures that loom over us during our walk around the busy city can look similar and bleak. With some of them opting for glass windows and minimal designs on their architecture, we might think that they’re all just bland– but not really!Photographer Chris Hytha decided to document historic high rises to show the different artworks that can be found atop a structure’s spire. Additionally, there is creativity and art involved in the choice of a building’s gilding and signage, which differentiates it from the rest of the city skyline.His initial idea to complete this project was to photograph them from adjacent rooftops, but it proved to be challenging. He then turned to the next idea on his list: photographing from a helicopter with a telephoto lens. This too proved challenging as the costs of renting helicopters were far too expensive for his budget. In the end, he decided to take the photos via drone photography. While he encountered issues with his drone, such as its low resolution, Hytha found a way eventually to solve them. “The high-rise images are created by scanning the building façade with images at each floor level, then manually stitching the series of landscape images into one vertical composition,” he shared. “This technique is time-consuming but well worth it for the extra sharpness and resolution it provides! One of the side effects of this method is the flattening of perspective, making the images almost like an orthographic architectural elevation.”Image credit: Chris Hytha via My Modern Met #photography #drones #dronephotography #highrise #art  

The FPV Drone: Seeing The World Like A BirdThis is what diving from Angel Falls in Venezuela looks like. And no. This footage is not 3D-rendered animation. This is real footage. Yes. This kind of footage is now possible thanks to First Person View (FPV) drones.Ellis van Jason, the videographer who filmed the Angel Falls shot, describes the experience as being like a bird. “You can fly wherever you want.”While the footage produced by the FPV drones istruly breathtaking, it is a costly stunt for the videographer, as there is a possibility that he might lose his drone in the process. This is why Ellis, as well as his student, Julio, advise those who like to give FPV drones a shot to understand the technicalities of the drone, as well as practice flying the drone through simulations.(Image Credit: CNN)#Drone #Photography #DronePhotography #Videography #DroneVideography #Film #FPVDrone #EllisVanJason #AngelFalls #waterfall #Venezuela

Emirates Airline Ad Shows a Flight Attendant Standing on Top of Dubai's Burj KhalifaEmirates Airlines released a new ad showing a flight attendant flipping through a series of large sign cards, with a surprise ending.The short video ad, which was released to celebrate the UAE being moved from the UK's "Red List" in its COVID-19 status, starts normally enough. A woman dressed in the airline's flight attendant uniform flips through the sign cards that read "Moving the UAE to the UK Amber List has made us feel on top of the world. Fly Emirates. Fly Better."Then the camera zooms out to reveal that she's actually standing on top of Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building at 828 m (2,717 ft - that's just over half a mile!)Many people thought that it was an editing trick, that the woman was standing in front of a green screen and the footage of the building was digitally keyed in, but it turned out to be a real stunt.The flight attendant turned out to be skydiver and stuntwoman Nicole Smith-Ludvik, who wrote on her Instagram, "This is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing and exciting stunts I've ever done.A big shout out to Emirates Airlines for your creative marketing idea! It was a pleasure being a part of the team."The video shoot was done by helicopter and drone photography.#EmiratesAirline #stunt #BurjKhalifa #Dubai #UAE #NicoleSmithLudvik #dronephotography #dronevideography

Drone Brings a Bird's Eye View of the Great Pyramid of GizaUkrainian photographer and travel blogger Alexander Ladanivskyy collaborated with the Ministry of Tourism in Egypt to bring us a view of the Great Pyramid of Giza unlike anything we've seen before.Using drone photography, Ladanivskyy managed to bring a bird's eye view of the pyramid. Here, we can see the pyramid's tip, which used to have a golden Pyramidion (now long lost to history).Instead, we could see that the top blocks on the tip of the pyramids had various etchings that travelers had left throughout the centuries, long before the pyramids had better security.#pyramid #pyramidion #GreatPyramidofGiza #Egypt #dronephotography #birdseyeview #AlexanderLadanivskyy
