Aerial Photography

 

DJI Phantom 3 Professional Purchase Link

All aerial photos are shot with the DJI Phantom 3 Professional Quadcopter. This is one of the best machines I have ever purchased. It can fly over a mile and record great photos and video at supreme 4k resolution. Just plug it into your iPad and you can watch video, check battery status and do much more.

Still Photography

My current camera body of choice is the Sony Alpha 7R series camera. This camera sports a tremendous pixel resolution and shoots as a "full frame" image. The build of the camera and quality is amazing. It also weighs about 1/3 as much as a similar Canon or Nikon model. This is ideal for our world travels, and makes photography easy while on tour internationally.

Sony 24-70 Vario-Tessar Lens
These cameras are expensive for amateur photographers, but the image quality is tremendous.  This lens allows you to take landscape photos with ease.

Action Video

We purchased the most recent version of the GoPro camera in April of 2015 and are using it to document our road trips, hikes and scuba expeditions. At the moment I don't have any video to share, but that will change soon hopefully.
