Sorry Guys i had to break the rule, i had to go above the streets , normally i shoot the street from below getting the interesting geometric composition of the streets and its day walkers, but this time i wanted to have a view of the streets and how it looks from aerial view.
The streets look so stunning from above, sometime i wish i could have a pilot friend to fly me around while shooting the streets from above. Anyway that's my wish, besides that, there are many ways to shoot the streets from above, the most efficient and affordable way is by trying to find the tallest building in your city get the legal access from the management then climb to the top ....Mount your camera in your tripod in this case to get steady and a balanced picture.
other ways of shooting the streets from above are ,
aircraft,
helicopters,
multirotor Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS),
balloons,
blimps and
dirigibles,
rockets,
kites,
parachutes Drones.
I prefer using the tallest building because it affordable, efficient, yo can do a lot, you take your time Adjusting your camera and mounting it..then shoot at your own pace unlike the helicopter where everything is limited and expensive.....
when i shoot the streets i normally use my free hand because of the flexibility not unless am shooting light trails (long exposure)...this will force me to use a tripod .(You need a tripod (or some other way to making your camera
completely still) as you’ll be shooting with long shutter speeds which
will make shooting handheld pretty much impossible.).
On aerial photography above i used a Tripod because i was in a flat surface where i could mount my camera...and this enable me to get a nice city scape or a street view from above....the photo above was shot at KICC Nairobi courtesy of Slick photo by Jessy kigen .......Am out..My story there life's ..
