Featured Photographer in Aerial Photography Article

I recently did a Google search on my photographic works and found one of my photos being featured in an article written by Jonathan Dy, for WordPress About, showcasing "30 Amazing Photographs of Aerial Photography". To go to the article, click on this link: http://www.wpabout.com/wordpress-themes/aerial-photography-30-amazing-examples

It's an honour to have some of your work showcased in this way, up there with the best aerial photographers in the world. The photo is part of a collection of images I captured from a sea plane over the Great Barrier Reef National Park in late 2009. Interestingly, some of the underwater photography images I managed to capture on that adventure have also been showcased by other online blogs.

No doubt, aerial photography is one of my all-time favourite genres - the thrill of the adventure, coupled with the unique perspective makes it a standout experience, as a photographer. My dream job would be to build a collection of natural landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes, hanging out of a door less helicopter or light aircraft, finding the artistic composition in what lies beneath. 

I might have my head in the clouds (pun intended) when it comes to this dream being realised but you never know when a benefactor or corporate entity might come along and say "now is the time to make that aerial photography dream a reality".

Here is the aerial photography example used by WordPress in their article published on the 13th July 2011:

Aerial photography really is an adventure ride for a photographer. Competing with the elements of movement, changing lighting conditions and the force of wind against the telephoto lens makes for an interesting experience. Add to that the lack of a helicopter door and just a harness to strap you in, you can appreciate the adrenalin rush that makes aerial photography my favourite type of photo shoot experience.

To combat the elements, I use a top range telephoto lens with an image stabilization unit. This helps to capture great quality aerial photography images without the shutter shake. Looking at the images during editing, I was amazed to see such increadible detail captured within the breaking waves.

Printed at A1 size, these aerial photography images would look amazing along the plain coridoors and walls of workspace offices and boardrooms. There's nothing like a unique perspective of our beautiful planet to enliven the senses and lift your spirits. Coupled with the Great Barrier Reef, Whitsunday Islands and Grand Canyon collections, these Hawaiian Islands landscape photography images are going to make for a delightful exhibition.

Aerial photography for a unique perspective by photographer Markham Lane.

Many professional photographers wander the planet looking to capture something unique, to show the world a viewpoint of itself that we hadn't already considered. I too have this burning desire, this driving force that whispers into my soul, encouraging me to break free of my own limitations and to take flight.

I remember in the late 1980's when I was just a budding enthusiast, seeing pictures of planet Earth from a satellite and I remember thinking then that it would only be a matter of time before the power of photography would reach into the homes of everyday people. Fast forward to the new millenium and say "hello Google Earth", here we are.

Yet, despite the advancements into technology, aerial photography still has the power to impress us and is, to this day, still a largely untapped market. Is it the sense of "godliness" that it provides us with that makes it so powerful? Whatever the reason, I'm sure to keep my passion for aerial photography alive so long as it continues to deliver on the promise of WOW.
