London From Above

в продолжение Лондонской недели на LAM:

Хочу представить Вам фотографии Jason Hawkes

Джейсон снял эти снимки при помощи камеры, присоединенной к гиростабилизированным установкам с вертолёта Eurocopter AS355, который он нанял (около £1150 (GBP) в час). Фото снимались на фотоаппарат Nikon с оптикой 14-24mm / 70-200mm. Даже при этом, плохие условия освещения и большая вибрация делали съёмку затрудненной.
