I met DB while shooting down along the riverfront one eveing.
He ask me to shoot some photos of him flying his RC planes and I did.
He was happy and now they are his wallpaper and screen savers.

He told me he was making a bracket for one of his big planes to hold a camera to shoot while in the air.

Here's what he sent me...all I can say is cool :):

First shot is mine of him all the others from his Nikon Coolpix 3700 straight from the camera. He also does video which is also very cool.

I shoot down there all the time so for me these shots give me a different look on the whole scene.

Thanks

Awesome shots!

The setup he's flying looks inexpensive enough it'd be worth a go.
Flying model planes is a lot of fun. Grabbing some cool shots is an exciting
bonus :)
