Philadelphia Skyline Aerials of Live8 Concert Video

 

 

 

 

 

November 15th, 2011


For this shoot we used a Cessna 172 a very small high wing airplane and shot out of the open window. I used and image stabilizer to reduce vibration and motion and ended up capturing some of my favorite aerial images of Philadelphia. Live8 was a World event so it was really cool to see such a huge crowd gathered on Ben Franklin Parkway in support of such a good cause. Air traffic was very heavy over the concert so we had to get special permission to get into the airspace and coordinate with the Banner Planes, media and police helicopters also covering the concert. We only got a couple passes but ended up with some really great angles of the crowds from different aerial vantage points.
