Coastal Photography Excitement

Who doesn't like to fly like  bird? And , get a bird's eye view of the earth below.

During our recent trip to New Zealand for the Ironman at Taupo, we could shoot some aerial shots. Sharing a few. Credits Ankush and Ghumakkad. 

Crocodile up in the air! Clouds creating surreal shapes against a setting sun.

So next time on a flight,  grab a window seat and shoot. 
Results will surprise you.

  7. Excellent aerial shots of the sky, sea and the rugged volcanic terrain! Just a small doubt Sir. Were you a Bird in your previous birth, soaring high in the skies with your own wings?
