Four seasons of the Wanaque Reservior. Photographed 400 feet above Alta Vista Drive in Ringwood from my drone.

I had the pleasure of photographing this amazing home in upstate NY for Buffalo Lumber. Situated on a large horse farm, it has quite an amazing outdoor patio space. Images were taken with everything from a 10mm wide angle lens to my drone several hundred feet from above. 

Be careful when entering photo contests!

Since I was recently granted my FAA drone license, I've received spam from a bunch of photo contests. I was about to submit to one before reading the following rules:

CONTEST TERMS AND CONDITIONS

BY SUBMITTING YOUR PHOTO YOU ARE AGREEING TO:

1.1 Submit an original photo that belongs solely to you, the Pilot.

1.2 Grant the copyright to your photograph to Fly4.Me;

Basically, you may win $100, but they are now the owner and creator of your image.....YEAH RIGHT!!!

Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing the nation's second greenest school for Mitsubishi Electric.

The Willow School in Gladstone, NJ generates uses 70% less energy than a comparable school, is made of reusable materials, and collects rain water. Hopefully our grand kids will go to a similar school.

A look at Cupsaw Lake in Ringwood NJ and the Appalachian Mountains in the distance from 350 feet directly above my house.
