I had been planning a night shoot over the city for some time. Conditions were lining up to be perfect with the forecasts showing a two-day window that was the best for aerial photography I had seen in nearly three years. There are so many reasons why photographing from a helicopter at night simply shouldn’t work. But get the mix of equipment, aircraft, pilot (and photographer) right and you can push the limits of a modern digital camera to produce photographs like these, photographs that I really hope you like.
