Australia From Above

I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains.

Australia From Above

Now that my time in Australia is over, I’ve been looking through the thousands of photos I’ve taken.  I just had to invest in a drone whilst in Australia and believe that it offers such a different perspective for landscape photographers.  Whilst the quality of photos from the DJI Mavic Pro will not win any awards (you’re essentially getting smartphone camera photos from up high), I just love being able to capture things that normally you’d never see.  If you wanted to check out some inspiring Australian aerial photography, you’ve come to the right place.

So, without further ado, here’s my collection of drone photos covering 15,000 miles of Australia; from Melbourne to Perth.  There’s something magical about this country which can only really be appreciated from the air.  I could probably spend years and years capturing Australia from the skies and each picture would be unique.  The landscape is so diverse and I hope I’ve been able to capture this.

Let me know your thoughts on drone photography in the comments below.  I’ve put together some tips on drone photography generally here.

      1. Im just reading about your time in Perth. Yes it used to be easy to get jobs if you were from overseas. However as the mining industry has had a downturn, most have moved back to Perth to work. Perth is my home town although I have lived here on the east coast for the last 10 years. Ah the great north west of WA its beautiful. My bestie is right at the moment doing a drive from Perth to – she is just out of Darwin. and loving it except for the humidity. looking forward to reading more of your blog
