Photo by Matthew Hanlon. “This was taken during a demo of the Metal Mulisha team riders [freestyle motocross] in the parking lot of a mall in Wayne, New Jersey. It was great to see people walking out to their cars and looking up to see these bikes 50 feet in the air. I knew the riders would be doing a range of tricks and I caught a bit of the action. This particular one is a variation of the classic ’super-man-seat-grab.’ “

Hanlon used a Canon 1d Mark II and a fast shutter speed. He did some post production in Photoshop on the color balance.

Photos by aerial photographer Jason Hawkes. This series (except for the last image) was done for a tie-in book for the BBC television series entitled “Britain from Above.” Hawkes spent three months flying throughout the UK to get these scenes and shot the images from a twin star helicopter using a Nikon D3, with either a 14-24mm or 70-200mm lens. For some of the shots, Hawkes was tethered to his MacBook Pro to check the sharpness of his images as he took them. The night images were shot using a mount with triple stabilizers mounted on the floor of the helicopter. Hawkes, who is based just outside London and works worldwide, has produced over 35 aerial photographic books for publishers such as the BBC, Random House and Harper Collins in the U.K., Europe and the U.S.
