Here are some aerial shots taken this morning in Santa Cruz with Tom Gruber and John Markoff. The aerial shots were taken with a Ricoh GR APS-C compact camera mounted to a Phantom 2 (with FPV and remote shutter release). Land shots taken with a Sony RX1R. The technical post about how to do this is coming. For now, enjoy the pictures and a link to a sample raw DNG file from the camera (1/3200 sec at f/7.1, ISO 800).
