Spring schedule

Virginia's Blue Ridge

With winter passing along, our spring schedule is starting to fill up. There is a window of opportunity when the world turns green and the forests are in bud – yet not leafed over. Its a great time of year for aerial shots. And yet winter has its own rewards with clear dry air and accents of blue.

This shot was taken looking south towards Afton, VA as we headed over the Blue Ridge to shoot (an map – more on that later!) a timber stand in Albermarle County.

Happy Mardis Gras!

October Snow Storm on the Blue Ridge

A rare early snow storm in October left the Blue Ridge bathed in fall colors mixed with white. Gorgeous!

The Blue Ridge is Orange and White!

This is a snap from a flight back in March before the tree’s (and everything else) became green.

Clean Water from Mt Crawford to Winchester

We recently shot four waste water treatment facilities in four locations throughout the Shenandoah Valley: North River (Mt. Crawford), Woodstock, Stepens City, and Winchester. These facilities keep our watershed clean!

Posting another Staunton night shot by request!

Below is a 100% crop… shows that the image is a little noisy thanks to the high ISO setting.
