Bird‘s-eye views provide an aerial perspective of a subject. They may be captured using various means – hot air balloon, aeroplane, helicopter, tall buildings or drone – providing aerial photographs.

Forest Bird Eye View provides an enchanting journey over the tropical rainforest of northern Queensland, allowing you to search the trees for creatures found within it while taking in its remarkable symmetry and landscape beauty.

Cityscapes

Bird’s-eye views offer an intriguing perspective of cityscapes, creating an impressive scene to the viewers below. This photography style has become increasingly popular as it gives audiences another viewpoint of city life; however, this requires planning and skill in order to be effective.

Finding an appropriate location is the first step toward shooting cityscapes from an aerial viewpoint, whether that means searching a park, building, or any other space with views of the cityscapes from above. Make sure the space you select has permission from local authorities before beginning shooting pictures there.

As soon as you’ve located an ideal spot, setup your camera and begin taking test shots to familiarise yourself with it. Select a lens suitable for this kind of shot – wide-angle lenses tend to capture more details while creating dynamic images.

You should experiment with different composition techniques when taking bird’s-eye views of cities, such as using the rule of thirds or golden ratio to create more engaging images. Also experiment with using contrast colors for striking photos!

Another tip for capturing bird’s-eye views is to take advantage of the cityscape’s symmetry. Most people may not notice it from ground level, but from above it becomes much clearer; tall buildings often boast beautiful symmetrical lines which come into focus once seen from above.

Bird’s eye view photography can be both entertaining and educational; not only can it capture the beauty of landscapes and cities from an eye-level view, it can also demonstrate your photographic skill by competing against other photographers on social media with your photos; such competition will encourage further improvement while simultaneously fueling more desire to capture beautiful sights from this unique viewpoint.

Mountainous Landscapes

Mountainous landscapes are striking sights to behold from any perspective, but especially so from above. Bird’s-eye views provide the chance to capture an impressive array of peaks and altitudes at once in one frame – creating depth while emphasizing differences within the landscape. To add human scale and create shadows that resemble massive figures partially hidden by sunlight.

Images captured from drones or from ground or aerial perspectives can be captured using any number of methods, from drones to ground photographs and helicopter shots. You may find beautiful forests and mountainous landscapes at many tourist destinations; rainforests offer even closer up glimpses at exotic creatures that inhabit these lush environments, like the Kuranda tree frog (Litoria myola).

To create bird’s-eye shots, you will require a camera with a wide-angle lens and tripod to steady it. When shooting in an outdoor environment, be sure to bring a rain cover for protection of both yourself and the camera; use both as tools to avoid blurry photos.

Bird’s-eye views offer several distinct advantages when taking pictures from above: you can capture both foreground and background elements within one shot, adding depth to the scene as well as helping you focus in on particular parts of it.

As well as emphasizing depth, bird’s eye views also highlight geometric forms and shapes. This can be particularly evident when photographing large parks or squares from a high vantage point; when photographing landscapes from this perspective you can play around with mountain colors – green mountains may become purple or blue depending on how much light there is in the sky, creating stunning contrast with other areas of your landscape and being quite dramatic! For optimal results it is advised that you use low ISO values so as to reduce noise in your image.

Animals

Bird’s-eye views can reveal beauty that’s often hidden at ground-level. A single tree in a forest, for instance, can look absolutely breathtaking when photographed from above; similarly, repeated shapes in buildings often become striking when seen from an aerial perspective.

Unique viewpoints provide an amazing insight into animal habitats. You may discover, for instance, Kuranda Tree Frogs (Litoria myola), native to Far North Queensland but only found in rainforests protected from logging.

If you can’t reach high points with your camera, a tripod can help elevate and stabilize it to prevent blurry images from coming through. A ladder or chair may also come in handy to get above your subject and capture an excellent shot.

Plants

Bird’s eye views reveal an entirely new side to plants’ beauty when seen from above. A large park or square may become circular from above; similarly, trees resemble giant circles and groves while flora often takes geometric forms. Furthermore, birds help spread seeds across large expanses, playing an essential part in biodiversity.

From this viewpoint, artists can capture the magic and mystery of birdlife. At The Wildling’s exhibition Bird’s Eye View by Chris Maynard, Chester Wilcox, David Tomb and Shae Warnick’s works explore various aspects of bird life.

From above, you’ll take in breathtaking aerial views of a rainforest canopy and its diverse ecosystems. You may spot rare species like the Kuranda Tree Frog (Litoria myola), only found in one rainforest in Far North Queensland. And as you float effortlessly through its canopy and marvel at this exquisite natural environment.
