Intrepid adventurer and videographer Ted Hayes, shooting for Engineering Publications. How's this for a day job? Photography by gracious employer Ron Franklin. SPECIAL THANKS to amazing pilot Ed Walsh and amazing bucket truck operator Duke Reid!! http://www.eng.ufl.edu/home/pubs/

Shooting with the Canon XL-1, using the 16x zoom lens with image stabilisation on. I assume the neutral density filter was also automatically on, it was pretty damn bright out there. We're flying at about 1500 feet in a Cessna 147M, now owned by the College of Engineering Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering (CCE).*
Viewed: 437 times.
Great lighting, eh? Exposure adjusted to the outside. Aperture is probably pretty close to all the way shut.
Viewed: 380 times.
Exposure adjusted to the interior, so the exterior is blown out.*
Viewed: 382 times.
Shooting this way actually really hurt my side, as I was twisted around quite unnaturally.
Viewed: 379 times.
Why do people demand you look at the camera? I'll never understand.
Viewed: 388 times.
Here I am in the bucket of a UF Physical Plant crane. The resulting footage was slightly wobbly on the x axis, as I was using the tripod as a monopod, but the crane panning was quite smooth.

Blue sky! It was a nice day, but warm even at 8 am, especially while wearing that harness.
Viewed: 382 times.
Fully extended it's about 50-60 feet high.
Viewed: 360 times.
Duke accidentally let the bucket hit a lamppost on the way down.
Viewed: 398 times.
For this shot, the Criser entrance with the fountains, we parked the bigass truck in the exiting left turn lane. Suck it, motorists!
Viewed: 395 times.
That's Duke at the controls.

Thanks to Duke Reid, operator extraordinaire! He really was a very friendly guy, more than willing to have a little fun on a Friday morning.
Viewed: 346 times.
I bet if we were shooting in the middle of the school year, I would have gotten more publicity being 50' above the campus' busiest area, Turlington Plaza.
Viewed: 378 times.
Using the wide angle lens: I don't think it has an onboard ND filter, nor does it have IS, which in the case of slow pans is a good thing.
Viewed: 443 times.
