Oakland Panorama

Areal panorama of downtown Oakland with San Francisco in the Background

I was hired to shoot a picture for the new construction in Oakland which had to include landmarks like Lake Merritt, Grand Ave. the Bay Bridge and San Francisco. My quadcopter has a wide-angle lens but even it was not sufficient to get this all in one shot. Backing up wasn’t an option as St. Paul’s towers were in the way. Thankfully, we were granted permission to launch from the roof deck of those towers and positioned the aircraft significantly to the right of the towers and took 3 shots, rotating the aircraft about 30° from that fixed position. The quadcopter is satellite tracked which allows it to maintain a solid position while in the air. We then stitched this beautiful Oakland Panorama in Photoshop.

It’s amazing the amount of new construction in Oakland these days!?!

Booming Mission Bay

DI-24388

For those of you who don’t live in San Francisco, the extent of the housing boom magnitude is probably not fully grasped. I was hired to do some pick ups by a new client who has one of the more finished buildings in Mission Bay. It was a real challenge to get shots of and from their building without the massive construction projects becoming the focus -in some cases, it was just impossible. Fortunately, I’ll be returning there when more of the surrounding construction is completed.
