The empty streets of Reno.
Well in reality, I had to wait a little while for the street to clear to get an “empty street” shot. The people of Nevada (including myself) aren't all obeying that stay at home order. It's disconcerting seeing groups of people walking around making jokes about the quarantine or calling it a government hoax.

Part 3 of my little video series titled, "How NOT to crash your drone". This video focuses primarily on Lipo Batteries.
Note... if you don't fly drones you may want to skip this ;-)

LiPo Batteries are somewhat safe these days but when mistreated, they can transform into a flaming gremlin that will burn your house down. If your lucky, mis...
When you are on a hike and spot a beaver doing laps in the lake that you’re walking next to. It’s the first time I have ever seen one of these things in Beat Mountain. Now if I could get him to sit on that log for a photo. �

A 20-second exposure, on a sand dune outside of Vegas during a nonexistent meteor shower.
When it's dark out, focusing a DSLR on the sky can be annoying especially when my wide-angle lens can focus past infinity.
To fine-tune my focus I can take some test shots (at 20 seconds apiece), display the images on my LCD screen and when the points on the horizon are sharp ill have my focus set.
On this specific night, I had heard that there was going to be a meteor shower. If the meteors started falling, I didn't want to waste time focusing my lens in the dark. So I had the thought that I could just set my focus on some distant object during the day, tape my focus ring to the spot I wanted and shoot away when the meteors started their show.
I was happy with my little plan, and it worked well, but the meteors didn't get the memo that they were supposed to show up that night so I just got a few photos of myself standing around in the desert. Next time.

One of the places that inspired me to drive my jeep across the country was a little manmade wonder called, “Carhenge". I heard about this spot in 1996 and always had it in the back of my mind that I would drive across the country and snap a few pics. In 2016, I saw another article about it and realized that 20 years had gone by since first heard about that place. The next thing I did was pick a date, 6 months in the future and mark down, "drive across the country".
Carhenge is a replica of England's Stonehenge located near the city of Alliance, Nebraska. It was conceived in 1987 by Jim Reinders as a memorial to his father.
How about a little greenery right about now? NY is getting to be a little too gray for me.

JUST IN TIME! The US calendars finally arrived at my studio! I am shipping them out today along with Larchmont Calendars. If you would like to have your calendar arrive before Christmas I would need to mail your calendar out tomorrow.
https://www.osullivanstudios.com/2020calendars/
This weekend I will be bringing up a limited supply to, "The Bott Shoppe" in Mamaroneck (174 East Boston Post Road). They will retail for $20. Thanks again to everyone that nudged me to put these together along with everyone that ordered one. It's been a lot of work but it's been really rewarding to hear how people like them.
Happy Holidays!
It’s a tough night to be a delivery guy tonight. 🥶
Last year, when I initially posted that I created a calendar for Larchmont consisting of all aerial photos, I someone left a comment saying something to the effect of, "Sorry, I like close-ups better". Well, I do listen to all constructive criticism and I took a photo as close to the ground as I could get... and you know what.. I kind of like it. The "ground" photo is now the cover. Thanks Carol!
If you would like to order the calendar or just take a look at the images in it, click the link in my bio. �

Sunset at flint park!
One of the months from my 2020 Larchmont Calendar.
After a number of last-minute requests, I decided to create a new Aerial calendar for Larchmont. Instead of collecting orders and then printing a batch of calendars I printed up the same amount of calendars that sold last year and now I am taking orders. I'm doing this so to help shave a few days off the production run as well as make sure they are wrapped in a protective envelope.
Thanks for the constant bombardment of 2020 Calendar requests and Happy Holidays.

When I find spots like this, I file them away in my brain to go back and shoot under different weather conditions. This one will be filed under, “shoot after a snow storm, a few min after the sunsets” 🤓

It’s my first time trying to capture a shot like this. I just have to find one of those old school steam engine trains now. It’s too easy for the electric trains to outrun my little drone.

To my fellow drone operators out there..... I created this short-ish video to help outline a few of the precautions I take whenever I fly a drone from a boat. I have learned a few of these lessons the hard way so why not learn from my hard knocks.

Today I had a shoot at some park near Engelwood Cliffs. While driving back home I looked to my left and saw a view of the GW bridge that I had never seen before. I just had to pull over and grab this shot.

I haven't been back to Larchmont in a few months. So when I was scheduled to be in town early in the morning I figured I'd stop by Manor Park and snap a pic of the sunrise.
It’s just one of those NYC cloudy/rainy days.

For every image I post, there a a number of images that never see the light of day. Sometimes I just post what I think is the best, “technical”, shot of one particular subject. Other times, I just post a shot that like even though to most people it might not be the best shot. Which shot do you like?

This is actually two shots of Emerald Bay. I went to shoot the sunset at 8:30 but there were no clouds. I went back at 2 am to get a “Milky Way” shots but as I found my spot the clouds came in.
How well do you know space stuff? If you look carefully you will see three short white lines in the image... they aren’t airplanes. Comment below what you think they are.
I love when the sky does this.

A while back I was testing out a new camera rig while my buddies were pressing apples to make cider. I figured i'd cut togeter a short video with the footage. :-)
As I setup by the side of the road to do some test shots of the Milky Way, cars kept lighting up the scene as they drove by. I wanted it to be as dark as I could get the scene but the frequency of cars didn’t allow for that so I just started shooting. Ironically, my favorite shot was when the high beams of a car illuminated the trees in the foreground of my shot…. go figure.
Shot this piece with @mrlynch to help @classicharborline to help kick off their #WorldPrideNYC season.��This June Classic Harbor Line will be hosting Pride Sails every Saturday from 1 to 3pm. The best part? One-hundred percent of the ticket sales will go to the @HetrickMartin Institute.

Lake Tahoe Balloons is the only ballooning operation in the world where the entire process begins & ends on the deck of a boat! Here is a short clip of them getting ready to take off. Aerials were shot with an Inspire 2.

Shooting a "hyper-laps" is basically, pointing your camera at a distant object, pressing the shutter, taking a step forward, refocusing, recomposing and taking the exact same shot from before... but just a little closer. Tonight, I followed @marcusmoller_dp across the Brooklyn bridge tonight as he demonstrated to me how he shoots them. I didn't want to duplicate what he was shooting so I figured I'd just shoot him as we spent two hours crossing the bridge. #hyperlaps #brooklynbridge #nyc #nikon #timelaps #camping #coldnights

This implosion had to be one of the coolest things that I have ever shot with a drone. Watching the footage live and then feeling the impact of the shockwave on my chest was surreal. Normally, drones don’t record audio, so I set up a separate camera, with a big microphone pointing at the bridge which was mostly blocked by a tree. Unfortunately, people assumed that my “fancy camera” was an indication that it was the best viewing spot so they surround the camera and got their own cameras ready while they chatted directly into my microphone. Despite the fact that I keep telling them that the best spot for a photo was about 50 feet to the left (and that's true BTW) they stuck around. I asked them multiple times not to try and talk directly into the mic... they ignored me. My favorite line, from their constant talking, is at 30 seconds. #Karma

Every now and again I like to practice shooting various subjects. My goal is to create smooth camera movements, figure out ways to reveal the subject matter and or just see how close I can fly next to an object. I was driving though Tahoe at sunset and figured why not just get out and try and shoot a boring group of trees and make something interesting. #camping #mavicpro

Every 100 years, an epic dingy battle takes place in the middle of Long Island Sound. Two fleets of boats converge on one another until only one fleet is left. I was lucky enough to be out flying my drone when the masts started flying.
My goal was to try and track the motion of the clouds as they traveled across the sky. I actually used a home-made protractor, to help make the calculation. I realized I my calculations were a little off as the camera started to outrun the clouds but I finally got to use that geometry lesson that never thought I would have to use.
The footage that I captured of this sailboat, one cold winter day, has been helping me illustrate to some directors, the types of shots that are great for drones to obtain; as well as how they can help reveal or isolate a subject. I assembled a quick edit of these types of shots in this short video. I hope you get something out of it.
Back in 2016, I drove a huge circle around the US. Along the way, I collected some footage for a few clients as well as shot some stock footage to potentially sell later. While looking back through my footage, I realized I shot quite a few "dronies" so I decided to compile a few of them into this short video.
I took a DJI Mavic drone out to the the Black Rock desert to practice flying around a moving car. Out of curiosity, we drove out to the area where they hold Burning Man. Never did I expect to see what the drone picked up. Music: The Epicness By: J.t. Peterson a Sky Productions
4 years ago I asked my gardner, "The next time you have a really tall tree to cut, can I strap a GoPro on the guy that climbs the tree?.... I'll make a 60 commercial for you". He looked at me sideways and said, "sure". Unfortunately, the battery ran out and the footage was lost. I recently discovered a script that can resurrect the broken video file and found these shots. Enjoy!
A quick look back at a few aerial shoots from 2016
Shot this the other day on some back road. I'll have to add some music but the battery on my laptop is too low to look around at the moment.
The thing that some people don't think of during fireworks shows is that is a small group of guys literally risking their life to provide people with some entertainment. Not only do they work hard in the sun for 12 hours, moving boxes, wiring charges, checking their wiring, checking their wiring again, and then checking them again but even if they do everything right there still might be an issue. However, unlike your typical work "hiccup", a "hiccup" for them can get them killed. If you look at the left hand side of the barge, there is a small wooden structure. Inside three are three guys setting these things off. After the explosion, they were all OK but when I asked one of them what they were thinking when the explosions started on the barge one of the techs replied, "I was pissed because the show was ruined for everyone"
