Aerial imaging using consumer-level “drones” is now within reach of any photographer.
In the past few years, developments in a new form of remote-controlled unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) called “multi-rotors” have opened up easy-to-accomplish, aerial imagery to photography on a budget.
Eric Cheng is a world class photographer and does a great job of explaining how you can get into aerial shooting.

I’ve always wanted to shoot Arial, too.
…You meant “aerial”, right?
way cool…
No, I think Jim was right. We should shoot Arial and Verdana while we’re at it
DOH! Fixed now.
Jim is always right (just ask him. He’ll tell you himself) but he didn’t make that mistake or write this story.
Someone should get an ariel shot of Jim’s head top. This way you show him proof he is going bald. 🙂
“Leave Verdana alone!!!”
As long as it doesn’t look like Ariel, the Little Mermaid.
