Gondola Ride into the Sunset

Stateline, California
December 31, 2015 by Matt Spangard

The last time we went to Tahoe, we stayed just at the base of the "new" Heavenly village. Watching the gondolas fly by your window is a great way to get stoked to get on the mountain. These guys are headed up to the Tamarack Lodge for some fun at the "Unbuckle Aprés Ski" on-mountain nightclub. These guys won't be the only ones partying tonight!

This photograph was captured with a Sony NEX-7.

Ravenel Bridge

Charleston, South Carolina
December 30, 2015 by Matt Spangard

There's the Old Bridge. There's the New Bridge. And then there's the Ravenel Bridge. All three have moved me in different ways over the years. The Old Bridge moved me by fear. The New Bridge moved me by the excitement of what lay ahead. The Ravenel Bridge moves me by beauty. I've never traversed it without a giant smile on my face. 

This panorama was captured from the deck of the USS Yorktown with a Sony NEX-7.

Geometry Wars

Playa Mujeres, Mexico
December 26, 2015 by Matt Spangard

If the East Coast isn't going to embrace winter, I think I'll just go with it. Here's an aerial photograph of the wonderful Secrets Playa Mujeres. The resort is about 30 minutes and a lifetime away from Cancún.

This photograph was captured with a DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone. You can learn more about it on the Gear page.

Waiting for Santa

Charlotte, North Carolina
December 25, 2015 by Matt Spangard

All Christmas Eve preparations are complete. And so, we pass the baton on to Santa to take care of the rest. Looking forward to the some genuine "Wii freakouts" in the morning!

Merry Christmas!

Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men

Barcelona, Spain
December 24, 2015 by Matt Spangard

These doves can be found high atop La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. The sheer vision of Gaudí in his design of La Sagrada Familia is as immense as the structure itself, with small details like these hundreds of feet up in the air. 

May this holiday season bring you peace and goodwill to all.

Fort Sumter I

Charleston Harbor, South Carolina
December 23, 2015 by Matt Spangard

Located in Charleston Harbor, Fort Sumter is one of the most important and well-known forts in American history. Only accessible by boat, visiting is like taking a step back through time. I took off across the channel near Fort Moultrie on Sullivans Island and covered the mile or so by air, zipping past all of the boats entering the harbor. It's not quite the same as stepping foot on the hallowed ground that is Fort Sumter but I gained a different perspective and was able to do the round trip in 15 minutes, rather than the usual half-day boat excursion.

This photograph was captured with a DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone.
