A couple of evening shots from last night, downtown Des Moines. I like the way these turned out. I need to get down there more often around sunset! For more information on my aerial photography, visit dsm.photo.

Iowa State Fair Aerial
It’s state fair time in Iowa! Probably one of the largest, well known fairs across the country at that. The Iowa State Fair comes to town every August, and lasts just a little over a week! While I do not condone flying over the crowded fairgrounds, I was able to capture this remote image from a distance. I used a tilt shift filter in Photoshop to give it “model” like look.
Iowa Summer Sunsets
Here are a few more aerial sunsets. This is the perfect time of year to fly in Iowa (mid-summer). It’s time for the state’s annual RAGBRAI bike ride, and the Indianola Hotair Balloon Festival; The Hotair Balloon Classic. I take advantage of the low winds to get out and capture some great images of our midwest views.
Iowa Sunsets
I need to spin off a blog just for my sunset photos. Here’s one from tonight.
Des Moines Sculpture Park
We had some friends in town last weekend, and decided to have an amazing brunch at Americana – Highly Recommended! Directly across the street from Americana is the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, Downtown Des Moines. A great place to burn off a few calories from brunch; be sure to check it out if you are visiting Des Moines!
Waukee Aerial Video
Here is a neat video that I created from several 2015 clips. It is currently the opening video on my Waukee Aerial website dsm.photo.

Waukee Easter Egg Hunt, 2016
Our local Parks & Recreation team put together another successful Easter Egg Hunt at Waukee’s Centennial Park. I captured some aerial photos and video again this year.
Here is the video that I created for the Parks & Rec. It was a nice volunteer opportunity for me. My Aerial Website can be found at http://dsm.photo
