Aerial photography is the taking of photographs from light aircraft and other flying machines. The same thing but with video is called aerial videography.

It is one of the most interesting genres of photo(video)graphy that allows you to see an area — usually natural landscapes, various separate structures, and entire cities — from a bird's-eye view. With the development of drones, it become more popular. Now you can get a panoramic picture (or video) directly from the ground, it is not necessary to rent a plane anymore, which is often simply expensive and also requires special skills to shoot from a moving plane.

Among the users of the Windy.app application and site there are many fans of air sports, which are also amateur and professional photographers, who practice this genre.

So in this selection, we have compiled the best pictures they have posted in the community in the second half of 2022. These photos are taken while flying various aircrafts, including commercial airlines and air balloons, but also taking cable cars and ski lifts, climbing high hills and mountains, and, of course, using the drones.

Enjoy the photos and post yours to be included in the next selection.
