This post is inspired by my fascination with drone photography. Drones have the power to take the most fabulous, crisp photographs at high altitudes. As great as drone photography is, it is a rather new form of photography that has become popular only recently. This got me wondering how one would take an aerial photograph before the time of drones. I imagine that a lot of the photographs I found were taken from tall buildings. I’ll let you explore these photographs and make your educated guesses!
The side-by-side comparison of this photograph is fascinating. It shows the evolution of one era to the next!
