Photographers are often admired for their ability to showcase things in new perspectives. For example, a bird’s eye view can capture a fresh take on a familiar day to day routine. From the boats of the canal to skyscrapers, bird’s eye views have become a huge hit for both commercial and personal photography. People use helicopters, airplanes, hot air balloons, and even drones to shoot this downward gazing style of photography:
