The story of Aerial Media began in Utah, where aerial_greg and I first met and connected over our shared love for aerial photography. This is where it all started for us, and it will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

Over the years, we’ve shared countless beautiful sunrises and sunsets here, along with so many unforgettable moments with our tour participants.

We may not know what the future holds, but one thing is certain: we’ll never forget this last trip back to where it all began. And that one special sunset? It’s a moment we’ll carry with us forever. I’m incredibly grateful for everything we’ve experienced together, the memories we’ve made, and the journey that started right here.

Some places are more than just beautiful landscapes. They become part of your story. Some sunsets are beautiful, but this one meant so much more. 🌅🧡

There’s something so peaceful about flying over the rice fields of Guilin at sunrise. 🌾🌄 The soft morning light, the mist, and the stillness of the landscape make it such a stunning experience.

But I promise, this is NOT AI-generated! 😂 All Aerial Media videos are real, captured by our own cameras and drones. And if you need proof, watch until the end for the rogue drone that decided to fly right past mine! 🤣🚁

You really can’t make this stuff up!

Special thanks to aerial_greg for the music!

Guilin at Dawn! 💖

Flew through the fog over these beautiful glass fields in China today. We've been very lucky with the conditions so far and the team is excited to be back in China again. 🇨🇳

It’s still surreal for aerial_greg and me to think that our YouTube channel is barely 9 months old, with only 41 videos, and has already reached over 1.7 million views and 150K subscribers! 🤯

We’re incredibly grateful for all the support and for everyone who has followed along on this journey. We can’t wait to keep sharing our passion for aerial photography, the places we explore, and the travel stories behind the images with you! 🚁🌎📸

Thank you for being part of Aerial Media! 💙

Congratulations to our July contest winner, Kathleen Croft! 🎉 We loved both her beautiful aerial image and the meaningful caption that accompanied her submission:

“This is a capture in the Vermillion Cliffs, Arizona. There are a lot of dinosaur tracks in this area. From above, it resembles a fossilized velociraptor. This area in the Escalante has just been reduced to 10 percent in size. Mining and mineral rights have been sold by the Trump Administration. Preservation is so very important. Our public lands should not be for sale they should remain intact for the people to enjoy and preserve the heritage of the ancestors who once roamed this land.”

At Aerial Media, we believe in the importance of conserving and protecting our public lands for future generations. Photography gives us a unique opportunity to share the beauty of these landscapes and to remind people why preserving them matters. 💙

Congratulations again for winning $500, Kathleen Croft 🎉

I finally had the chance to test DJI’s new Electronic ND filter, and I have to say, it’s one of the most useful accessories I’ve ever used for drone videography.

This entire video was shot in Pro mode with the eND set to Auto. Throughout the flight, it automatically adjusted between ND4 to ND32 as the lighting changed, and every transition was completely seamless. It let me focus on flying and composition instead of constantly thinking about exposure or having to land the drone to change filters.

The only downside I’ve noticed is that the filter is fairly heavy. It causes the gimbal to naturally tilt downward, which makes shooting in vertical orientation a bit more challenging. Hopefully that’s something DJI can improve in future versions.

For anyone serious about aerial video, I think this is going to be an indispensable tool. Hopefully DJI can make them more widely available soon!

Hope you enjoy this drone video from one of our favorite rivers in Iceland, captured with the DJI Mavic 4 Pro and featuring another one of Greg’s original musical scores. 💙

Iceland’s braided rivers are one of nature’s greatest works of art. 💙

Fed by glacial meltwater, they constantly split, merge, and carve new paths across the volcanic landscape, creating patterns that are never the same twice. From the air, you can truly appreciate the incredible scale and ever-changing beauty of these remarkable river systems. 🇮🇸
