Hey everyone, I can not sleep. I keep doing this thing where I go to class, come home and crash for 2 hours, then I'm stuck awake all night. So I was going through old photos and backing them up. Came across these, thought you guys might find them interesting. On a cold, dreary December day a coworker and I went flying with his father. Our main goal was to try and photograph some rumored construction going on at Kings Island Amusement Park at the time, but there was nothing. I was able to convince them to let us go over Cincinnati. This is some times particularly tricky due to traffic from Lunken and CVG but we prevailed none the less. So here are some shots from cincy and the surrounding area:

 

Disclaimer: These photographs were taken with my Olympus DSLR, it is a great camera but not the best in low light situations so these pics are kind of crappy and it was a nasty day, so bear with me. I'm going flying again on November 8th with my new camera and hopefully nice weather.

Ive had the same screwed up sleeping habits, but it's because of medical condition. I hope thats not the case with you.

 

Thanks for these.

 

I love that pic of Clifton Heights. Beautiful dense neighborhood. I've never been to the Peter Cartridge Factory - I always wanted to check it out.

Neat shots! I don't think you need to apologize at all for the quality; they're excellent views, and they're clear with good color saturation.

Great stuff!!

Its right on the Little Miami (Loveland) Bike Trail

Great thread, thanks for posting.

Wow, water parks get naaasssty after only a few months off, don't they?

Hey I can see my house!!  The pic of the Gateway Garage in OTR really ruins it from the sky.

Have to echo the previous comments about OTR and Clifton Heights.  Great stuff.

Great set. City looks a bit depressing in bad weather, though that's hardly your fault.

 

Spent my freshman year living in that very neighborhood in clifton. Didn't look that great from the ground....

I agree, I think the Clifton one is my favorite. I love those neighborhoods and from the sky they really look nice. Reminds me of the movie Airborne.

Yeah, I'm hoping to get back on a good sleeping schedule today, be careful if you check out Peter's, it's Private Property with some mean dogs.

They sure do:

 

More abandoned water park photos.

 

 

 

Awesome pics! FWW looks like its choking downtown or something. Hopefully they'll build those caps that i read about on here and make it a little more pleasing to the eye.

Coney Island shots!  YAY!

every time i fly out of CVG and get to view OTR from the air, I am reminded just how small the area is, and how critical it is that we save it.

 

these were great shots...no apologies needed for their quality

 

thanks

Great! That OTR shot is amazing.

Everyone seems to like the OTR and Clifton shots the best, I'll try to recreate those on the next flight, hopefully with better weather and beautiful fall colors.

I can see my home there as well.  :)

Beautiful! You made my heart wet itself at King's Mill.

cincinnati is lucky

Your photography reminds me of Rob_1412's a lot.

I'm going flying again on November 8th with

.. which kind of plane ?

 

 

I've never been to Boston but whenever I see aerials of Boston, they look exactly like this!
