Last night didn’t go as planned…

3 locations… long exposures… multiple setups…

and yeah… not every attempt works out the way you picture it in your head

But that’s part of it…

Figuring it out in the dark… adjusting on the fly… chasing something you haven’t quite nailed yet.

I walked away with a couple shots I’m excited about… just not ready to show them yet 👀

Stay with me on this one… you’re going to want to see what’s coming.

⚾️ You can feel it in the air… it's Opening Day!

From above Great American Ball Park, one of baseball’s best traditions.

There’s just something different about today.

👉 Are you heading to the game… or watching from home?

👇 And if you're not a Reds fan... who are you rooting for this season?

Reds Country ... it’s time.

You probably slept through this… ⚡

But last night over Columbus, the sky was putting on a show.

Lightning behind the Bartholomew County Courthouse.
City lights moving below.
Everything happening at once.

35 seconds at 500x speed of something most people never stop long enough to notice.

This is Columbus, Indiana.

👇 Did you catch the storm last night?

Most people haven’t seen this angle of the riverfront yet…

This is one of the most talked-about projects in Columbus right now... and seeing it from above really puts it into perspective.

I know there are a lot of opinions, and that’s okay. It just shows how much people care about this community.

I don’t know exactly what it will become, but I’m hopeful it turns into something people can gather around and enjoy.

I’ve been to the River Walk in San Antonio with my wife, and it’s one of those places you don’t forget. If we can create even a piece of that here… that would be something special.

Either way, it’s part of our story — and I’m glad to capture it from a different perspective.

Follow along as I document Columbus from above.

Elevate Everything… but do it right.

You may have seen recent headlines about drone pilots facing serious fines—some over $100,000—for flying in restricted areas.

Here’s the truth 👇

Not all drone operators are the same.

When you hire a professional, you’re not just paying for a photo…
you’re trusting someone to:
✅ Understand airspace restrictions
✅ Follow FAA regulations
✅ Insured (proudly locally by Richard Hawes Insurance)
✅ Operate safely and responsibly

That’s something I take seriously every time I fly.

At American Elevation, it’s about more than the shot…
it’s about doing it the right way.

📍 Licensed
📍 Insured
📍 Local

Elevate Everything. Safely.

You've probably crossed it from the driver's seat, but Columbus looks different from above!

The Robert Stewart Bridge from a perspective most people never get to see.

What Columbus landmark should I elevate next?

Something strange appeared above the courthouse this week.

After a few hints, a late night flight, and a little experimentation…
here it is.

The halo.

Captured above the Bartholomew County Courthouse using long-exposure light painting with a drone.

I’ve been chasing this idea for a while, and Friday the 13th felt like the perfect night to finally reveal it.

This might be my favorite image I’ve created so far.

What do you think?
