These are my aerial photographs I took my drone flying around Jaws. These were shot on January 20th 2014 on a GoPro Black shooting 12 megapixel .5 second stills in wide format. This was my first time using a drone to photograph surfing and I think the results turned out pretty cool. The drone used is aQAV400 which is flying the same flight computer that powers the DJI Phantom. If you know who these brave dudes are please send me their names so I can credit their amazing rides down the incredible wave known as Jaws in Maui Hawaii! If you want to see behind the scenes pictures as well as a near drone crash from the spray, click here!
