Ohio River Valley Series

The Ohio River Valley Series is a selection of photographs from a number of aerial photoshoots since 2005. Flying both up and down river from Louisville, about 40 miles each direction, would take us west (down river) as far a Brandenburg, Kentucky, and east (up river) as far as Madison, Indiana. Most of the photography was taken at an altitude around 1000 to 500 feet above the ground or the river. The flights were usually in the morning or in the evening in a variety of weather conditions and inflight visibility.
