I love aerial shots, very interesting, thanks for posting.

I'm all for the "artistry" of converting images to black and white, but I would like to see that wide USF image in color.

Artistry wasn't part of it - for reasons I can't fully explain the colours went to pot over Universal and many of the shots I got were frankly RUBBISH. I didn't change the camera settings or anything, I must just have gotten unlucky (or maybe I shot through a closed window for a minute rather than an open one - I forget now). Turning this one B&W saved it. I will go back and revisit the RAW image at some time and see if I can process it better.

Here is my edit of the Amityville area in colour. Not stunning, probably over-sharpened now to compensate for the blurriness and poor colour. Looking at he RAW image again it would appear I shot through the window rather than with it open, which I didn't do for almost all of the other images. Maybe I was getting cold?!

You're welcome! I'd never flown over Universal - and we haven't visited the park since 2010 either - so was surprised to see the end of Jaws.
