Western USA

What a trip through the Western USA looks like through my eyes.This is over half an hour of footage, captured across three weeks, condensed into just under four minutes.From the Oregon Coast to Northern California, Reno, Virginia City, Lake Tahoe, and eventually the high desert of southeastern Oregon. Along the way, I encountered everything from marine life on the coast to pronghorn and wild mustangs in the desert.The West has so much to see, and this is only a small piece of what I experienced. One of the biggest challenges was finding places to fly. Many of the most recognizable locations are off-limits to drones, which meant searching for the places less photographed, the landscapes you might otherwise drive right past. I think those places deserve to be seen too. The final shots are from Owyhee Canyon, where I drove nearly 30 miles from the nearest civilization into the high desert. It felt like a fitting place to end the journey.Three weeks, hundreds of miles, and more places than I could ever fit into four minutes.Music: “From Memory to Destiny” - Balloon Planet
