This summer, I had the chance to do a very neat commercial job (can’t show you what it is just yet) that needed some photos from above. During my scouting in places that people do not usually have access to, I took some photos that turned really nice.
Here are some of them. Many more (and some others shot before that) Quebec city photos from above on my stock site

Marc Caron, city Councillor in the Gaspesie town of Cloridorme, poses in Quebec city September 4, 2009. Trens-Quebec’s inverted monorail project would be a godsend to break the isolation of Quebec remote regions like the Gaspesie. Photo Francis Vachon / The Globe and Mail
Technical: Canon EOS Mark III, 1/160 at f3.2 with a 24-70 at 50mm – ISO 400 + one direct flash aimed at the church’ roof, one flash through an umbrella on camera left, one Tripod Work Lamp just on the right.
I used the lamp just to help me focus on this pitch black church, but at the end it created a nice warming side light. That’s called shooting with available light, I guess!
