Unseen Brisbane

This week we have been witness to some gasp-inducing vistas of Brisbane and beyond that until now only winged citizens could be privy to and that, frankly, we cannot shut up about.  

Thanks to intrepid genius photographer Darren Lloyd Reichel and his trusty aerial drone we can, for the first time view our city and surrounding nature at close exclusive range in all its magnificent natural glory and fall in love all over again (or, for the first time as the case may be). He has a number of drones in his "fleet", but he tells us that the main aircraft used for this stunning aerial photography is a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter in conjunction with a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition camera.

Indeed amongst these shots are some that, should the G20 world leaders get a glimpse, they’ll be changing their flights and rushing out here quicker than you can say Barack Obama.

We could continue to wax lyrical about the images but think it’s probably best if we just let the pictures do the talking. And if you can't get enough of these views get thee to Darren's Facebook page and hit the Like button now.
