Pole Photography

I was at a Christmas Party last December and I brought up that I do Pole Photography.

I attach my camera onto an extension pole (the pole is imbedded into a tripod) and then I remotely control the camera from an app on my iPad.

This is an alternative to making pictures with a drone - which you cannot just fly anywhere you want - and is perfect for a different perspective on buildings and getting everyone in a group picture.

And when you make a group picture from height, everyone is in the picture:
