Aerial photography

I fly a drone under an FAA Part 107 certificate and photograph New Jersey and nearby places for Wikimedia Commons, the free media library behind Wikipedia. Three of my aerials are Featured Pictures, the highest rating Commons gives an image.

Quality images

Three more passed Commons’ quality review.

Quality Images are checked by Commons reviewers for sharpness, exposure and composition. One of these is also a Valued Image: the best picture Commons has for its subject.

More aerials

A few more from the archive.

Each of these illustrates a Wikipedia article. I have uploaded 142 pictures to Commons so far, and the full gallery sorts them by subject.

On Wikipedia

The pictures are in use. So are the words.

I edit as well as photograph. Since April 2024 that comes to 622 edits on English Wikipedia and 551 on Commons, and I pair pictures with articles that need them.
