We were in Seattle for the last six days shooting aerial video. We captured these moving pictures early on Friday morning, while most of the locals were still having their first cup of coffee.

Urban aerial video can be challenging, but with sunrise in Seattle at 5:15 this time of year, it's easier to beat the masses and still have great light. The weather was a light mist, almost every one of the six days there, but the wind was an amazing calm of 5 to 8 mph. That made it possible for a very smooth flight, even to the top of downtown.
