Standing Bear Lake Renovation – Apr 2023

We took to the skies this morning to check out the status of Standing Bear Lake. It’s sad to see it drained but we are looking forward to all the upgrades! Check back with us to keep a bird’s eye view of the project over the summer.

Festival of Lights

Downtown Omaha in December never disappoints. We went down to the Gene Leahy mall tonight to see the Holiday Lights Festival and decided to take some shots from the ground for a change.

We wanted to extend our best wishes to you and yours for a happy, healthy holiday season.

Fall Concert

It was a beautiful night for the Boomstock concert in Stinson Park. We were there and got a shot that spectacular sky.

Crepuscular Rays Over Omaha

Did you see that sunset in Omaha last night…Spectacular! I just happened to have a camera in the air and snapped a few shots. The evening thunderstorms scattered just the right concentration of clouds to create dramatic crepuscular rays. Let’s hear it for summer!

Summer Arts

Omaha Summer Arts Festival 2022

High Note was able to get this great shot of the turnout for the Omaha Summer Arts Festival last weekend. We love the opportunity to visit with so many talented artists and sample some of the amazing food!

Spring…Finally

Finally it feels like spring is here to stay! We couldn’t wait to get out and shoot some gorgeous Nebraska scenery as the land slowly wakes up from winter. We hope you’ve also been able to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather.

Safety is always a forethought

We’re still dealing with the chill of winter here in the Midwest. This weekend we had a shoot by near Sioux City airport, which requires special authorization. Here our pilot is retreating to the warmth of the car while waiting for clearance from air traffic control. At High Note, you can rest assured that all our flights are legal, properly insured and conducted with the highest standards of safety.

Heavy Equipment

Even though we are all grown up, watching big machines like this still brings out the kid in us! We have been to numerous job sites over the past few months capturing video of the job site as well as a great deal of heavy equipment hard at work. Getting to see these rigs up close and from the air is still a thrill for us. We just wanted to share a few quick clips.
