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.
Spring…Finally
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.
What’s New at High Note?
We had an exciting delivery this week! We routinely upgrade our aircraft to make sure we provide the absolute best quality for our clients and this new drone is a fantastic addition to our fleet. We are excited to get out and shoot with the new and improved camera as well as operate with even more safety features. This update will also give us more time in the air so we can get even more stunning shots.
What is it?
Just the other day, we were doing a shoot in Council Bluffs IA, just south of Eppley; yes we had authorization. It’s about 9:30, I put my drone (UAV) in the air and check stability, hovering at around 50 ft. Then my colleague and I notice something next to it, but higher up…several thousand feet in the air…it’s not moving…The winds were from the south at about 15 MPH and the clouds were blowing North…this object was stationary for several minutes….My colleague took this photo with is iPhone. It appeared spherical but was slightly larger than what the picture below shows. It easily stood out and both of us noticed it. After about 10 minutes moved slightly South then we lost sight of it in the contrail. We couldn’t figure out what it was. What do you think it was?
Don’t miss out
We’ve been busy shooting real estate this summer and loved these shots. Green grass always makes for a great picture but so do the warm reds, oranges and yellows of autumn.
Fall colors are just starting now and don’t last long! Book your private or commercial real estate shoots soon so capitalize on the natual beauty of Mother Nature.
High Note Aerial Photography image featured in Nebraska Life magazine
We were thrilled to partner again with the folks at Nebraska Life magazine. They wanted to use an image we captured that was requested by St Cecilia’s Cathedral. This picture is a favorite of ours because it highlights the beautiful architecture of the church against a scenic Nebraska sky. Admittedly, this shot makes us long for spring!
November Construction
When November in Nebraska is this amazing you have to get all you can out of it. We were on the job site today doing some progress and marketing shots for a client and took a moment to enjoy the 70 degree weather. We hope you were able to get out today, there won’t be many more like it for a while.
Standing Bear Lake Floating Bridge Construction
We love being able to watch a project come to fruition over time. This floating bridge project over standing Bear Lake was close to home and it was even more exciting knowing that it was going to be enjoyed by our neighbors and family for years to come. Construction started in July and we’ve been checking on the progress and wanted to share it with you. Be sure to let us know if you’ve been able to see the bridge for yourself.

Neowise Visits Earth
Last night we left the drone at home and headed out to Standing Bear Lake to see if we could get a shot of the Neowise comet, which is only visible about every 7,000 years or so. The lake was calm, it was a beautiful evening to look up to the heavens. #neowise
Top Golf Omaha – Opening
We were fortunate enough to work with the folks at Top Golf Omaha to do some progression shots of the construction. Here we look on as the final additions were added this spring. This location is scheduled to open July 17th so be sure to swing by and check them out!
