Welcome to BigEyeInTheSky.com


I'm Ed Fink, these are my 360 degree panoramas. I was the first photographer in the world to shoot 360 degree panoramas from a helicopter. Today I'm a FAA licensed drone pilot and shoot most of my aerials with a quadcopter.


In addition to shooting aerial panoramas, I'm also a Google Street View Trusted Photographer in Minneapolis shooting Street View tours inside  local businesses.

I publish thousands of 360 degree panoramas and virtual tours to Google Maps, where I currently have over 100 MILLION VIEWS.

Ask me for more information or an estimate for your business!

These are my 360 degree panoramas of Mall of America, including Camp Snoopy.

The Mall of America is the largest, fully enclosed retail and family entertainment complex in the U.S.

The Mall of America draws 42 million visitors each year; more than Disney World, Graceland and the Grand Canyon combined.

Seven Yankee Stadiums would fit inside Mall of America.

Mall of America’s 13,300 short tons of steel is nearly twice the amount in the Eiffel Tower.

Spending 10 minutes in every store would take a shopper more than 86 hours to complete their visit to Mall of America.

Mall of America is located on the former Metropolitan Sports Stadium which was home to the Minnesota Vikings and Twins. Home plate can be found in Knott’s Camp Snoopy.

Peanuts creator Charles Schultz was a native of St. Paul.

There are 30,000 live plants and 400 live trees planted in Knott’s Camp Snoopy.
