Welcome to BigEyeInTheSky.com
I'm Ed Fink, and 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!

Chippewa Indians held important council meetings here at "The Top of the World".

360 degree aerial panorama above an invasion of giant Ice Spiders on Lake Josephine in Roseville, Minnesota. These monsters must have hitched a ride on a meteor that crashed into the lake - they’re obviously not from earth.
This is actually a phenomenon caused by the weight of the snow forcing water to drain upward through the ice sheet. The dendrite formation is often called an ice spider, ice octopus, or ice star.
This was my second aerial panorama from my quadcopter.

360 degree aerial panorama at sunset over the historic Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines, IA. Building construction completed in 1886 but the conversion of gas lights to electric in 1904 caused a fire requiring major restoration. In the 1980’s the Capitol exterior had deteriorated, with sandstone chunks falling from the building, requiring a nine phase restoration project that completed in 1998.

Lake De Montreville 360 degree aerial panorama. For over 20 years every time I’d drive to Stillwater I’d see a street sign for DEMONTREVILLE TRAIL. I lived in New Orleans long enough to figure out the correct pronunciation, but in my head I always think DEMON TREE VILLE. Now I’ve even got my grandkids wondering if the road leads to a small village with a Demon Tree in the middle of it. Or MANY Demon Trees! Or perhaps it has houses built with the wood from Demon Trees. And doesn’t Demon Tree sound like the perfect name for a heavy metal band?!

The towers were replacements for a tower that collapsed in 1971, killing six workers on the tower and one on the ground.
This is the highest altitude quadcopter aerial I've done so far. (It's also higher than all but one of my helicopter panoramas!) Normally 400' is the max alititude for a drone, but the FAA allows flights up to 400' HIGHER than nearby structures.

360 degree aerial panorama of the Iron Ore docks on Lake Superior's Agate Bay in Two Harbors, MN. The steel docks were originally built to load high grade iron ore from the Mesabi Iron Range onto large ships, but after World War II most of the high grade iron ore in the U.S. ran out and the industry moved to a lower grade ore, taconite, which you see here. The docks are over 1,300 feet long and seven stories tall. Today 12 million tons of taconite a year are shipped from Two Harbors to other locations on the Great Lakes eventually to be heated up to over 1000 degrees in blast furnaces, and converted into steel.
