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!

Union Depot Jenga 360 degree panorama on the first day of Spring in the recently renovated and reopened Union Depot - St. Paul’s own Grand Central Station. Spencer Fink and Zoe Fink are playing giant chess, checkers, Connect 4, and other games on Union Depot’s game night.

This was an alternate to my submission for the World Wide Panorama Spring Equinox 2013 event "Scale". The huge building itself just screams "scale", and certainly the giant games do - plus looking towards the Connect 4, that colorful thing way in the background at the far end of the terminal is the world’s largest Lite Bright.
