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.

The Veterans Day panoramas were shot for Mickael Therer's collaborative VR project commemorating the end of "The War To End All Wars."
In the U.S. there is no specific ceremony marking the end of World War One. Instead, Nov. 11 is recognized as Veterans Day, a time for honoring veterans of all wars. (Like my father, Lee S. Fink, who served in World War Two, Korea, and Vietnam.)
The North Bridge panoramas were shot for the World Wide Panorama: Bridges project.
After adding the "Veterans" category for the Veterans Day panoramas, it struck me that perhaps my Concord North Bridge panoramas also belonged in this category. The men and boys who fought and died on this bridge and during the Brit's bloody retreat to Boston were the very first American veterans
