This series of photographs was taken in Ukraine's highest-altitude town in the early morning hours of an Autumn day. As the sun rose, fog rolled in over the mountains and dissipated as quickly as it had appeared. These images represent memories of that day that I will always cherish. The beauty of Dzembronya is unforgettable.

Autumn Abstracts , Ukraine

I love the drone's ability to turn a landscape into an abstract composition. My goal with shots like these is to explore different nuances of nature's beauty from an unexpected perspective. These were taken in the Autumn of 2021 during my drive through the Carpathian Mountains, and are some of my favorite images from the whole trip.

Summer Forest

I got out of the city to play with the drone in the dense forests of New York state. The Northeast is known for its colorful fall foliage but possesses a verdant beauty long before Autumn begins. I love the deep blue and green hues punctuated by yellow light reflecting off high points in the landscape. And from the drone's perspective, the images are an interesting mixture of naturalistic and abstract that particularly intrigues me.

Carpathian Mountains by Air

The Carpathian Mountains majestically stretch through Central and Eastern Europe, beginning in the Czech Republic and winding all the way south to Serbia. I visited Ukraine in the Autumn last year to explore the Carpathians via drone. I left with some of my favorite landscape photographs I've ever taken- enough to warrant a second post. More soon...

Ukraine needs your support. Right now, and for the foreseeable future, all profits from the sale of ANY of my photographic prints will be donated to Ukraine's United24 fund.

As some of my viewers already know, nightfall is one of my favorite times to shoot. As the sun went down, the Carpathian Mountains didn't disappoint. Stars lit up the sky, punctuated by periodic meteors streaking across space, while moonlight fully illuminated the landscape below.

Autumn from the Air

November 04, 2020 by Andriy Stefanyshyn

The colors of autumn bursting from the forests of upstate New York are impressive from the ground. I was curious to see them from the air and had a great time playing with the drone to get these shots. The compositions are alright- but I'm looking forward to exploring more next year and experimenting further.
