"Beach-goers swim and surf in the Atlantic Ocean in Ocean City, Md. on the Fourth of July, Monday, July 4, 2011."

I was fortunate enough to find myself in Ocean City, Md., during Fourth of July.

However, instead of being packed like a sardine on the beach, I was high above the city shooting aerial photographs of what laid below.

While aerial photography is a challenge, especially in this case from an small overhead Cessna airplane, not a helicopter, it's very rewarding. It was also a treat because I have been visiting Ocean City since I was young, but never seen it from above.

While time flew by in the air and I made the photographs I needed to make, I was able to make some pictures I really liked. I have a lot of extras I want to share and have available for large prints.

Up next, the sandy side of the shoot.
