NYC and Las Vegas from above, at night

大苹果城和赌城的夜景俯瞰

Photographer Jason Hawkes, a frequent contributor to the Big Picture blog, returns today, sharing with us some of his latest images of American cities seen from above at night - New York City and Las Vegas, both cities that undergo significant transformations after the sun goes down. From Hawkes: "The images of New York were shot on Nikons latest camera, the D3S, using three gyro stabilizing mounts and flown using twin star helicopters. (Eurocopter AS355). We flew from heights of just over 500 ft up to 2,500-ft with no doors on, it was very very cold. The images of Las Vegas were shot for a separate project, using a range of helicopters from a Robinson 44 to Eurocopter AS355".

摄影师Jason Hawkes是我们大图blog的长期供稿者，说说今天这个吧，他与我们分享一些他最新的美国城市夜景航拍的照片——纽约和拉斯维加斯，这个两个城市在太阳落山之后都有着非同寻常的景色。引用Hawkes的话来说：“纽约的照片我使用尼康最新的相机——D3S拍摄的，并且用了3个回转仪来稳固相机还用了双子星直升机来做飞行器。我们在500至2500英尺的高空开着舱门飞行，那太冷了。拉斯维加斯的照片是为了另一个项目所拍摄的，使用了罗宾逊44照相机和欧洲直升机AS355。”
