Aerial Photos Highlight Surreal Beauty of Kazakhstan’s Mangystau Plateau

Surreal beauty is right! Some amazing photos in this article. I like reading these kinds of articles - I may never visit Kazakhstan in my lifetime but the photos and the write up on the techniques used are inspiring.

Aerial is definitely an added dimension. I've taken shots from helicopter, small plane and hot air balloon. I bought a drone a couple years ago when I thought I would still be traveling. Have not flown it even once, but I wish I had that opportunity years ago.

Some of the drone photography I’ve seen online looks absolutely spectacular. But I’m a bit reluctant to dabble in yet another dimension of this hobby. Maybe one of these days I will.

WOW!!! That is incredible!
It’s hard to believe that I’ve never seen images of this before. It seems the Kazaks must be protecting and keeping it secret. I only saw one road in those images, and couldn’t help but notice there weren’t any trees, nor other vegetation for that matter.
Thanks WC Birder for turning me onto this.
