When Jason Hawkes visits theme parks, the concept of height restriction takes on a whole new meaning.That's because he's anything up to 1,000ft up in a helicopter taking stunning aerial shots of the wonderlands below.His latest project, in Orlando, Florida, sees him snap bird's-eye views of marvels ranging from a Dr Seuss fish ride at Universal Studios and Catastrophe Canyon in Disney World to leaping killer whales at SeaWorld.Hawkes, who is based just outside London, said: 'From the ground, these theme parks are pretty impressive but in a helicopter, they're something else.'It's like another world down there with the bright colours and odd shapes.'For 22 years, he has specialised in photography from the air, organising all the logistics including helicopters, production and necessary permits.'You can't hear much as the engine is so loud but you certainly get a feeling of why so many people choose to visit Orlando.'Flying over the theme parks, we were able to get down to about 400ft which was fantastic but over SeaWorld we were only allowed down to 1,000ft.'However I was using the incredible new Nikon AF VR 80-400 mm lens which enabled me to get some great close-up shots of the whale shows.'Hawkes said he enjoys shooting from above because it enables him to show locations from an unfamiliar perspective, drawing out the patterns of human life invisible from ground level.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
