Thomas Martin McShane, Above Brisbane (AERIAL 2026)

I've long admired the artistry and skill of aerial photographers and the past entries in this competition and have thought more than once there's no way I could compete with drone shots of alien landscapes, some worthy of a wall in any fine gallery. But we work with what we've got. I had a balcony, a tripod and some time, and while I appreciate it's not the usual fair for this category, I humbly submit my view Above Brisbane.
