Aerial Photography – FBC Pflugerville Texas 78660

Normally your subject being in the center is a compositional no-no in photography, but I think those rules do not apply to aerial photos.
I was pleased with this shot, the church being in the center really shows that it is in the heart of the surrounding community. Those apartments in the bottom of the frame have only been there a year or less too.
Pflugerville High School (main building not pictures). This was the site of some of the filming for the TV series “Friday Night Lights”. During that time the front of the school, the sign was changed to Dillon High School. The church is just a few blocks away and in fact the crew used the churches parking lot of trailers, equipment staging, food, etc during the shooting.
While the building might look relatively tiny from the air, trust me it isn’t! In fact, with a 24mm lens(1.6x crop), I cannot even fit the entire building into the frame shooting with a landscape(horizontal) orientation unless I am standing on the other side of the street.
I35 is the road leading through the frame. The building off center to the right is a Cinemark 20 movie theatre.
