Philip (aka Flyin Phil) is a licensed, private pilot in the United States who flies his own airplane. When he first began shooting aerial photos over 10 years ago, it was with a Kodak 35mm Disposable camera. His next film camera was an Olympus 35mm, but eventually the hard copy photos became a nightmare to organize and far too expensive. Philip finally graduated to the digital age and purchased a Canon S110 Digital ELPH camera. The majority of photos on Flyin Phils Photos as of March 2006 are shot with the Canon Digital ELPH, though a few were shot with the Olympus and even a few from the Kodak.

Moving forward, Philip has finally upgraded to a Canon S2 IS Ultra-Zoom camera with a 12X Optical Zoom lens and 5.1 Mega Pixel resolution. All photos from March 2006 through the present are shot with this camera, and the increased level of detail can be noticed. With this much higher level of performance, he will be better able to capture the detail & beauty of the many more aerial photos he plans on shooting. All of Philip's photos are shot as a hobby, and throughout the years he feels he has shot some rather interesting photos of cities, lakes, rivers, mountains, clouds, buildings, airports, shorelines and amusements. As always, he will be selecting the best of the best to display on his website, and hopes that you, the visitor of Flyin Phils Photos will enjoy them as much as he does.
