Seeing familiar sights from a new perspective makes everything seem a little more magical, doesn’t it? Even if you’re looking at the same place you pass by twice a day, seeing it from a birds’ eye view gives you a whole new set of eyes. Digital Sky, a drone company based in Lincoln, is in the business of providing new perspectives on the sights we see every day…and introducing sights that we might not otherwise get the chance to see.

Using an impressive fleet of drones, Digital Sky travels around the state to shoot pictures and videos (among other important jobs). We were lucky enough to be granted access to their collection of aerial photos of the capital city, and wow – you’ve never seen Lincoln like this.
