The place in incredible, there is nothing about New Caledonia that is not inspiring. Plus I don't know how many places on earth have a natural heart that you can see from the skyEditing
Yes, minimal though, fixed the white balance to daylight and added a bit of contrast and clarityIn my camera bag

The fact that I didn't have a window from the sky makes it a lot easier to capture something amazing. Use hi shutter speeds as you are flying quite fast, you need good natural light, you need hi speeds and as much aperture as you can get. Be prepared to shoot lots of frames, you are moving so you need to be fast. Be inspired by the place, aerial shots are magnificent, they show you a perspective that is not the one we are used to, so try and capture what that perspective gives you. Show what you are not able to see from bellow.
