Aerial drone photography of Pennybacker Bridge

Where to find the best views in Central Texas from 400 feet up. Austin's geography—from the limestone cliffs of the Hill Country to the shimmering water of Lady Bird Lake—offers endless opportunities for cinematic aerial visuals.

1. Pennybacker Bridge (360 Bridge)

The iconic bridge over Lake Austin is a favorite for a reason. The contrast between the steel structure and the green hills is perfect for sunrise sessions.

2. Mount Bonnell

As the highest point in Austin city limits, Mount Bonnell offers sweeping views of the Colorado River and the luxury homes along the water.

3. Lady Bird Lake Skyline

Capturing the reflection of the downtown towers in the water during the blue hour is a must-have shot for any Austin portfolio.
