Iguazu from the air

Sep 21 2026 | By: Jim Zuckerman Photography

When I last visited Iguazu Falls in Brazil, I took a helicopter ride over the falls. You can't fly a drone here. This is the portion of Iguazu called 'Devil's Throat', a spectacular falls from any angle and any altitude. When I photographed it from the ground, the spray was so intense it was essentially raining. You needed an umbrella to keep water off the camera and lens. I used a very fast shutter to mitigate the vibration of the aircraft. My settings were 1/2000, f/10, and 400 ISO, and I used a 70-200mm medium telephoto set to 200mm.
