Oakland's beauty is no secret to those who live there, but the city can often go unappreciated when compared to its neighbor to the west.

Myles Fenwick is using a drone to change people's perspectives and share his love of Oakland's neighborhoods.

Fenwick, who works for a cloud data solutions company, picked up photography as a hobby a few years ago and recently decided to combine his love for it with drone technology.

"I always thought they were the coolest things in the world, so I decided to pull the trigger and buy one," Fenwick told SFGATE.

In the last month since buying the drone, he has produced four videos, each showcasing a different Oakland neighborhood. His aerial shots of BART trains and graffiti are almost as beautiful as the colorful sunsets he captures over the San Francisco skyline.

He says using a drone allows him to show off his local neighborhoods in a whole new light. "You just get a whole new perspective on everything around you. You can see things that you would never know are there."

Fenwick was born in Australia and grew up in Southeast Asia, but would often visit family in Northern California.

He moved to Oakland after attending the University of San Francisco. "I spent a year living in the city after I graduated, but I kind of got tired of it," Fenwick explained. "Don't get me wrong I love San Francisco, but I was getting tired of how many people would be in the city at the same time and how busy everything was.... even on a foggy day."

Fenwick and his girlfriend made the move across the bay and he says he's loved exploring his new city, both from the air and on the ground. "Each area is so unique and has so much to offer, you just have to be willing to look for it."

Fenwick says he would like to keep making drone videos and show a "pigeon's-eye view" of every Oakland neighborhood. He most recently made videos showcasing downtown and the area around Lake Merritt.

Fenwick posts his videos to his YouTube page and shares some of his photos on Instagram. "I'm just a guy that really likes taking pictures of things and showcasing the world through my point of view," he said.

All in all, Fenwick doesn't regret his move to Oakland one bit. "I think 'The Town' has so much to offer- it has such a rich culture and history, super friendly people, amazing food," he told SFGATE. "Really, the only thing I have to complain about is the potholes."

We can't disagree with you there.
