Jason shot these images with a camera attached to gyro-stabilized mounts from a Eurocopter AS355, hired out at around £1150 (GBP) per hour, using Nikon gear and either a 14-24mm or a 70-200mm lens. Even with that, the low light and heavy vibrations can make things difficult, Jason says “I often shoot tethered to my MacBook Pro to check the sharpness of the images whilst I shoot.” Mr. Hawkes has agreed to jump into the comments and answer some of your questions as well, so feel free to ask.

I would be very interested in knowing what the weather was like that night. I have found when taking night shots in London that any cloud cover (which is nearly always there) reflects a strong orange glow and tints everything orange. Did you wait for a clear night, just get lucky on the night you went out or post-process to remove the orange ?
