How they capture the galaxy's photo?

Can i ask? How is it possible to capture the galaxy's picture? If we are on this galaxy like milky way. How? You have to like fly a drone to capture something below from above, right? So how?

Are you talking about scale shots of our Galaxy that show the arms and everything?  Those aren't photos. They're renderings based on what we know about our Galaxy. 

For someone to get a scale photo like that they'd have to travel thousands of light years to get far enough above or below the ecliptic to get a shot, slow down, then travel thousands of light years back.
