  • In this video I share some awesome tips and techniques as a landscape photographer to get better shots with your drone. The DJI Mavic is an awesome drone and can shoot awesome photos but it isn't just about settings but about light, composition and subject. I share some ideas for improving your images as well as how I edit my drone shots in Lightroom. And the best drone photography settings to get a great shot.

    As a new drone pilot/photographer I appreciate your insights on the technical side of the photos. I look forward to getting a better handle on the camera settings for my Mavic Pro Platinum. It took sharp pictures right out of the box and naturally I went to RUclips to get suggested settings and now get real soft out of focus photos. I need to get back to a factory setting and just play with composition and using the natural light for enhancements. I look forward to learning from what you have to share.

    Thanks for this video. You've taught me more with this video than countless other photography channels ever have. All practical information for things I'm actually going to use every day. Even explaining the 4:3 over 16:9. Other people just say "Use 4:3 because it's the best" and leave it at that. You actually explained WHY! Made my day dude. Thanks.

  • @larryjohnson1451
    @larryjohnson1451 2 года назад

    Hey, Nigel, The past 18 months I believe I've seen all of your videos. Some, I've watched a second time, and several have been referred to a couple of my photo friends. Some feedback: I'm "good" enough that I know the kinds of information you share about lens choices, tripods, filters, shutter speeds/apertures, what to do/what not to do, etc. What I enjoy most is the segments where you approach an area and talk to us about what you see and how you will address it as you factor in light, weather, wind, or too-busy or chaotic settings. (I truly envy those foggy days and gnarly, mossy trees you feature periodically. Those are rare in the U.S. Rockies.) I think most of us experienced landscape shooters benefit from hearing how someone else solves the challenges or chooses the compositions. Last, as my back and leg issues complicate my plans for long hikes and rugged, steep terrain, I've been thinking more about drone photography. I always note the drone work you intersperse with your walking and site overviews. I won't ask you to mention specific gear (unless you're free to) but what basic parameters (sensor type, size, maker, controls, range, etc.) would you suggest to someone who wants to make very good still photos and print, up to 20"x30" size? Last, I see that you frequently fly over deep ravines, off a coast line, or over rivers. Do you control them only within line of sight or can they be managed over a ridge or around an outcropping? Have you ever lost a drone and been unable to rescue/retrieve it? Thanks.

    I couldn't agree more about the straight down perspective with drone photography.
    Just about every other video I've seen on the subject highly recommends it, but to me it's a really niche technique that should be used extremely sparingly, particularly if your goal is good landscape photography.
    Thanks for the input & information.
