Quadcopter Aerial Photos
….okay, you can call it a “drone” if you like. I’ve just had it a few days so I’m still learning to fly. The photos are from a GoPro HD Hero camera, which is one of GoPro’s earliest cameras. I’ve had that for quite a while, but had no way to get it up in the air :-). Below are a few video clips pieced together….mostly to show you what NOT to do! DON’T try to learn to fly in the woods!! An open field is MUCH better!
And a few photos from today. Not a very photogenic day, but I was anxious to get out and fly around. (The GoPro has a VERY wide angle lens. These have been corrected in Lightroom to remove the curvature that is the result of that lens. That’s why you see a bit of blurring in the lower corners. Maybe I shouldn’t have done that, but I like my horizons flat.)
Our driveway below. I liked the look of that curve.
And finally, here’s a video from YouTube, NOT MINE, that was shot by a pro wedding photographer. He uses the aerial footage in the introduction of his wedding videos to showcase the wedding venues. Pretty cool!!! It’ll be a while before I have the guts to fly over water!! 🙂
