In today's video I want to look back at the past twelve months, which are my second year of shooting film. I've improved my skills and have become more consistent with my results and want to show you some of my favourites from the year to celebrate my second year and kick off my third :)

Can drones shoot nighttime photos?
That's the right answer. But we have been doing it for years. We've been taking pictures at night for decades.
There's a catch. Night photography requires specialized equipment. With a camera costing less than $10k, there is no way to do night photography.
A series of wavelengths are created when light hits an object.
These wavelengths combine to create white light at very distant distances from the source.
This is why we can see colors even though it is thousands of miles away.
The opposite is true. When light strikes an object very close to its source it reflects in narrow wavelengths. These wavelengths bounce straight back to us without overlapping.
That means that the closer the object is, the brighter it appears. This is why objects glow under black light.
The energy that an object absorbs will determine how much light is reflected. Therefore, if light hits an object, it might reflect more blue than red light.
Blue light is the most sensitive for the human eye. Therefore, objects that are viewed under black lights will look more blue.
So what does this have to do with drones? You need a bright light source if you want to photograph dark objects, such as caves or forests.
A normal lamp won't provide enough light to illuminate the entire scene. It will only create a shadowed scene.
A strobe is better for taking great pictures. A small flashgun is better than a big one, as you don't need it.
These lights are called speedlights due to the fact that they produce flashes light so fast, they can create a stroboscopic effect.
If we say "stroboscopic", you can see the light pulse across the screen. The picture will be better quality if it moves at a faster rate.
We won't be discussing how to set up Speedlights here. However, there are numerous tutorials online.
We will tell you to make sure that the subject is properly illuminated in order for a clear photograph.
To achieve this, you should aim the beam at a 45-degree angle. You can adjust light intensity by moving your flashgun's head.
Once you have found the right setting, hold the gun steady while pressing the shutter release button.
Just before the flashlight reaches your subject, you can press the shutter button again. This will cause the flashgun's flash to go off again, causing it to send out another blast of light.
The first burst is the most visible, and the second captures the moment after the burst has ended.
The result is a continuous exposure where both bursts of light are recorded.
You now know how to take photos during the day. Let's move onto night photography.
So far I have covered all you need to know about taking night photos.
However, there is still one thing that needs to be addressed: the color balance.
Most people assume that any images taken at night will look too dark.
That's true, but the same applies to daytime photos.
The camera will always record darker images regardless of whether you are taking photos at dawn and dusk.
Is it safe to fly a drone in the night?
Drones are growing in popularity every day. Drones offer amazing aerial shots of our houses and businesses. They are also great for delivering goods to large areas or capturing footage of sporting events. However, drones are still subject to very few regulations. Some states in America have banned them altogether, while others have restricted where they may operate.
While flying drones during daylight hours are relatively safe, there are still risks involved when operating them at night. Your safety and that of other pilots may be endangered if you fly your drone at night. This is because it is difficult to spot obstacles and hazards, so errors made by the pilot could lead to an accident.
Drones are becoming increasingly popular; therefore, we must learn how to operate them safely. There are two types of drones currently available: fixed-wing androtary-wing. Fixed-wing drones generally have smaller wings and are easier to control than rotary models. Fixed-wing models usually have four propellers while rotary-wing models only have one rotor.
To avoid accidents, you should familiarize yourself with the local laws concerning drone usage. It is also important that you ensure that your drone is within your direct line of sight at all time. Make sure that your drone comes with lights. This makes it much easier to spot objects that might threaten you. If you plan to take photographs, you should protect your camera lens against damage. Also, it is advisable to wear protective goggles whenever you are flying your drone.
Drones flying at night can pose a risk to power lines, trees, buildings, and other structures. A drone could also become lost or fall from the skies. You must ensure your drone is not in danger of being tripped up or falling from the sky. Drones are also vulnerable to sudden weather changes and wind gusts. These factors can disrupt your drone's flight and cause it to crash land.
Drones have become increasingly popular, but there are possible health risks. These devices emit noise that can cause headaches and damage to the ears. Additionally, drone vibrations can cause injury to the body. A drone operator license is required to fly. This can lead to fines or legal action.
Follow these guidelines to avoid drone accidents. When flying your drone, you must keep it within your line of sight. Flying near airports? Be sure to follow any airport regulations. You should be extra cautious when flying your drone above water as this increases the likelihood of a collision.

Drone pilots fly at night because they are curious about the world and want to capture images.
People fly drones at night because they are curious and enjoy the view of the world. Drones are also used to take photographs of the urban landscape at night.
This is what is known as urban photography and is growing in popularity with drone enthusiasts.
Photography at night offers many benefits such as better lighting conditions, more detail, and even seeing the stars.
Many photographers prefer shooting at night because they are able to avoid the limitations of daytime photography.
These advantages make urban photography appealing. But, most people use drones to capture nighttime shots.
They love the effect of the sunset lights on the sky. So much so that many people have started making videos of themselves flying drones at night and posting them online.
Although the drone technology isn't the most advanced, the quality imagery is stunning.
The best part is that you can do it yourself without special equipment. You only need a smartphone camera.
It's okay if you don’t have a smartphone. There are many high-quality cameras on the market that can be used to create amazing drone videos.
If you're looking to purchase a DSLR camera, you'll find that some models offer night vision capabilities.
For example, Canon offers an EOS 5D Mark III with a built-in infrared LED system that allows it to see in low-light conditions.
Other manufacturers include Pentax, Pentax and Olympus.
However, not all smartphones are capable of recording drone footage.
For example, iPhones cannot use their front-facing camera to record aerial footage. Instead, they must rely on the iPhone 8 Plus's dual rear cameras.
Once you've decided what kind of camera you'd like to use, you'll need to decide where you want to film your video from.
You have two options: you can either film your drone footage at a fixed location or you can follow your subject.
Make sure that your subject is visible in the frame when filming drone footage. This means you must keep your drone within easy reach of your subject.
As long as your goals are within this range, you'll be able to produce great results.
It is important to keep in mind that the closer your subject is to you, the sharper your footage will appear.
So move quickly towards your subject.
Now that you are able to fly a drone, let's learn how to edit it.
