We are now doing weekly aerial flyovers depending on the support that we get. Our cost range from pilot fees to rental fees of the Cessna 172 that is used for the flyovers over the sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can drones shoot nighttime photos?

Answer: Yes. We've been doing this for many years. We've been taking pictures at night for decades.

There's a catch. Night photography requires sophisticated equipment. You can't do it with a camera that costs less then $10k.

When light strikes an object, it bounces back in various wavelengths.

These wavelengths can be combined to form white light over very long distances.

This is why you can still see colors in the distance even though the sun may be millions of kilometers away.

On the contrary, when light strikes an object close to its source, it reflects in a narrow band of wavelengths. These wavelengths bounce back directly to us without any overlap.

This means that objects are brighter if they are closer together. This is how objects glow when exposed to black light.

How much energy the object absorbs affects how much light is reflected. If light hits an object, it may reflect less red light than more blue.

Because the human eye is most sensitive to blue light, objects look bluer when viewed under black light.

What does all this have to do about drones? Use a very bright light source to photograph dark places, such a forest or cave.

A standard lamp will not provide enough illumination to illuminate the whole scene. It will only create a shadowed scene.

A strobe is better for taking great pictures. Also, a small flashgun won't be as convenient for you.

Speedlights are also known for their flashes of light that create a stroboscopic effect.

You can see the light pulse across your screen when we say "stroboscopic". The picture will be better quality if it moves at a faster rate.

We won’t talk about how to setup a Speedlight. But you can find many tutorials online.

We'll tell you, to get a clear shot, ensure that your subject is well lit.

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 chosen the best setting, hold your gun steady while you press the shutter release.

Next, close to the subject, release the shutter. This will trigger the flashgun to fire another burst of light.

The subject is illuminated by the first burst, but the second will capture what happens after that burst.

The result is continuous exposure, where both bursts are recorded.

Now that we know how to capture images during the daylight, let's learn how to do night photography.

I have so far covered everything about how to photograph things at night.

However, there is still one thing that needs to be addressed: the color balance.

Most people assume that all the images taken at night will be too dark.

That's true, but the same applies to daytime photos.

It doesn’t matter if you’re taking photos at dawn, dusk or both; the camera will always take a darker picture.

Which drone is best for beginners?

It is easy to fly a drone, and the best drones for beginners. These include drones with an FPV (first person view) camera. This allows you to remotely control your drone from your smartphone.

Some quadcopters are specifically made for aerial photography. If you are planning to explore more advanced features such as autonomous flight mode, obstacle avoidance, etc., you might opt for a multirotor model.

Two types of drones can be distinguished in terms of their price: those that are cheap at $100 or more and those that are expensive at $300.

The cheapest models typically have a limited range or battery life. The most expensive models, however, offer greater performance and longer flight time.

Most beginners prefer to go for cheaper options as these are easier to handle and learn how to operate. If you plan to fly your drone for many hours, you might consider buying an expensive model.

How do you get started with drone photography

There are many ways to get started with drone photography. A ready-made drone package is the first choice. You will get everything you need to get started. They cost $200 to $500, depending upon which model you choose.

Other options include building your drone. Although this is not an easy task, it is possible to still create a drone capable of taking decent photos and videos.

Quadcopters are the best option for those looking to build their drone. The quadcopter is similar to conventional helicopters but has four rotors (or propellers), instead of just two.

A quadcopter is easier to assemble and maintain than a helicopter. It is also more affordable to buy and easier for you to transport.

First, you need to pick the right parts. Motors, batteries, controllers and props will all be required. You should choose the right size and weight.

Next, choose the controller that you want to use. You have many choices, including joysticks and touch screens as well as remote controls. You can attach your drone to the camera with the built-in camera.

Once you have selected the correct parts, it's time to assemble your drone. Preassembled kits make life easier. However, if you prefer to build your own, you'll need to follow a few steps before assembling your drone.

Step 1: Attach your battery pack

To start building your quadcopter you'll first need to connect it to the motor. To start, remove the cover from the battery pack. Next, slide the battery in place.

Step 2: Connect the motors

Next, you will need to place the motors within the proper slots. Each motor must be in its assigned slot. When installing motors, ensure that they face forward while remaining perpendicular with the frame.

Step 3: Install your propeller

Attach the propellers to your frame. Remember to position them at equal distances apart.

After completing all these steps, you're finally ready to test your new drone! If the drone doesn't move when you turn it on, make sure the propellers face forward. Also, make sure that there are no obstructions between the propellers.

How To

What is the ideal distance for a drone?

The best distance for a drone to travel is when it becomes an extension or part of you. The drone becomes an extension of you and you lose sight its physical boundaries.

A good distance for a drone allows you to immerse yourself in the environment without worrying about where the drone is going next.

There is also a psychological benefit to flying close to the ground. It gives us a feeling of control over the environment and allows us to feel more connected to nature.

But there is a downside too. Flying near the ground means we are exposed to wind and weather conditions that could damage the drone. How far from the ground can you fly?

The answer depends on the type of drone you are flying. It is a good idea to maintain a minimum of 500 feet above the ground when you are trying to capture aerial footage.

If you're shooting a cityscape, for example, it might be advisable to keep the distance at 1,000 feet. By doing this, you can avoid any obstructions such as trees or buildings.

Drones are more sensitive to low-light conditions. You can decrease the time spent hovering if you fly in darkness by lowering your altitude.

You should also ensure that the area where you fly is free from obstructions such as traffic signs or power lines.

Also, you might consider flying during daylight instead of at nights. This prevents reflections from streetlights and shadows.

The drone's size is another important consideration. The drone must be at least 300 feet from the ground, so the larger it is, the more space it will need. For example, a large quadcopter will usually require a minimum height of 300ft.

The golden hour is the best time to capture drone footage.

This is the period between 3 pm and 6 pm. During this time, you have maximum visibility due to direct overhead sunlight.

It's also known to be the "magic hour," and is ideal for capturing beautiful images.

However, it is important to not fly your drone during sunrise or sunset. These times can result in poor quality footage.

Now that you've got all these tips, it's time to start creating amazing drone videos.
