After installing the ridge beam Erin had a mini-stroke and was rushed to the hospital. We are revisiting the way both the channel and the build will continue. For now we are moving forward at a much slower pace. We greatly appreciate your understanding and support as we work towards returning to normal.

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and the buiness/work related side of our life can be found on our secondary channel "Josh and Erin- The After Show". Here you will see us renovating our Cafe, opening/operating the Cafe with goods from our farm, building/furnishing/running our short term rentals, finding/operating our other real estate investments and more.

Look at the 3 highest-rated drones on Amazon Today!
Yes, that's the answer. It's something we have been doing for years. We've been taking pictures at night for decades.
There is one catch. Night photography requires sophisticated equipment. It's impossible to achieve night photography with a camera less than $10,000.
When light hits an object, it bounces back in a series of wavelengths.
These wavelengths merge to form white light at long distances from source.
This is how our eyes are able to see colors even when the sun is miles away.
The opposite is true. When light strikes an object very close to its source it reflects in narrow wavelengths. These wavelengths bounce back directly to us without any overlap.
This means that objects appear brighter when they are closer to each other. This is why objects glow under black light.
The amount of light reflected depends on how much energy the object absorbs. Therefore, if light hits an object, it might reflect more blue than red light.
Because the human eye is most sensitive to blue light, objects look bluer when viewed under black light.
What does this have do with drones, then? 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.
Speedlights are also known for their flashes of light that create a stroboscopic effect.
Stroboscopic means that the light pulses across the screen. The higher the speed, the better the picture.
We won't be discussing how to set up Speedlights here. However, there are numerous tutorials online.
We will tell you that to capture a clear picture, you must ensure that the subject is illuminated evenly.
This is achieved by aiming the beam at 45 degrees. You can adjust the flashgun's intensity by moving its head.
Once you've found the perfect setting, keep the gun steady and press the shutter release button.
Press the shutter once more, just before the flashlight reaches the subject. This will trigger the flashgun to fire another burst of light.
The first burst will illuminate the subject. However, the second burst will capture the moment after it has passed.
The result is continuous exposure, where both bursts are recorded.
Now that you're comfortable taking photos during the day let's get to night photography.
I've covered everything you need about night photography.
The color balance is the last thing we need to address.
Most people assume that any images taken at night will look too dark.
Yes, it is true. However, it can also be applied to daytime shots.
The camera will always record darker images regardless of whether you are taking photos at dawn and dusk.
Drone flights are regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Local laws and regulations may apply, in addition to those of the FAA. You can check with your state's transport department to find out what rules govern drone flights.
The FAA requires drone owners to obtain a license in almost all cases. The FAA has published guidelines regarding licensing. You can learn more about these guidelines here.
Drone operators in some states must register their drones to the government. Check out our Guide to Drone Registration for more information.
Drone photography is more than just flying a camera. It is important to plan and execute a successful drone shooting. The right location is key to making sure you have enough insurance to cover your aerial shoot.
The most important thing to do is check to see if you have permission. It is important to find out if there any restrictions on the areas you can fly in and where your drone may be used. If there are, you may need to apply for a license to fly them in these areas.
Also, you should check the regulations in your country. You may need a permit to fly drones in some countries. Others limit the number you can make in a given time period.
You will need permission to fly drones. After each flight, you will also need to locate a safe place to land the drone. You can rent a landing spot from local businesses for around $10 per hour. Also, you will have storage space. Alternatively, you could buy a dedicated landing pad.
Before you start shooting, it is important to determine what kind of drone you would like to use. Different drones are equipped with different capabilities. Fixed-wing drones, for example, are less expensive and more controllable, while multirotor drones, on the other hand, are more powerful and stable.
After deciding what kind of drone you want to use, you'll need to choose what equipment you'll need. A drone camera usually consists of a gimbal, remote controller, batteries, and memory cards.
A gimbal stabilizes the camera during flight, making it easy to capture sharp images without worrying about shaking hands or dropping the device. To keep the camera stable, the gimbal attaches directly on the drone's body.
Remote controllers enable you to pilot your drone remotely. These devices come with joysticks as well as buttons that allow the drone to be moved forward, backward, left, right, or left. You can also adjust its altitude.
Batteries power the drone’s motors and camera, while memory cards store photos taken with the drone. In order to ensure clear shots, ensure you have enough battery life.
Once you've selected the equipment you'll need, you'll need to figure out where you'll shoot. Do you plan to take photos outdoors or indoors? Are you going to photograph architecture or landscapes instead? Where exactly are you going to shoot? All of these factors impact how you should prepare for your shoot.
If you intend to shoot inside, lighting is a must. Multiple lights are the best way of lighting a room. Consider placing one large lamp above the subject and another near the center. Another light is close to the floor.
When outdoors, wind conditions are important. Drone pilots may experience problems if they are blown off course by windy conditions. Take off only when the weather permits.
If you are going to be bringing extra equipment like tripods or stands, consider whether this is something that you will need. These items will ensure that your drone is level and stable so you don’t lose any quality shots.
It is best to shoot outdoors between 10 am and 4pm. There won't be many people around during this time, but there will still enough light to make great photos.
The conclusion is that drone photography can be more than fun. Just follow these steps and you can begin creating stunning images today!
A drone could capture aerial images during sunrise and sunset hours when there isn't much activity on the ground.
Drones can be used to capture stunning photos of landscapes or the sky above. Sometimes drones can't fly at night so you might miss spectacular views.
Take advantage of the sunrise and sunset hours to capture great photo opportunities. Because there are fewer cars and more people on the roads, these times offer stunning opportunities for photos of nature.
You'll also find yourself shooting in lower light levels, making it easier to shoot without worrying about overexposing your image.
You won't need to contend with strong winds, rain or snow. These factors make daylight perfect for shooting photos with a drone.
But, if you wish to capture nighttime scenes, flying during the moonlit nights is an option. This will give you an unrivalled view of the cityscape.
A drone picture is a great way to capture an amazing image. The result can be more stunning than any image taken with a conventional camera if you do it correctly.
You can still improve the image quality. One is making sure to use the most appropriate settings for your model.
There are many apps and tools available that will help you to edit your photos once they have been taken. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom lets you import multiple files at the same time and allows you to adjust each shot individually.
You can also crop your image and make it more interesting. You can also remove unwanted objects or adjust lighting and contrast.
Snapseed is another tool that offers basic editing capabilities such as cropping and brightness adjustments.
Post-processing is important, but it's also crucial to ensure that your final product looks professional.
This involves knowing how your camera works and how to position yourself correctly.
Make sure you choose the right settings for your lens. If you're photographing landscapes, for example, use a longer focal-length (e.g. 200mm), whereas if your goal is to take close-ups of objects, choose a shorter focal length (e.g. 50mm).
Learn how to shoot RAW format, which gives you more control over the final image.
These techniques will allow you to create breathtaking drone images that will amaze everyone.
