Frequently Asked Questions
What are the laws governing drone photography?
Drone flight regulations are controlled by the Federal Aviation Administration. Local laws may also apply in addition to the FAA regulations. For details on drone flight regulations, please contact your state's transportation agency.
In most cases, drone owners are required to obtain a license from the FAA. 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. To learn more, visit our Guide to Drone Registration.
What are the disadvantages of drone photography?
Drone photography can be a fun way to capture images or video. There are downsides to flying a small plane.
Drones can be expensive. This is the main drawback. It could cost you hundreds, or even thousands of dollars depending on the drone that you buy.
To fly a drone safely, you will need certification and training.
Safety is another downside. Drones pose a danger because they are constantly in need of repair and maintenance. You could inflict serious injury or property damage if you lose control of your drone when taking photos or filming videos.
It is possible that you spend more time flying a drone than taking photos or filming footage. In addition, you may have limited airspace where you can fly your drone.
You may be restricted by local governments as to where your unmanned aerial vehicle can fly. You cannot fly higher than 400 feet, or within five miles of any stadiums, hospitals or schools.
Drones aren’t for everyone. These machines can cause anxiety for some people who fear that they may crash or fall from the skies. Others fear that they could accidentally hit an object or person.
If flying a drone is not something you are comfortable with, you might want to stick to traditional aerial photography techniques and videography.
How do I fly my drone
Practice is key to flying a drone. Drones are more stable than regular aircraft but it takes practice to become proficient. We recommend that beginners practice indoors or near their home.
To fly a drone you will need to have three fundamental skills. These are taking off, hovering, and landing.
Take Off
To take off, simply lift the drone into the sky. Press the button on your controller to cause the drone to move upwards. Once the drone is at a certain height stop pressing the button.
Hovering
Hovering is a way to keep the drone still in midair. Hold down the right or left trigger and press the throttle to hover. By holding down both triggers, you can tilt the drone to move it.
Landing
Landing means returning the drone to earth safely. To land, release the throttle and tilt the controller downward toward the ground. The drone will eventually slow down, and then land.
If you feel confident flying your drone, then take it outside. However, be careful not crash into anything.
Can drones capture night shots?
The answer to that question is yes. But we've been doing it for years now. We have been taking photos at night for many decades.
There is one catch. Night photography requires specialized 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 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 straight back to us without overlapping.
This means that objects are brighter if they are closer together. This is why objects seem to glow when they are exposed to black light.
How much energy the object absorbs affects how much light is reflected. The object may reflect more red light than blue light when it is hit by light.
Because the human eye is most sensitive to blue light, objects look bluer when viewed under black light.
So what does this have to do with drones? A very bright light source is required if you are trying to capture dark areas, such as a forest, or cave.
A normal lamp will not be strong enough to illuminate the whole scene. It will only give you a shadowed image and nothing else.
You will need a strobe if you want to take great photos. A small flashgun is better than a big one, as you don't need it.
Because they produce flashes that are so rapid, these lights are often called speedlights.
When we say "stroboscopic," you can watch the light pulse across the screen. The picture will be better quality if it moves at a faster rate.
We won't discuss how to set up a Speedlight here. But you can find many tutorials online.
We'll tell you, to get a clear shot, ensure that your subject is well lit.
For this to happen, aim the beam at 45°. You can adjust the light's intensity by moving the flashgun's head.
Once you've found the perfect setting, keep the gun steady and press the shutter release button.
Once the flash has reached the subject's area, press the shutter yet again. This will trigger the flashgun to fire another burst of light.
While the first burst illuminates the subject, the second one will capture the moment after the first burst has passed.
The end result is a continuous exposure with both bursts light and recorded.
Now that you're comfortable taking photos during the day let's get to night photography.
So far I have covered all you need to know about taking night photos.
The color balance is the last thing we need to address.
Most people assume that any images taken at night will look too dark.
It's true. But it also applies to daytime photographs.
The camera will always record darker images regardless of whether you are taking photos at dawn and dusk.

Drone pilots fly at night because they are curious about the world and want to capture images.
The curiosity aspect is why most people fly drones at night, they enjoy watching the world go by. There is another reason to fly drones at night, however: to capture images in the cityscape.
This is known as urban photography, and it is growing in popularity among drone enthusiasts.
There are many benefits to taking photos at night, such as capturing more detail, better lighting conditions, and even the stars.
Many photographers prefer shooting at night because they are able to avoid the limitations of daytime photography.
These are all great benefits, but urban photography is still very popular. People fly drones at nights to capture beautiful nighttime scenes.
They love how the lights change as the sun sets. Many people now post videos of themselves flying drones at midnight and upload them online.
The drone footage's technology isn’t cutting-edge, but the quality is amazing.
It's easy to do without any special equipment. All you need is a smartphone with a camera.
Of course, if you don't own a smartphone, then that's fine. The market has many great cameras, so you can make amazing drone videos.
Some DSLR cameras offer night vision capabilities.
Canon, for example, offers the EOS5D Mark III with an integrated infrared LED that allows it see in low light conditions.
Other manufacturers include Sony, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, and Samsung.
But not all smartphones can capture drone footage.
iPhones cannot record aerial footage with their front-facing camera. Instead, they must rely on the iPhone 8 Plus's dual rear cameras.
Once you have determined the type of camera that you want, you need to decide where to record your video.
You have two options: you can either film your drone footage at a fixed location or you can follow your subject.
It is important that you have your subject in the frame while filming drone footage. This means you must keep your drone within easy reach of your subject.
If you stick to this range, you will be able get great results.
Remember that the closer you are with your subject, the sharper the details of your drone footage.
Try to move as fast as possible towards your subject.
Now that you are able to fly a drone, let's learn how to edit it.
