Our final video from the Easter Bank Holiday trip to Manchester City Centre, and this time we concentrate on the River Irwell as it passes through the Medieval and Business Districts of town.
Rest assured there will be more trips to the photogenic heart of Manchester to come, but for now, this completes the trilogy of videos from the first day... Another upbeat modern feel, with some apt no-copywrite music from HELAN.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a good place to take photos from a drone?
Drones are a great tool for taking stunning photos of nature and landscapes. Drones offer the perfect solution for taking stunning photographs of nature and wildlife, as well as beautiful landscapes.
Mountain, deserts, lakes and oceans are all great places to use drones. Drone enthusiasts love to capture picturesque views of their home and other local attractions.
You should try shooting at night when the lights illuminate the surrounding landscape to explore new places. Also, you can shoot in different seasons, particularly winter when snow covers the ground.
Can drones take night photos?
Yes, that's the answer. We've been doing this for many years. Since the 1970s, we have been taking photographs at night.
There is one catch. Night photography requires sophisticated equipment. You can't do it with a camera that costs less then $10k.
A series of wavelengths are created when light hits an object.
These wavelengths merge to form white light at long distances from source.
This is why you can still see colors in the distance even though the sun may be millions of kilometers away.
However, when light strikes an object near its source, it reflects within a narrow band wavelengths. These wavelengths bounce back straight to us, without overlapping.
It means that the object closer you are, the brighter it will appear. This is why objects seem to glow when they are exposed to black light.
The energy an object absorbs determines how much light it reflects. 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.
What does all this have to do about 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 provide a shadowed view and not much else.
You will need a strobe if you want to take great photos. Also, a small flashgun won't be as convenient for you.
These lights are known as speedlights because they produce flashes of light so fast that they create a stroboscopic effect.
Stroboscopic means that the light pulses across the screen. The better the picture, the faster the rate.
We won't discuss how to set up a Speedlight here. There are many tutorials available 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 have selected the correct setting, hold the gun steady and release the shutter release key.
Just before the flashlight reaches your subject, you can press the shutter button again. This will activate the flashgun and fire another burst.
The subject is illuminated by the first burst, but the second will capture what happens after that burst.
This results in a continuous exposure that records both bursts and steady light.
You now know how to take photos during the day. Let's move onto night photography.
I have so far covered everything about how to photograph things at night.
But there's still one thing left to cover: the color balance.
Most people assume that all images taken at nights will be too dark.
Yes, it is true. However, it can also be applied to daytime shots.
It doesn’t matter if you’re taking photos at dawn, dusk or both; the camera will always take a darker picture.
What is the best time to fly a drone?
The drone could capture aerial photos during sunrise and dusk hours, when there isn’t much activity on earth.
Drones are great tools for capturing beautiful photos of landscapes and the sky above them. You might not be able to capture spectacular night views because drones are not allowed to fly at night.
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.
It will also be easier to photograph in low light levels.
A drone is also immune to strong winds and rain. These factors make daylight perfect for shooting photos with a drone.
If you are looking for night scenes to capture, then flying at night is a good option. This will offer you a unique view of your cityscape.

Again, no stabilization is applied, and the 50% throttle stick position cuts the power to the motors. (photographypro.com)
Compared to the old days of the Phantom, this drone is super small, but it will likely require you to check a bag, the way a Mini 3 Pro could easily stow away in an oversized pocket. (thedronegirl.com)
Though the Mavic 3 is about 50% heavier than the Mavic Air 2, it's still conveniently sized. (nytimes.com)
Greater than 50% throttle stick position generates positive thrust, but less than 50% throttle stick position reverses the direction of the motors, allowing upside-down flying! (photographypro.com)
The best distance for a drone to travel is when it becomes an extension or part of you. When you become aware of the drone as a separate entity, you lose sight of its physical boundaries.
A drone that is able to fly at a reasonable distance will allow you to be fully immersed in the surrounding environment without worrying about its next destination.
The psychological benefit of flying close to ground is also evident. This gives us more control over our environment, which makes us feel closer to nature.
But there is a downside too. The drone could be damaged if it is flying too close to the ground. How far can you fly from the ground?
This depends on which drone you are using. If you are trying to film a landscape or capture aerial footage, a good rule of thumb is to stay at least 500 feet above the ground.
You might choose to film a cityscape at 1,000 feet, for instance. This will allow you to avoid obstructions like trees and buildings.
This is because drones tend to struggle with 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.
You might also consider flying during the daylight rather than at night. This will help you avoid reflections from street lights and shadows.
The drone's size is another important consideration. The larger the drone, the further away it must be from the ground. A large quadcopter for example requires a height of at least 300 feet.
If you're looking for amazing drone footage, make sure to look for the golden hours.
This is the period between 3 pm and 6 pm. During this time, you have maximum visibility due to direct overhead sunlight.
It is also known as "magic hour", and it's perfect for taking beautiful photos.
However, you should avoid flying your drone at sunset and sunrise. These times are known for producing low-quality footage.
Now that you've got all these tips, it's time to start creating amazing drone videos.
