With a current market size of about $34 billion dollars globally and expectations to reach over $55 billion dollars by 2026, the drone industry is only going to get bigger. But with commercial applications being the biggest piece of the pie, what are the industries that are going to grow the fastest over the next few years and which ones should you be paying attention to?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can drones be used to take night pictures?
Answer: Yes. We've been doing this for many years. Since decades, we have been taking night shots.
There's one problem. Night photography requires special equipment. You can't do it with a camera that costs less then $10k.
When light hits an object, it bounces back in a series of wavelengths.
These wavelengths combine to create white light at very distant distances from the source.
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 right back to us without overlapping.
This means that objects are brighter if they are closer together. This is why objects glow under black light.
The energy the object absorbs influences how much light is reflected. When light hits an object it will reflect more blue light than red.
The human eye is more sensitive to blue light than objects, so objects appear bluer when they are viewed under blacklight.
What does this have do with drones, then? 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.
If you want a good picture, you'll need to use a strobe instead. You won't want to lug around a large flashgun so you will need a smaller one.
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 cover how to set-up a Speedlight. There are many tutorials on the internet.
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°. The flashgun can be moved to adjust the intensity of the light.
Once you have selected the correct setting, hold the gun steady and release the shutter release key.
Next, close to the subject, release the shutter. 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.
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 told you everything you need to know about photographing 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.
It's true. But it also applies to daytime photographs.
It doesn't really matter if you take photos at dawn or dusk, the camera will always capture a darker image.
How much money do drone photographers make?
A photographer could make more or less than $10k depending upon how long he/she is flying for and where he/she takes photos. If you shoot in remote areas such as national parks or forests, you could earn upwards of $20-30 an hour.
An average person makes $15-$25 per hour in retail. This means that you could make $50-$75 flying drones, if you so desired. There are many opportunities to make even more. Drone pilots typically fly for companies that require them to travel across the country or even internationally.
The cost of a flight can vary depending on how much time you spend flying and how far you travel. This can add up quickly, but if you enjoy flying and love photography, it may be worth it for you.
How to fly my drone?
Practice is key to flying a drone. Even though drones are very stable compared to regular aircraft, it takes time for pilots to gain experience. For beginners, we recommend practicing indoors or close to home.
You will need to be able to perform three skills when learning to fly a drone. These are hovering, takingoff, and landing.
Take off
Taking off is simply lifting the drone into the air. You can do this by pressing the button on controller until the drone begins moving upward. Once the drone is at a certain height stop pressing the button.
Hovering
Hovering allows the drone to stay in mid-air. Holding down either the left or right triggers while pressing the throttle will allow you to hover. By holding down both triggers, you can tilt the drone to move it.
Landing
Landing is the act of returning the drone safely to earth. To land, let go of the throttle and gently tilt the controller towards the ground. This will cause the drone to slow down and eventually land.
If you feel comfortable flying your drone, take it out of the house. You must be careful not that your drone crashes into anything.
Statistics
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)

Drone pilots fly at night because they are curious about the world and want to capture images.
Many people fly drones at evening because they love the wonder of it all. But there is also another reason for flying drones at night: to capture images of the city landscape.
This is what is known as urban photography and is growing in popularity with 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.
But while these benefits make urban photography appealing, people mainly fly drones at night to capture beautiful nighttime scenes.
They love the effect of the sunset lights on the sky. People have taken to posting videos online showing drone pilots at night flying their drones.
Although the drone footage technology isn’t very cutting edge, it is an amazing example of high-quality imagery.
The best thing is that you don't need special equipment to make it happen. You only need a smartphone camera.
Of course, if you don't own a smartphone, then that's fine. Plenty of high-quality cameras available on the market today would allow you to produce great drone videos.
Some models have night vision capabilities, so if you are looking for a DSLR camera to buy, there are some options.
Canon's EOS-5D Mark III comes with an embedded infraredLED system that allows the camera to see in low lighting conditions.
Other manufacturers include Pentax (Pentax), Olympus (Sony), Pentax, Pentax, Pentax, Olympus, Olympus, Panasonic and Olympus.
However, not all smartphones are capable of recording drone footage.
iPhones' front-facing cameras cannot be used to capture aerial footage. They will have to rely instead on the dual rear camera of the iPhone 8 Plus.
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 could film your drone footage at one location or follow your subject.
When filming your drone footage, you should ensure that your subject is visible in the frame. 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 get as close as possible to your subject.
Now that you're able to take aerial footage, let us talk about how we can edit it.
