BACKSTORY: Incredible drone video(taken from my drone) from the landslide that is occurring in 8 Peartree Lane in Rolling Hills Estates shows just how much damage the landslide has caused to the houses there, even splitting rooms in half. In one of the videos, a kids basketball rim can be seen in a backyard, with the backyard being nearly cut in half right in front of the basketball rim where kids play. In another video, it can be seen that a bedroom & living room are split in half right where the beds and couches are. It can even be seen that some houses have the top of their roof being on the same level as the sidewalk that was used to walk into their houses. What’s most noticeable from all the footage is a big split/line in the land that shows the land sliding into the canyon, almost looking like a scene seen in the famous movie “2012”.
It’s important to note that from the last post that I covered about this, it was only 12 houses that were evacuated due to this natural disaster, however, now less than a dozen or so more houses have been evacuated, and another 17 more homes are being monitored by the LA County Fire Department (LACoFD). This comes as the LACoFD determines that this landslide is bigger than what they had originally thought, and now more homes are in danger. LACoFD had stated all they could do at this point is let nature do its thing and wait until all the houses fall into the canyon, as it is too dangerous and risky to go in as the land is still sliding. The land has so far shifted 20 feet since it started, and it continues to grow. Professionals who cover Geological Sciences state that the landslide is most likely not 100% due to the steepness of the hill or the rocks below - as the land is moving way too fast for that to be the main cause - but rather it is water that can cause this land to move fast. Speculations state that this year's heavy rains were what could be a major factor that could have caused water to play a main role in the landslide. This landslide will go down in history for being one of the most unprecedented & major landslides in the South Bay, and even in California.
To make matters even worse, criminals have taken advantage of the evacuated houses, and on 7/13 some had broken into the evacuated houses and taken items& belongings of those who lived there. Luckily the LA County Sheriff's Department(lomita station), and with the help of the Torrance Police Department, were able to catch the suspects and arrest them in a difficult search. Bravo!

Frequently Asked Questions
Which drone is best for photography
Drones have many uses, from aerial photography to filming movies or delivering packages. What makes drones so useful? Well, there are two main reasons why drones are so popular now. They are versatile tools. There are many uses for drones. They can be used for just about any task you might use a regular camera for. They are also easy to operate. It is very easy to fly a quadcopter if you have ever flown one.
Drones can also capture incredible images. Drones can capture amazing photos in places that you might not normally go. These include remote areas where you could potentially fall into dangerous situations.
Drones are so easy to operate, so anyone can learn how to pilot one quickly. Once you learn the basics, you will be able to use your drone to capture amazing photos from anywhere you happen to be. You can check out our drone line if this interests you.
What time is best for drone photography?
A drone could capture aerial images during sunrise and sunset hours when there isn't much activity on the ground.
Drones make great tools for photographing beautiful landscapes and the skies above them. You might not be able to capture spectacular night views because drones are not allowed to fly at night.
If you want to make sure that you capture all the photo opportunities, fly during sunset and sunrise hours. You have more chances to capture breathtaking shots of nature during these times because there are fewer cars driving and fewer people around.
Also, you'll find yourself shooting at lower light levels. This makes it easier to capture images without worrying about overexposing them.
Furthermore, you don't have to worry about strong winds or rain, snow, fog, or freezing temperatures. All these factors make daylight ideal for taking photos with a drone.
Consider flying at night if you want to capture nighttime scenes. This will give you an unrivalled view of the cityscape.
How can I get started in drone photography?
There are many ways to get started with drone photography. First, you can buy a pre-made drone kit. It will come with everything you need in order to get started. They range from $200 to $500, depending on the model.
You can also build your own drone. Although this can be a bit complicated, it's still possible to create something that works well enough to take some decent photos and videos.
A quadcopter is the best choice for anyone who wants to build their own drone. Quadcopters have four propellers (or rotors) as opposed to two like traditional helicopters.
A quadcopter is easier to assemble and maintain than a helicopter. It is also less expensive to buy and easier to transport.
First, you'll need to choose the right parts. Motors, batteries and controllers are all required. Make sure you pick the correct size and weight.
Next, decide which controller you would like to use. You have many choices, including joysticks and touch screens as well as remote controls. It is recommended to buy one with a builtin camera so that you don't need to attach another device to your drone.
After you've selected the right parts, you can begin to assemble the drone. We recommend purchasing a pre-assembled kit to make things easier. But if you want to build your own drone, there are some steps you will need to follow.
Step1: Attach the 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. After that, slide in the battery.
Step 2 Connect the motors
Next, you will need to place the motors within the proper slots. Each motor needs to be installed in its respective slot. When mounting the motors, ensure they face forward and are parallel to the frame.
Step3: Install the propeller
Finally, you'll need to attach the propellers to the frame. Be sure to place them at equal distances.
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. Make sure there aren't any obstructions between the propellers.

Homes with aerial images sold 68% faster than homes with standard images. (alexdronephotography.com)
Among the biggest improvements, the Skydio 2+ has over the standard 2 is a 20% longer battery life, longer range if you add the Beacon, and a neat AI video creation tool called Keyframe. (thedronegirl.com)
Again, no stabilization is applied, and the 50% throttle stick position cuts the power to the motors. (photographypro.com)

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.
But there are ways to improve the quality of your images. One of them is making sure that you use the best settings for your particular model.
You can edit your photos with some apps and tools. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom software is one of these. This software allows you edit multiple photos at once, and lets you adjust each one separately.
You can also crop and improve individual parts of your photo. This includes removing unwanted objects and adjusting lighting and contrast.
Another tool is Snapseed, which offers basic editing features such as cropping, brightness adjustments, and color correction.
Post-processing is all about ensuring your final product looks professional.
This includes knowing how to properly position your camera and how to correctly set it up.
Also, ensure that you select the correct settings for your lens. You might choose a longer focal distance (such as 200mm) if you want to shoot landscapes. If you need to capture close-ups, opt for a shorter focal line (such as 50mm).
Finally, learn how to shoot in RAW format because this gives you greater control over the final image.
You can create amazing drone images once you have mastered these techniques.
