Over the last few years, drones and quadcopters have become the hottest
new gear in photography, whether you're a professional photographer or
an amateur shooter. These "flying tripods" have given photographers the
ability to place their cameras virtually anywhere they want, creating
still images and video footage that was previously impossible to
capture. Many photographers have a drone or quadcopter right at the top
of their "I want" list. And many others have already purchased a drone
but haven't mastered its use yet.
No matter what model you may own--whether that's a popular Mavic, Mini,
Air, or Phantom from DJI, or another brand--you need to learn how to put
this new gear to good use in your aerial photography. You need to learn
how to safely operate and fly a drone, how to create compelling photos
and video, and how to make your work stand out from the crowd.
In this fully updated and revised edition of the bestselling first
edition, photographer and bestselling author Colin Smith guides you
toward mastering your drone and creating powerful and impactful imagery.
Featuring his award-winning and beautiful aerial photography throughout
the book, Colin will teach you:
You'll learn everything you need to know about drones and quadcopters in
order to take your photography to new levels...literally!
