Aerial Photography - Shooting using drones


Aerial photography is an interesting field of photography. Becoming airborne and shooting the landscape, cityscapes, or sceneries from perspectives we usually are not used to. This gives images a special and unique touch mainly by means of perspective but also by means of color contrast and composition.

There are several possibilities to get into these arial perspectives such as tall buildings, a flight in a plane, or a flight in a helicopter, or in recent times using drones and camera remote control.

Using drones:

Since not every photographer can afford hiring a helicopter or a plane for shooting arial pictures or when topography does not allow to fly with a large vehicle drones become more and more popular in photography.
The image below shows a beautiful panorama of the Raja Ampat archipelago shot from a drone (I guess).
