This week we will go through the art and science of aerial photography with GoPros and micro-UAVs.  Aerial photography is 50% art (photography/videography) and 50% ability to fly.  You need to know the key controls to master flying, while also understanding the dynamic relationship of light, position and timing to acquire the absolute best photos.

You will learn the following:

1. Aerial photography overview
2. Real Estate photography
3. Vehicle settings and flight modes specific to photography (not videography)
4. Getting the best photos on one battery
5. Flying to achieve the most optimal positioning
6. Accessories for capturing amazing photos with a GoPro
7. The best time to shoot aerial photos (lighting)
8. Tips to capture the right photo and drastically decrease post

Why You Should Watch:

This webinar is extremely useful for those taking aerial pictures with their GoPro Hero 4 Black and Phantom 2.  Our Chief Pilot, Paul Aitken, covers the optimal GoPro settings, tips and tricks to limit your post production work and how to correctly prepare and light a house for real estate photography.  This webinar isn’t just for enthusiastic hobbiest, but for deeper training on how to make money shooting real estate.

In the webinar, Paul taught about particular flight modes, and how those modes can increase resolution based on a simple shutter speed setting.

Attendees also learned the importance of camera positioning in order to create more depth in their aerial photos, as well as flight controller settings to use during difficult, windy conditions.  Paul shows that no matter the circumstances and conditions, you can still capture amazing pictures with your GoPro and drone!

We also covered the actual laws and regulations that are associated with aerial photography for real estate, as well as important steps and forms in order to obtain the necessary property rights.

This webinar is a comprehensive approach to the art of photography and the science of flying to create valuable deliverables that can make you money.

This week we will continue to go deeper into the art and science of aerial photography with GoPros and micro-UAVs.  We’ll turn our attention to the “art” side of drone photography as we discuss tips and tricks to manipulate images in post production.  This is one of the most important ways for you to increase your value to clients.  We will be using Photoshop CS6.

You will learn the following:

1. Real Estate photography
2. Post production workflow
3. Short cuts to importing your image files
4. How to reduce the risk of losing your images in the download process
5. Short cuts to balance the histogram
6. Creating layers
7. Using layer masks to bring out subjects
8. Blurring photos

Why You Should Watch:

Aerial photography is one of the easiest ways to make money with your drone.  But with unedited images you’re going to get nowhere fast.  You have to gain a decent understanding of the most important factors to create the best looking pictures possible.

I this webinar we covered the overall workflow for using Photoshop to edit your aerial photographs.  We discussed many things in depth, especially how to eliminate fisheye effect, modify colors to create the sharpest image and add layer masks to highlight subjects.

This is a short, value packed webinar you should watch now to take your photo editing skills to a new level.
