Soar Worldwide Photography Competition - “Some things look BETTER from ABOVE”

Drones entered aerial photography with a big bang. And they are here to stay. From casual hobby uses to more professional ones - drone photography is one of the most popular applications among multirotor users. Technically we're talking about aerial system - not just a drone: from avionics, sensors and a payload, ground station control, communication system to GPS - and so much more. To put it in a right term it's a Unmanned Aircraft System UAS.

One of the major trend that we see is that the largest market for UAV's is film, photo and video. Drone Cinematography has been around for several years now, and is rapidly becoming widespread. Cameras mounted on drones can deliver shots where it was impossible to get before, or you could capture using special cranes and stabilizing equipment or manned helicopter. High end camera drone gives filmmakers this definitive edge to take amazing shots.

Drones recently become more readily available to the general public and for a decent drone, much more affordable! This not only means anyone can now get themselves a drone, but it gives everyone the opportunity to get behind your controller and pilot your drone, shoot your own beautiful pictures and maybe if you're feeling really confident, attempt to get some breathtaking videos to show off to everyone!

No matter whom you are, from casual beginner, looking to create a few great shots for the family album, to a downright professional, working on a project or looking for some new information! You'll find usefull advices about drone photography and more right here!

TOP TIPS FOR TAKING THE BEST PICTURES POSSIBLE

The best possible way to get the most from your photos is to mix a little quality with some creativity. With drone photography, the sky is the literal limit, invest in some high-quality gear and your images will be perfect!

The first thing you need to do in order to get picture perfect images is to work on perfecting and practicing your flying skills. Once you’re confident in your flying abilities, move onto what your drone can do, all drones are different, so it’s best to test everything out at home before you head out.

Another important thing to learn is how to adapt your camera settings for just about every situation, even if you’re not planning to encounter a certain situation, it’s still best to have an idea of how to set-up should you encounter it.
You can find some tips below for everyone to bear in mind; from beginners to professionals.

These tips will ensure you get the best results from your drone.

• Choose a Breathtaking Location: In order to get the best aerial photographs you first need a breathtaking location.

• Minimal Vibrations: To get the best images you need to remove the vibrations potentially caused by your drone that could cause low-quality shaky images. To do so you can purchase a special device known as a gimbal; you can also reduce these vibrations by developing a steady flight hand.

• Avoid Potential Disaster: As has been mentioned, plan your flight, buildings and trees can be potential disaster zones for your drone. Always make sure you shoot in as clear a space as possible and one that is as sparsely populated as possible.

• Avoid The Shadows: When taking photographs you don’t want the shadows created by your drone in a shot. Always be aware of your drone’s position in relation to the sun and try to make sure the shadow produced by your drone is way out of shot, this way you don’t ruin any images with a dark shadow!

• Buy a Gimbal: A good gimbal is the savior of your images. Sometimes your drone can be a little shaky and cause images to become unstable and low quality, using a gimbal prevents this and keeps your images looking crisp!

• Shoot Various Angles: A great tip, usually known by professionals but never to be forgotten, is to shoot the same scene or photo in various angles.

• Invest in a Powerful Camera: If you want great images, you’re going to need a great camera! This sort of goes without saying, but you’re not going to get the high-quality images you want if you’re not willing to spend the money on a camera capable of such.
