Drone Photography: My 5 Top Tips...

I've been playing around with drone photography for a couple of years now, and have picked up lots of tips for better photos along the way. Today I thought I'd share a few of them. Drone photography is an entirely different discipline to taking photos with a normal camera, so this video is about bridging the differences.

"Don't buy prints, there is a sale coming" - first time in my life I`m a witness to such honesty. I salute You, sir. BTW: I will act like a jumping, screaming little girl when I see You in person with Your family. (I am 2m, 120kg, so a huge embarrassment coming right up).

You can say that you hate me personally and I still would be a fan of your work. Your videos are such amazing quality.

Had my drone out in the Peak District yesterday - have always struggled with them to get shots I’m happy with and thought - damn I wish James did a video on Drone photography...❤️

"I love to be recognised, particularly when I'm with my family" nearly fell off my chair laughing at that. I would be exactly the same.

Love your insecurity and humility. Your dry humour makes me come back for more. I promise that if I ever meet up with you on my travels I wIll say hello and ply you with effusive praise. If you are with Emily’s parents, will go right over the top. 😁

Great tips James. Fantastic channel. Can't wait to check your other videos. I love Peak District but at the moment I'm exploring my local Cannock Chase with my mini 2 which is also amazing. Greetings from Stafford

These are an amazing set of tips from a wonderful person. I always believe in checking the flying conditions on apps like UAV forecast or Weather by Tomorrow before flying.

The last tip is most useful and eyeopening for some newcomers to drone photography. It's very hard to stop making more and more shots from different angles ones your drone is up in the air. However, you might be losing precious battery power for the probably much better shot little bit later. Had that quite few times, actually :)
