Taking a great photographs and video is an art-form.  There is also science involved, which can be learned.  And like most things, it is a skill that can be worked on, and improved, with knowledge and experience.

The day will be lively and fun.  We find that people learn better with a smile on their face.  Your tutor will explain what they want you to learn, then demonstrate it with their drone, and then get you to replicate it with yours.

During the day, we will cover these ten things you absolutely need to get right in order to take great photos:

• The best Camera Settings for Photos
• Choosing a subject
• Getting the drone in the right position, at the perfect height 
• Framing and composition
• HDR and bracketing
• Foreground and background
• Panorama shots – using the DJI app, and manually
• Understanding the Histogram
• Dynamic manoeuvres to make your video clips pop
• Our RAP technique for getting it right every time: Review – Assess – Perfect

We will also cover these twelve things you absolutely need to get right in order to take great video:

• The best Camera Settings for Video
• Using filters to manage frame rate
• Understanding the Histogram
• Auto exposure lock on or off?
• Choosing your subject
• Telling a story
• Planning your shots: wide; close; low; high
• Getting the drone in the right position, at the perfect height, for the start of your run
• Avoid distracting your viewer.  Ideally the skill of the camera work should be invisible
• Don’t be afraid to shoot the same clip more than once.  You are allowed a dress rehearsal
• Dynamic manoeuvres to make your video clips pop
• Our RAP technique for getting it right every time: Review – Assess – Perfect

You are certain to come away with images and video clips that are better than any you have taken before.  This is a brilliant day to come to in the lead-up to coming on one of our Masterclasses, where the emphasis is very much on getting the best out of your drone camera.
