Winter is a great season, 5 tips for drone photography | National Geographic Japan version site
By flying a camera-equipped drone, you can capture beautiful scenery as if it were seen by a bird. Drones have become cheaper and easier to operate, allowing professionals and amateurs alike to capture out-of-this-world photos.
Mr. Caleb Kenna, a photographer from Vermont, USA, uses the camera-equipped drone "DJI Mavic 2" to transform the idyllic farms, winding rivers, and natural forests of his hometown into fantastical photographs. He shoots year-round, but winter is the season when he wants to fly the drone the most. “Snow is a great canvas for the shadows of trees and buildings,” says Kenna. "If the sun hits it, you can get beautiful blue shadows."
Drone is full of opportunities for creativity if you learn how to operate it, rules, and even a little trick. In addition to Kenna, National.He asked Geographic photographers and photo editors for five tips for successful drone shoots.

"It's exciting to be able to go up," Kena said. “When you get a drone with a camera, the first thing you want to do is go as high as possible.

Kena believes that low-altitude flight is more exciting and abstract photography can be taken. “Low-flying helps with aerial discovery. Vermont has a lot of rivers, forests and farms, and drones make all the difference.”
It may be difficult to judge the exposure of the drone camera while looking at the screen of the controller. "It's so bright outside and the sun is so bright, it's really hard to get an accurate exposure from the screen," says National Geographic photographer Mark Thyssen. “Most modern drones have a feature called Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) that can help you get the right exposure.”
Thyssen explains that if AEB is turned on, the camera will automatically take at least three photos with different exposures. “You can then choose the one photo with the best exposure, or combine everything into a single photo with special software. very convenient"
