Drone Photography for Beginners: Capture the Bigger Picture

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this course. Thank you so much for taking part and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the project you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand new one! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: Inspiration and Ideation Come up with a creative idea. Don't be afraid to look for inspiration online, like on the web pages of your favorite photographers. After all, you are learning. Location Scouting Find a suitable location. Thinking Ahead Don’t forget to check the weather. Don't shoot if it's raining, snowing, or very windy. The Props If you want to create a top-down portrait, get a model and find props: colorful items and objects that may improve the aesthetic of your image. The Photoshoot When shooting, play with angles and composition. Try to shoot from different heights and ask your model to change poses.

Editing Import your photo(s) into Adobe Lightroom and refine it. And that's all! I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there!”
