I’ve been a wedding photographer for around 15 years, and surprisingly, I haven’t bought a drone to get aerial shots of wedding venues! (Though that may happen now that I’ve got one.)
I’ve always had a keen interest in archaeology and heritage, and this year I’ve put a load of time and effort into pursuing this. Joining the local archaeological society, volunteering at digs, etc. But what I really enjoy about archaeology, is the landscape side of things, which is why I initially wanted a drone. But earlier this year, my wife persuaded me to apply for some Arts Council funding to do a project around heritage/archaeology and photogrammetry. I somehow got it, and my first purchase was a beautiful DJI Mini 4 Pro.
Winter might not be the best time to be getting into this, but I’m looking forward to getting out there and getting a new perspective on some of Derbyshire’s historic landscapes!
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else in here is upto, and no doubt picking your brains for all they’re worth!
Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.
There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.
We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has very powerful search features which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the Questions & Answers category.
And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what it’s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.
