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.

Welcome once again!

Hi from sunny Blackpool.

I shoot in both jpeg & raw. However most pics I post on hear are jpegs on auto , (3 shots in AEB )& straight out of drone, which I think are pretty good, artistic composition aside. If I want to further enhance I pick one of the exposures near to the final result I want and work on that in Lightroom, there’s no apurture adjustment unless you go to the Mavic pro’s, then on top of their expense your restricted to where you can fly them (I do fly however an old Mavic 2 pro which has variable aperture and is a great drone, however due to the limitations in where I can fly it, I mainly now use an air 3s and put up with the lack of aperture adjustment ).

Hi @Stirling welcome to the world if drones. If you haven’t already found it, as suggested by @Rocket then here is my website: elevatedperspectives.co.uk

I suggest you take a look at the “Out of the Box” page, which is a series of tutorials aimed at the absolute beginner and upwards.

Happy flying.
Paul
