Aerial photographs are fascinating because they reveal the Earth from an unfamiliar perspective. From a height of several dozen to several hundred meters, even an ordinary landscape can become a remarkable spectacle.
Until recently, photographers had limited ways to explore this third dimension. That changed rapidly with the rise of affordable unmanned aerial vehicles—commonly called drones—equipped with cameras.
In this book, Wiebe de Jager sets out the possibilities of drone photography step by step. It begins with the components of a camera drone and then examines several popular models at different price points.
After a short introduction to digital photography, the book provides guidance on making photographs from the air. It concludes with practical advice for readers who want to progress further and discusses the regulations current when this edition was published. Numerous inspiring aerial photographs complement the text.
This fourth, revised edition discusses not only the latest drones but also updates the chapter on regulations for the situation at the time of publication, including operating categories, registration requirements, pilot certification and remote identification.
