UAV framing method

The framing method for drones is as follows:

1. Horizontal three-point photography method

Most drones provide a three-axis stabilized gimbal , so there is basically no need to worry about whether the lens is horizontal. What should be paid attention to is the height of the horizontal line on the viewfinder frame. Similar to the concept of traditional photography, landscape photography can be composed according to the rule of thirds, that is, it is divided into three parts: the sky at the top, the distant view in the middle, and the close-up view at the bottom. The proportions of the three parts are roughly the same. If you want to emphasize the changes in sky color, it is not a big problem to change to the dichotomy method.

The composition of aerial photography is based on the rule of thirds: the sky is at the top, the distant view is in the middle, the close-up view is at the bottom, and the world is divided into three parts.

2. Use the landscape to extend the sense of perspective

If you feel that using horizontal lines to shoot landscapes is too neat and uncreative, or the scene does not have clear horizontal lines, you can try using the extension of the scenery. , using a sense of perspective to highlight the feeling of endless sky and grand space. Coastlines and highways are great embellishments, and the slightly curved river cuts the picture in an almost diagonal manner, sometimes with unexpected effects. This shooting technique is especially suitable when there are not many details in the sky but you want to emphasize the landscape.

For example: in aerial photography of a city in the dark, the grid lines formed by traffic lanes appear particularly clear; in an overpass, it extends from the bottom of the screen to the sky, creating a sense of grand space.

3. Geometric lines add flavor to the bird’s eye view

The most fascinating thing about aerial photography is, of course, that you can shoot at impossible points to obtain unprecedented visual effects. . Speaking of the unique shooting techniques of aerial photography, it must be the completely vertical bird's-eye view angle. The most basic composition technique is to look for geometric shapes in nature and make good use of geometric lines to add flavor to photos.
