How to record the refreshing city and sea surface with aerial photography?

For beginners, you must first read the instructions twice. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a necessary procedure unless you have experienced flying hands to guide you. You should practice frequently, such as hovering, flying around and flying in a figure of eight. Please remember to stay away from crowds.

Aerial photography experience:

1, charge the equipment before shooting: it is basically impossible to charge outdoors, so check the battery charge before going out, so be sure to charge all the equipment before shooting. Also remember to bring high-speed memory cards, commonly used Sandisk and Toshiba.

2. Choose the right weather and time: The best weather for aerial photography is sunny, and the composition will be more comfortable against the blue sky and white clouds. It is best to choose sunrise or sunset for better shooting effect, which is also the prime time often mentioned in photography.

3. Pre-design aerial photography route: Before shooting, determine the theme, composition and route of the lens required for the film, minimize invalid flight, estimate the interference sources of surrounding signals, and have different plans to reduce the possibility of losing control.

4. Debugging the machine before take-off: After take-off, hover for about one minute to observe the plane, and then fly after it is confirmed. Otherwise, flying high can't make up for the mistake, and the plane has uncontrollable risks. Machine debugging includes whether the basic parameters of the camera, such as white balance, shutter and aperture, are set reasonably, and whether the battery and memory card are installed. It is best to put one on the Shoot before the plane takes off and monitor the effect on the display.

5. file in advance and buy insurance; Aerial photography is risky and insurance is necessary.

6. Avoid interference sources: avoid the interference of ropes, trees, high-voltage lines and communication base stations during aerial photography. In order to avoid electromagnetic interference and ensure safety, it is suggested that you learn attitude mode or manual mode to fly. At the same time, avoid airports, gas stations, military areas or sensitive areas, except after applying for flight permission.

7. Aerial shots should be varied: just like ground shooting, aerial shots should be grouped to shoot different scenes and angles.

8. Try different shooting heights: The closer you are to the ground, the stronger the impact of the picture, and the rich changes in the visual center can attract the attention of the audience.

9. Don't be greedy for heights and distances: aerial photography = navigation+shooting, navigation is the way, and the focus is shooting. It is not how far you fly, but the content of the image that determines your flying distance and height, as well as the focal length of the lens.

Aerial photography skills:

First, flying in a straight line: There are many ways to shoot a straight line, such as:

1, flying in a straight line, shooting with the lens forward: one of the most commonly used methods, generally shooting coastlines, deserts, ridges, highways, etc. Flying forward in the picture, the lens slowly looks up from the ground to the distance, and then moves forward, and the lens is done in one go.

2, flying straight ahead, overlooking the camera shooting: prone lens is often used to shoot cities and forests, especially a straight road, a neat row of vehicles, Woods, houses and so on. Fly straight ahead, look down at the lens, and shoot different objects according to height and speed to reflect scale, quantity and uniformity.

3. Flies in a straight line, and the camera is reversed: there will always be new pictures in the camera, which will increase the richness.

4. Horizontal flight, lens head-up: When shooting a city in this way, the commonly used medium-long lens gradually moves away from the foreground to show the theme and background, and the lens language changes greatly. For example, the Bund in Shanghai, now take the theme of the Bund, and translate the lens, there will be Lujiazui architecture, and the lens will be more abundant.

5, vertical lifting flight, lens head-up or pitch: vertical upward, suitable for backlit high-rise buildings, such as Lujiazui, Shanghai. When the plane rises vertically, the lens can be shot down, or it can be accelerated later, and the lens quickly expands from a local area to a panoramic view, such as shooting nanpu bridge. You can also pull it up while turning, and the visual effect is better ~

Second, diagonal flight: the most commonly used skill in diagonal flight is "passing", but it is divided into the following situations:

1, flying obliquely downward, camera forward: the plane flew obliquely downward from a height to a building.

2. Fly obliquely upward, cross the foreground, the camera is forward, and the plane is upward: in short, it can also be called "pull up", which has a feeling of being suddenly enlightened and is often used in Hollywood and Indian movies.

3. Fly obliquely upwards towards the target, and turn and shoot when passing by.

4. Fly backward obliquely, skim the foreground, and the lens retreats, which is equivalent to reverse skimming, descending and retreating from the panoramic edge, and the subject appears in the foreground. Often used in the opening credits, the lens slowly shifts from the big environment to the individual. But it is generally said that it is easier to pull up than to pull down. If the falling speed is too fast, it is easy to cause a bomber. Be more careful when there is wind. For example, Kunming Yingjun's multi-rotor has this advantage.

Third, fixed-point hovering: The current flight control is easy to achieve fixed-point hovering, and fixed-point is suitable for taking pictures. The angle between the plane and the lens is fixed, whether shooting geometric buildings or shooting sports events in the stadium.

An airplane or camera pan/tilt is used to photograph buildings, forests, roads, cliffs, waterfalls, temples, halls, stations, etc.

Follow-up: Follow-up when the height and angle allow. It can be used in the back, front and side, and is often used to shoot extreme sports such as racing, skiing and surfing, as well as some action movies. The live aerial photography of police arresting people in American blockbusters is often imitated. You can refer to Speed and Passion 5, which has a long shot of following the team at low altitude.

Fixed-point flying around: also called brush pot, with a theme as the center, the aircraft circles around it to shoot. It is not difficult to shoot with a pen container now, especially in GPS mode. However, there will be some difficulties in windy conditions. The height of the plane will change in both downwind and headwind, and the downwind will rise and the headwind will fall. In addition, attention should be paid to the direction of the circle when shooting religious-related stupas, for example, general Buddhism should turn clockwise.

The common shooting techniques for fixed-point flying around are parallel altitude hovering and overhead hovering. When hovering in parallel, the height of the plane is the same as that of the subject, which can better highlight the subject, while the plane hovering overhead is higher than the subject. This trick can be used to show a person's loneliness, but at a slower speed.

Circuitous route: circuitous routes often take some very beautiful curves, and there is no clear shooting goal, such as walking around, which is more natural to shoot.
