Aerial photo- and videography

Aerial photo- and videography is#nbsp;a#nbsp;great way to#nbsp;show the scope of#nbsp;a#nbsp;project/event and see it#nbsp;from an#nbsp;off-the-beaten-path angle.
The object of#nbsp;shooting can be#nbsp;a#nbsp;panorama of#nbsp;nature or#nbsp;a#nbsp;building under construction, a#nbsp;holiday in#nbsp;the daytime or#nbsp;a#nbsp;night fireworks display. A#nbsp;photo of#nbsp;an#nbsp;office building in#nbsp;the sunlight will decorate a#nbsp;corporate website, and an#nbsp;overflight of#nbsp;a#nbsp;construction site (including on#nbsp;a#nbsp;regular basis) will allow you to#nbsp;monitor the progress of#nbsp;work. There can be#nbsp;a#nbsp;lot of#nbsp;applications.

The proliferation of#nbsp;quadcopters has led to#nbsp;an#nbsp;increase in#nbsp;offerings in#nbsp;the aerial photography market. But the devil, as#nbsp;usual, lies in#nbsp;the details. Lack of#nbsp;contextualization, trying to#nbsp;fit a#nbsp;shoot into a#nbsp;20-minute session until the battery runs out is#nbsp;a#nbsp;questionable approach.
The smart thing to#nbsp;do#nbsp;is to#nbsp;start with the task at#nbsp;hand. What for, for whom you are shooting, goals and specifics. Sightseeing for a#nbsp;travel agency or#nbsp;a#nbsp;factory under construction#nbsp;— the approaches should be#nbsp;different. Exaggerating, for the first case, sunny weather, abundance of#nbsp;passers-by, maybe a#nbsp;summer/winter or#nbsp;day/night combination are probably important. In#nbsp;the second case, the emphasis is#nbsp;usually on#nbsp;capturing the stages of#nbsp;construction, the process (welding, people and machinery), the background, and the subtleties (what should be#nbsp;in#nbsp;the frame and what should not).
Preparatory work is#nbsp;essential. Then the shooting itself and the subsequent events are quick and clear (JAB!).
The result can be#nbsp;either video (sources, edited video) or#nbsp;photo (scene, panorama). For demonstration of#nbsp;panning we#nbsp;have made a#nbsp;couple of#nbsp;them#nbsp;— click on#nbsp;the photo and rotate (12.5 Mb#nbsp;each):
From 2022 we’re ready to#nbsp;participate in#nbsp;projects throughout Israel.
