    Drone for Real Estate photography

    I had a famous photographer tell me one time that "it's not the cost fo the equipment in our bag, it's the eye of the person behind the camera".

    Pacific Coast Golden Hour

    Nice work. For what it's worth, I do some work for a commercial realtor who specializes in big ranches and he wants the final work product no longer that 90 seconds. He told me that studies show after 90 seconds, the viewer tunes out and may not come back to the website unless the property has...

    DJI Mavic Mini Released!

    I carry my P4P in my truck all of the time but occasionally, I end up in a place that I wished I had my it. I do carry my camera bag which the new mini would fit in quite nicely and give me that extra camera angle I was looking for. The new mini is the same resolution as my original Canon 10D...

    Flying over water

    No oceans in North Texas but I do fly over a lot of lakes, ponds (in Texas they are called tanks) and rivers. Just like flying over heavily wooded areas, watch the battery, signal strength and everything else. The only problems I have had was flying near buildings where there were a lot of power...

    Camera settings help!

    The reply above are right on target. Just remember to have the light behind you if possible and make sure the focus is set properly. Sometimes AUTO makes sense due to changing light and and weather conditions. My advice is to follow some photographers on social media such as Tony Northrup on...

    Battery

    One of the batteries that came with my P4P 2years ago developed a bulge in the case causing it to be difficult to insert and remove. I exchanged emails with DJI Support (they suggested I get a new battery) and since it was out of the warranty period, I ordered a new one on Amazon. I learned long...

    Drone for Real Estate photography

    Well said. Remember, the camera is only as good as the person holding it. I have has as much success using the iPhone 8 as I have with my Canon Mk5iii. The same with the Drone - it is all about how you approach the project and your knowledge of light.

    Recommended settings p4p+

    Actually the AUTO function works well along with the AP function. Looking at the photo you attached I see a lot of glare. When taking photos we need to make sure the sun is behind the camera at an angle and not directly behind the camera so as to approach the object at an angle that will not...

    Study tips

    Look for Tony Northrup in YOUTUBE. He has a video on the test and some nice work on drones in general. I read a book or to and then took a 1 day workshop at the photography event in Dallas and took the test the next day. Different perspectives help a lot.
