Aerial landscape photography has long fascinated me. Luckily advances in Drone/UAV technology have now put aerial photography well within the reach of many photographers - but why a drone? The alternative of course is an aeroplane or helicopter and whilst both have advantages, conventional aviation isn’t cheap (especially helicopters) or immediate. They require a second person to fly whilst you take the photographs and certainly in the case of an aeroplane can’t be precision hovered whilst the photographer carefully attempts to compose a photograph. That said one or two of the aerial photographs have been taken from helicopters usually Robinson R22's. A drone by comparison can be put into the air very quickly. It can be flown lower than an aeroplane and at a reasonable cost. If the light takes a turn for the worse it can be brought down to save battery life but be back in the air very quickly if things improve. For the serious photographer, they are potentially one of the most exciting technological developments since the emergence of digital.

(The legal bit! - with the revised EASA UAV regulations that came into force on the 31 December 2020 I now operate UAVs commercially in the 'Open, A3 Category' (ex PfCO CAA ID UAS 6899).
