to property and people &#8211; so you can&#8217;t just pop into Leeds and shoot the town hall from above &#8211; which is gutting as that&#8217;d be awesome! So you have to find open spaces with things in &#8211; that probably means a fair drive out from the city you live in before you get something exciting. Add to that you only get 20 minutes per battery (I&#8217;ve got 3) you are a little reluctant to drive 1 hour &#8211; shoot for an hour &#8211; then drive an hour back! I&#8217;ve just ordered a car charger though so that may change!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Worrying about other people<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;m new to this so having dog walkers and ramblers nearby when you&#8217;re doing it seems a bit wrong&#8230; what if something goes wrong? And will they moan about the noise? The actual truth is most people are &#8220;interested&#8221; and enjoy looking at your phone if you show them. So I&#8217;m gradually getting closer to them, though never within 50m of anyone as that&#8217;s illegal<\/p>\n<h3>Communications between the controller and drone<\/h3>\n<p>This is usually fine if you use the controller you get in the box &#8211; though at Crummock Water, it did lose comms mid flight&#8230; thankfully the drone just came home and landed itself. That&#8217;s a godsend. I then had to use the phone on its own &#8211; the drone has wifi and can talk directly to the phone. I attempted this twice, following the instructions to the letter &#8211; on both occasions it took over 30 minutes of struggle and worse, it wasted 1\/2 the drone battery whilst it sat on the ground. I&#8217;m sure this is a learning curve, the main lesson being has a micro USB charger in the car for the controller&#8230;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Lighting and sky burnout<\/h3>\n<p>This is a pain for any landscaper really &#8211; you expose for the sky, you get dark land &#8211; and vice versa with a white sky&#8230; The land-based photographer can use ND Grad filters to darken the sky, leaving the land normal. You can&#8217;t do this with the drone and do panos&#8230;. It DOES do HDR, and saves the braceted images for you &#8211; and the files are RAW so you can do a fair bit with them. if you&#8217;re used to a Full frame RAW file though, you&#8217;ll be amazed how like a 2006 camera these files are&#8230; not great with noise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Should you get one&#8230;.&nbsp;<\/h1>\n<p>Like anything, they&#8217;re getting smaller and cheaper with time. The Mavic Pro 2 is around \u00a31500 &#8211; the Air is \u00a31000 with 3 batteries and DJI have a Spark which is cheaper still.&nbsp;They are surprisingly easy to use and safety is built in &#8211; they have sensors to stop them crashing &#8211; though you can switch them off and trash if it you like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s great fun but you do need to find places to do it &#8211; so if you&#8217;re not adventurous then it&#8217;s probably not for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve fallen out of love with photography, it does give you a new angle on the hobby &#8211; literally!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However &#8211; you may need to register and pay for a licence&nbsp;in 2019&#8230;. be ready for that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<style>\r\n.lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{\r\n            \r\n            margin-top: 40px;\nmargin-bottom: 30px;\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-title{\r\n            \r\n            \r\n        }.lwrp .lwrp-description{\r\n            \r\n            \r\n\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{\r\n            display: flex;\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{\r\n            width: 48%;\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{\r\n            width: 32%;\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{\r\n            display: flex;\r\n            justify-content: space-between;\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{\r\n            width: calc(12% - 20px);\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){\r\n            \r\n            max-width: 450px;\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{\r\n            max-width: 100%;\r\n            height: auto;\r\n            object-fit: cover;\r\n            aspect-ratio: 1 \/ 1;\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{\r\n            background: initial !important;\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text,\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{\r\n            \r\n            \r\n            \r\n            \r\n        }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {\r\n            .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{\r\n                \r\n                \r\n            }\r\n            .lwrp .lwrp-title{\r\n                \r\n                \r\n            }.lwrp .lwrp-description{\r\n                \r\n                \r\n            }\r\n            .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{\r\n                flex-direction: column;\r\n            }\r\n            .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{\r\n                margin-top: 0px;\r\n                margin-bottom: 0px;\r\n                padding-top: 0px;\r\n                padding-bottom: 0px;\r\n            }\r\n            .lwrp .lwrp-list-double,\r\n            .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{\r\n                width: 100%;\r\n            }\r\n            .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{\r\n                justify-content: initial;\r\n                flex-direction: column;\r\n            }\r\n            .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{\r\n                width: 100%;\r\n            }\r\n            .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){\r\n                \r\n                max-width: initial;\r\n            }\r\n            .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text,\r\n            .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{\r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n            };\r\n        }<\/style>\r\n<div id=\"link-whisper-related-posts-widget\" class=\"link-whisper-related-posts lwrp\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"lwrp-title\">Related Posts<\/h3>    \r\n        <div class=\"lwrp-list-container\">\r\n                                            <ul class=\"lwrp-list lwrp-list-single\">\r\n                    <li class=\"lwrp-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/selby-abbey-long-exposure-photography\/\" class=\"lwrp-list-link\"><img width=\"480\" height=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0102-Selby-Abbey-2022_03_06-by-McFade-Edit.jpg\" class=\"attachment-480x480 size-480x480 wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0102-Selby-Abbey-2022_03_06-by-McFade-Edit.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0102-Selby-Abbey-2022_03_06-by-McFade-Edit-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0102-Selby-Abbey-2022_03_06-by-McFade-Edit-73x50.jpg 73w, https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0102-Selby-Abbey-2022_03_06-by-McFade-Edit-650x444.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.mcfade.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/0102-Selby-Abbey-2022_03_06-by-McFade-Edit-50x34.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><br><span class=\"lwrp-list-link-title-text\">Selby Abbey &#8211;
