My first Attempt at creating a Aerial Photography Video
I used Adobe Premiere Pro to create this Aerial Video. If some of you would like to learn how I did it, let me know and if we get enough people, I will do a little course on it.
I have noticed that there are photographers in our club who also dabble in drone photography. I would like to start a SIG to promote drone photography, so I am writing this article to measure the interest in this relatively new field of photography.
My first thought is to get together with like minded drone photographers and have a meeting and/or field trip to discuss how we want to organize ourselves and maybe do some practice drone flying. For those whose machines are over 250 gm it might be a good idea to go over the legal requirements we need to fly.
Right now, I’m still looking for a legal and safe place to fly and to practice a little. Nothing too challenging on the first field trip, it’s just to get a feel for the group and our skill levels.
The long view is if we get enough people involved, we could then form a committee with a committee chair and be incorporated into the club as a proper SIG. That way we get the benefit of the club’s resources.
My feeling is that there is no other organization on the island that represents drone photography, and we could become the go-to group for people interested in this fascinating hobby. It would draw in new members to this club who are interested in learning more and getting guidance and maybe get more club members to take it up. We could even help them get their pilots licence and registration, as well as give them practice exercises to improve their flying skills and photography. Maybe even enter some competitions with other drone flying organizations.
Here are some competitions that you might enjoy looking at; Drone Photo Awards 2022, Drone Photography Awards, and Sienna Awards. Some competitions have awards of up to €500.00. Go to the March issue of online Close-Up on our website (www.victoriacameraclub.ca/) to look at these images as the web addresses are too long to print here. As you can see some of this photography is truly mesmerizing and utterly amazing. These competitions will help you get a feel for the level of photography we would be joining. I’m sure we have talent in our club to compete.
What I love about drone flying is the skills you need to master it. You need to be able to fly competently and skillfully as well as having photography skills. Drones are just flying cameras except they are cameras that can get hung up in a tree or crash into something.
If this of interest to you contact me at directoratlarge1@victoriacameraclub.ca and if we get enough people, I will arrange a field trip or a meeting to discuss more.
