9 Helpful Beginner Tips for Fall Drone Photography

Fall is here, and with it come trees awash in gorgeous colors, giving you the opportunity to create some truly eye-catching images. A drone offers you a way to capture a different perspective, and this helpful video tutorial will offer new drone users nine tips to get better fall photos using one. 

Coming to you from Shutterstock Tutorials, this awesome video tutorial will give you some helpful beginner tips for creating better fall photos with your drone. With how portable many drones have become, you do not have to make it a dedicated trip; you can simply pop one in your bag with the rest of your lenses and make it part of a normal hike or the like. One important thing to remember is to vary the camera angle and height a bit. With drones, it is common to go up high and aim the camera toward the horizon. However, you can create more abstract, geometric composition by aiming your camera straight down or interesting takes on normal landscape shots by just being 20 to 30 feet above the ground. Be sure to play with where you position your drone and not just stick to one spot. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
