Location
This photo was taken on a trip to the Black Forest in southern Germany.Time
I took this at sunset, after walking around the castle, I decided I wanted to take the photo from a different perspective. We drove for around 20 minutes to a small village where you could view the castle with the sun setting in the background.Lighting
I decided I want to capture the sun setting over the castle, and luckily we arrived behind the castle just in time to capture the shot above.Equipment
This was shot using a DJI Phantom 3 Advanced with a 4 stop ND filter.Inspiration
I had seen some great pictures of german castles so I wanted to get one for myself. Using my newly purchased drone it gave me the perfect perspective to capture the image I wanted!Editing
Yes, I processed the photo to give it a HDR look and stitch together 5 photos to create the panorama. I also add some sharpening and some colour noise reduction.In my camera bag
I normally carry a Nikon D750, Tamron 15-30, Tamron 24-70, Sigma 150-600C and where possible my DJI Phantom 3 Advanced for aerial shots.Feedback
My only advice is make sure you try capture aerial photos during Golden Hour, it makes a huge difference to what you capture!
