Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in London about 2 years ago. So the surrounding and skyline may has changed a little in the while.

Time

It was daylight, i think something between 5PM and 8PM

Lighting

Lighting is key. So I prefer to go shooting in the morning or evening sunlight.

Equipment

This was shot with a DJI Mavic

Inspiration

At this time drone photography was something completely new for me. I also bought the mavic just before the trip to London and generally had to try something out and play around with it. So this is how the photo was created.

Editing

I only work with lightroom where i adjust color adjustments, white balance, contrast, curves and things like that. So no photoshop manipulation in here.

In my camera bag

Thats a good question, but it depends on where and what I take pictures of. But for sure I always pack in my Sony A7R2 and the Voigtländer 10mm f5,6. Sometimes I also take the Samyang 12mm f2 and the Sony Zeiss 24-70mm f4 with me. Optionally, I would also like to take the dji mavic with me, but it depends on the location.

Feedback

Over the years, laws for using drones have been enacted all over the world. These differ greatly, so you better should pay attention to your local guidelines.
