Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in the Western gate of Serdica archaeological park in Sofia city, Bulgaria.

Time

Around 12 oclock noon

Lighting

Even though it was in the winter, the sun was rwally bright and leaving the drone camera on auto played a kind of bad joke on me this day, but I think I managed to neglect it in post-processing.

Equipment

DJI Mavic 2 Zoom drone.

Inspiration

I was supposed to make a video for the museum where I work and which manages the park after making some clips I thought it a good idea to take also some pictures.

Editing

Yes, I used some options on Photoshop with no particular idea what I wanted to achieve, just pushed some buttons until I thought it looked good and after that made some experimemts with the tilt-shift effect.

In my camera bag

The above mentioned Mavic 2 Zoom, people are always going for the Mavic 2 Pro because of the Hasselblad camera so the Zoom is really underestimated even though it is a great drone. Almost always I carry DJI Action and/or DJI Pocket 2 and sometimes my old Nikon D50, yeah I know it's completely outdated, but it still works after all those years.

Feedback

Don't underestimate the drones ability to take footage from lower heights. You don't need to be always 100, 200, 500 meters above, sometimes good shots can be made from 3, 4, 5 meters over the ground.
