  • So as it turns out, this aerial photography thing is actually quite tricky. Many pics, they all look wonky somehow. Anyway, three less-bad ones from the weekend.

  • It’s partly because of how you’re leaning, partly the extremity of your focal length, and partly cos we don’t build things in perfect grids.

    Do you have access to do it more frequently? What’s your setup? Traditionally you needed a hole in the bottom of the aircraft so you could use levels to get the camera dead straight. I think a lot of stuff way way back also had grid markers to allow for distortion.

    Egg-sucking question, are you using a spirit level on top of the camera?

  • It's all drones these days surely...

  • Honestly, this was opportunistic photography rather than a dedicated trip. My partner got us tickets for a hot air balloon, so I took the camera!

    Don't have access to do it more frequently, setup was a mirrorless camera leaning over the side of the basket (as below), and I do not have a spirit level. Just an enjoyable day really, and I felt like sharing.
