With the advent of drones, photography has reached new heights. Photographer Adam Wradenburg has some helpful tips on how to make drone photography really special. Above all, good photography requires planning and research. Second, consider flight times: it is best to take full advantage of the limited battery life, since recharging, especially in nature, is also very limited. Thirdly, you need to test the limits of your drone's capabilities, both in height and in range. This will give you a better understanding of the capabilities of your drone. The fourth tip is “don't fly high, fly low,” which basically means that you don't really need to have the highest altitude to get the best photo of anything.
