So I opened a maps website with 360 panoramic images and saw views like this:

Sunrise, shadows and fog. Just some aerostat took a photo and it’s beautiful. But I very rarely see aerial photos! There are so many landscape photographers, but they all shoot from their perspective. So why isn’t aerial photography as popular?

    I have been flying fpv racing drones (and RC before that) for a while now. My flying hobby and photography hobby were separate.

    Most drone pilots aren’t coming from a photography background. They don’t have years developing their eye. The first instinct is to fly as high as possible and shoot flat boring shots.

    This year I picked up a camera drone and am starting to merge my hobbies. I am still struggling to produce compelling images but I am enjoying the challenge.
