Drone Selfies: PhotosShadow

Appearing as shadows would certainly have a wow factor. This is especially true when you can look at your shadow from another angle which you can’t achieve without a drone. Fly your drone to a  height that allows you to compose your photo as you desire. Shadow, camera, action! A unique selfie is yours.

Long Exposure Shots

Long exposure can create stunning photos. With the help of glow sticks or a flashlight, you can easily light paint and set a unique background for your selfie.  Fly your drone to a suitable height and compose your photo. Then adjust the shutter speed to around 2 seconds. Your spectacular selfie is ready! Make sure your drone’s GPS signal is good so your aircraft doesn’t drift.

High-angle Shot

Think how you can take advantage of what is around you to make your selfies really stand out. Why not fly your drone up and make a high-angle shot? Impress people with the unique view that can add impact to your selfie.

I have posted a new video of Riotinto mines ;-)

Brilliant, thanks for the tips

awesome Selfies

As a newbie, am I allowed to be a bit confused?
In the last four examples, the young lady does not appear to be piloting the drone. I guess when you drag a box round yourself to give the camera a "target", it can be you or a young convenient lady, and the selected Intelligent Flight mode follows as planned? Am I right so far?
But if you do a traced/profile/tap-fly picture - using a subject, isn't that just a photo - not a selfie?

...what I meant was - thanks for posting!

nicely done - thanks for sharing.
