[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Good tips! No matter what the mission: building a house, sailing around the world, or flying a drone preparation is the key.

[@il798liOld]

i absolutely loved the tip for using google earth to plan your shots. thanks mr McGee!

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

My pleasure!

[@TheDeathCrafter]

Wow! I didn't know about the tap function for focus!

[@goudarzjz4149]

I'm new to drone photography with my DJI Mini 2 SE. Both (drone + photography) is my favorites. I like to learn more and more and I found your channel. Thank you for great advice

[@thewelsho]

What an outstanding video! No just the content but the presentation, the lighting, the editing... a work of art in itself. Awesome!

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Thanks for the sub, Welcome!

Absolute legend ❤❤

[@nevvanclarke9225]

I'm a pretty experienced land-based photographer and I'm relatively new to drain photography I would use burst mode for most of my shots especially when you get down to low shadow speeds of say 1:15 I will use an nd64 and even an nd1000 to create mini long exposures where I can get some motion blur in the water if you are going to do this use the burst mode x 5 it works really well I'm guaranteed one of the images will be sharp the other tip that I would use is to use filters because they do make a difference but don't use the pl is this just add saturation which you don't need thanks for your video and yes I will subscribe😂

[@williamderry6522]

Extremely well done! a tip-filled 8min with no fluff

[@torchedcustomwoodflagsllc4718]

Thank you! I've watched several of these tips videos from other creators, and this one had several tips I hadn't heard before.

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Glad you got something new from it. Thanks for watching.

[@Anton.Roznov]

My goodness .. "tap to focus" ?? 😲😲so I had no idea of that. Thanks a lot!!

[@NiklasJuritsch]

it would be so sick if the drone had a tap to tracking feature just like the full frame camera!!

[@yottstwitch7222]

Heads up, AEB shoots at reduced mp size. for example, on the mini 3 pro, standard photos are 48mp while AEB sets are 12mp. For highest resolution, shoot manually and bracket a couple stops below and above yourself.

[@Percheftionist]

Bruh I am legit a big fan of yours today! I just surfed through all your content and am waiting for more!

[@ctzerbe1]

Good tips. In addition to AEB I also often manually pano my shots to give me more flexibility back in the digital dark room.

[@parrotheadstx]

[@dansearle7024]

Thanks again Mark for some awesome tips. Your channel truly is under appreciated. You should be well over 1m subs given how good your content, advice and tutorials are!!

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Im still learning and as I take video of moving trains in western Canada with my Air 2s I fully agree dusk and dawn video gives amazing results. Following a long object means doing it all manually is the only way to track a train. The tracking does not like to lock onto just the locomotives and often they are moving faster than the drone can keep up with anyhow.

[@BFFConstables]

Wow amazing .

[@sky_viewgr6795]

Very nice tutorial...thanks for sharing.. keep going 👍

[@FiiReSoRm]

Hey, even as a long time photograph, I never had the idea with the circle function. Thank you for this gem :)

[@easterntwin9919]

Thank you

[@jasonlee4267]

@2:26 the waves and lighthouse, what are you doing there to the photograph? are you painting the image in or something on photoshop? i dont know this technique, also when you shoot towards the sun is it better to expose more for the sun initially or is it ok just to simply expose initially for the rest of the scene, so for example when you took the church ruins it didnt appear that you exposed for the sun at all so is there enough info not to be blown out with the remaining shots or did you do multiple AEB stacks so for example 2x3AEBs then merged? if that makes sense

[@joeshmoe7967]

At 2:26, was talking about Auto Bracketing, which allows blending multiple shots to make a final image. In his example he would have been erasing the more exposed clouds to reveal the lesser exposed ones in layer below the top one. Same for the church ruins. Bracketing gives edit choices. HDR (High Dynamic Range) shots are created this way with the camera or software doing the combining, but can also be done manually with a set of Auto Bracketed shots. Hope this helps. - Cheers

[@jasonlee4267]

Thanks for the help, but I know the process of bracketed shots and hdr, what I was asking is how is it done,? as in how is he painting the other image, what is the process of stacking the images in the first place, is it a setting as like Lightroom ala merge to hdr or something? Shooting in a not usually difficult, it’s usually all the editing that I struggle with, especially in photoshop as I’m only really working with Lightroom although I have both programs

[@Retset]

Only thing I can add is to consider panoramas for big views as a way of getting more detail in the final print. I'm using a Mini 2 and the way it takes panos seems to be totally unstichable to me so I have to rely on the JPEG that the drone made (um, no thanks) or take them in a more conventional grid pattern and stitch in LR/PS. Not sure if this is the case with the bigger models.

[@vinaybluesheep5978]

So nice informative tips ❤️👍

[@rickymundy8663]

Great tutorial Mark. I’m thinking about buying a drone for my photography. Any suggestions for the best camera drone for stills. Thank again

[@pty507droneadventure7]

Cheers very informative indeed

[@TriniWeekes]

Thank you so much for this great info. I am about to pick up a mavic 3 and wanted to start taking some beautiful photos like the ones in your video. I have a couple of questions? 1. What software will you recommend for editing my pics?? 2. Do you recommend I get a set of ND filters for photos??

[@douglasterry1]

Where is the photo at 2:56 from?

[@BackDaws]

Does DJI's quick shots and light cut use the raw format when editing ?

[@ronactive]

Gut erklärtes Video mit interessanten Tips. Viele Grüße ronactive

[@greengirlsgolfcaddies6121]

Hi Mark . What is the best drone to shoot videos . I want to shoot a video of fitness video . Any opinions

[@seanmullins4623]

Hi Mark love the content, I'm just a beginner but learning little bits here and there from your channel. I have an air2s for the last 2 years but don't use it as often as I would like to. One thing I was hoping to find out is what shutter speed do you have your drone set to for taking photos? Many thanks in advance. 😊

[@kyrgeorge]

Great tutorial.. but i have some questions. When you set the drone to auto circle an object (@ 2:34) so to get better compositions, do you mean that you video recording and then at post edit you freeze a frame? Then do you still have White Balance fixed? For drone photography, do you use nd filters (to double the fps (180 rule) ?

[@Samulawl]

For the auto circle, I think he just means to do this to "preview" the possible compositions. Then you can reposition and reframe afterwards and take the actual picture wherever you like

[@kyrgeorge]

@@Samulawl Oh i see. Thanks for the answer!

[@alanlafferty6593]

Hey mark Loving the vids Can i ask what computer you use for post? Seems super fast

[@youareslick]

@7:03 is that sign genuine or just a land owner wishing to make you buy a licence to take photos?

[@y.mercier6273]

Do you use nd or nd/pl filters for drone photography?

[@kuyajayyoutubechannel6327]

In all ur photography wat brand of SD card did u use in ur expensive camera and drones.

[@joeshmoe7967]

I use Sandisk cards exclusively and they have never let me down 64GB Pro or extreme. Other brands may also be reliable, but I tend to stick with the ones I have used for years. - Cheers

[@tacpyro]

Awesome tip!! What size is the frames you got behind you?

[@tadssicholo8670]

Can we get a video of cameras from budget to expensive and maybe you can also recommend cameras in the different price ranges

[@jamesss1953]

I’m V new to your channel ( 1st of yours just now & I’ve Sub’d and 👍). Google Earth 3D :- never entered my head but will in future). I’ve only managed 2 days of flights with M3 and only 2nd day did I take images. Brilliant and looking forwards to more

[@paulton31]

Nice

[@prof-dron]

super

[@MrPixelution]

what drone do you recommend for photography?

[@NiklasJuritsch]

I would go for the mavic air 2! It is the same price as the mavic air, but it is ten times better!

[@droningwesternaustralia]

Thanks Mark, Unfortunately I only have a mini 1, I have two options 4:3 & 16:9 so I always use 4:3. How much difference is the between 3:2 and 4:3

[@kenwell1806]

so you get upgrade form the mini

[@videosinfrench9928]

Just a note. If highlites are blown out, it is not possible to develop detail in those highlites.

[@butters190580]

What drone is it?

[@musify6444]

Which drone have you used in this video sir?

[@PerfectPerfect23]

Looks to be the mavic zoom. Not totally sure but I think that’s the one with orange prop tips in their lineup

[@IaninLondon]

That's the Air 2S as shown at 0:02 Cheers!

[@Mimic000]

Don't you get tired, for creating such stunning pictures?

[@BelizeByDrone]

Set to auto. Drone camera will guess the best white balance of the scene. Switch back to manual. Boom, your white balance is set. Proceed to take pictures.
