Make way more Money with Mavic Photography (pt 2)

Yes there is a course if you're the person who wants more:
Also here's a KZbin thank you heart.exe
$50 OFF my Drone Photo Course:

Last time we talked about the approach for handing out awesome shots to Marketing and PR Agencies (which are more consistent and always preferred) as freebies to encourage a response and a conversation, instead of emailing to nag for free contact connections.
Watch that video if you need to catch up - there is a reason we are making Panoramas here folksss!!!!!
We also mentioned that this is dramatically easier to gain attention and a following with vs. posting your non-relevant business/service/product onto Instagram hoping to get attention from bots or people who don’t care.
Here we go over:
1. shoot raw
2. shoot panoramas
3. Shoot CONDITIONS
4. Slower shutter + sunset lighting for even tones instead of mid-day
5. Edit with adobe Lightroom - DON'T use the default jpg from DJI app with the Panorama photos.
Hope it helps, comment any other advice if you've got it (the really helpful kind)

I’ve been flying drones for about five years. On top of that I’ve been a photographer for about 20 years. But your suggestion about setting the drone to always take a large panoramic shot was just shocking to me - in a good way! I have taken panoramas when I needed a panorama but I never thought about taking a shot, of say a house, much closer and using the panorama in that way. Thank you for such a stunning aha!

[@Andmau2552]

Holy shit this gotta be one of the most straight foward and incredible real advice i've seen. Thanks deeply.

[@marco-qw7ie]

[@elongatedshrew5902]

@@Delta-gx4fm raw means no filters, straight out of the camera and no editing

[@DavidSumner]

@@Delta-gx4fm no one gave you a staight answer so i guess ill answer it. RAW is a file format for images like JPEG or GIF or PNG... RAW is just more capable becuase it collects more data from what the camera is seeing and allows you to make better edits. You shold take a crash course in phtoography, it helped me when i was in college.

Solid content. I second everything you said about Lightroom. I started using it at work a couple years ago just to learn it and try it out, and suddenly I was a wizard to all my coworkers. It is relatively easy to learn, and everything you need for the photos is right there. Panorama is great, too. I got some shots of a couple of the school campuses for college I work for, and they came out great. I need to find a better way to stitch the images, though, because there was some weird geometry with the center bottom images.

[@robandnell4305]

Wow, knocked my socks off. I have so much to learn. I use Davinci Rsolve 16--so I'm assuming I need to spend LOTS of time in the color mode to learn to make FANTASTIC video like yours!

[@RealRiders]

Been shooting landscapes for a while now, with a regular camera, on foot, like a pleb. What I've learned so far is to use ISO 100 (or less if lens allows it), F stop depends how much DoF you want. I don't know if you want a bokkeh effect when shooting panoramas so I think you are right to say in the middle might work best, F5-F7. I don't know how good the gimbals are (I use a tripod) so I am worried about the shutter speed in drones and not having the desired sharpness. Your pictures look great though.

Is that Lake Murray at 5:54? It's so surreal seeing your own backyard!

[@travisSimon365]

One of the best pieces of photography advice I have ever heard is that you should only ever share the best 10% of your work. And I think that only applies if you're a really good photographer - for the rest of us, it's more like the best 1%. Especially with digital, photos are cheap. Take tons and then delete all but the ten best. Then throw away another 5. And then maybe save two And then maybe the remaining ones are good enough to share?

[@QuickAssTutorials]

For me its share those final 2, then nobody cares, put out that 3rd place just for the heck of it. EVERYBODY wants to use the shot. I can never tell which will stick or what peoples fickle interests are they always switch but casting a medium net and making sure none of it sucks (recently) helps a lot. Particulars like conference venues, resorts, shopping malls or things like that also get bonus points because someone in marketing for these places will see it and at least THEY will like it haha

[@kylezindel314]

When you say 200$ an hour how do you charge people. Was it time spent out taking pictures, does it include editing?

[@sportturismo_4s]

Well it should. It should include getting to the place, actually shooting whatever you're shooting, driving back home, editing photos, etc etc

I am actually a walnut farmer but I do like carrots! I’m curious what your thoughts are on the Mavic drones with thermal cameras? I could see a use for them in agriculture to see where you have hotspots out in the field that lack water supply. Like the Enterprise Dual? but would the conventional camera have enough power to shoot RAW shots? Thanks for the quality content here on KZbin...

[@dunndada84]

I have few Questions, is the mavic air 2 good enough to make money with for real estate photos and videos or should I return it and just get the mavic 2 pro? Do you have any tutorials on how to edit in lightroom? I know its about the time you put in like it is with anything, but how long did it take you before you started to make money?

[@UnityProductionsAustralia]

[@QuickAssTutorials]

Jack Spade also a lot of what you see is from the Mavic. Not the panoramas but some other stills. It is also great at slow shutter speeds while the Mavic Pro 2 has weird grainy spots anywhere that’s dark :(

[@murdog04]

Just getting started (newly retired military vet). Would love to know your opinion of the DJI Mini 2 for a start? Looking to start shooting for real estate sales.

Hi, do you make your panoramas manual or with the automatic setting on the drone?

[@retroal]

What do you use to edit apple or windows pc ? Thanks Al

[@matscollin3194]

Stupid question, buut "Panorama" picture, does that mean just a nice well angled shot or do you need to use a special mode in the drone to add pictures on the sides?

[@KidIndia]

[@DNH17]

Hey, thanks for sharing these 2 videos, I d like to know if with a Dji Mini 2 I won't get anywhere with the suggestion you gave panoramic 9 stack pics etc or if to actually be serious I need to aim to another drone? I have incredible panormas here, there is pandemic so incredible pics could be shot ... Here rules are restrictive so basically the mini 2 would play a great job at stealing picture from anywhere ... "even from roofs"...

[@taniscotengco]

Do you charge for just flying time or flying time and editing time?

[@maciektruszczynski509]

Do you think it is reasonable to use Mavic Air 2 and make money on photo/video? Or only Pro 2?

[@casualgamer35]

this is what I have been looking for!! i just bought my first drone (mavic mini) and will work my way up to the more expensive ones. i think i heard you say you shoot in jpeg and edit in raw. so are you converting the file from jpeg to raw in lightroom?? if so could you do a vid on that process? thanks again!!

[@jlue0405]

no, set your drone so it shoots photos in RAW. This is because when you have RAW photos, you are able to edit more of the photo in lightroom. There's just more information in RAW than JPEG so you can adjust highlights, shadows, exposure, etc even more!

[@DNH17]

If u wanna work shoot in raw, raw is to edit pictures, if you are a photographer and edit pics in general you use raw, raw is used also in work like archaeology, cultural restoration etc..

[@janrehak852]

Hello, thank you for the useful info. Could you please let me know which monitor are you using for edits? thank you :)

I've got a 1440p Samsung 34 inch from amazon. I care more about the size than 1440 vs 4k, however at least 1440p makes a huge difference to me. I also don't like having two monitors, just one big one
