Drone Landscape Photography Tips and Techniques | DJI Mavic Pro Tutorial

[@BorisEkner]

At last, a still photographer’s unique best use of a drone. Thank you! ❤️

[@RichieW]

Blew my own socks off with my first AEB HDR picture with no photography experience and only a week of owning my new Mavic. I have no business making pictures that look good enough for a magazine but here we are. Great vid! deffo incorporate this advise into my growing arsenal.

[@ibrahimbinali5683]

Your previsualization on the scene that you've taken shows that you've very sharp mind that able to see the beauty of any landscape that many others may not able to see beyond a plain landscape that doesn't have anything to impress at first sight. Some may have the best tools in photography or videography but do not have an eye and mind like yours will be ashamed. I'm ashamed and thank for the eye opening presentation. Bravo!

[@alangardiner872]

Lovely in many aspects of that word...the informative values, the narrative and for once..Music that enhances and doesn't destroy a video!! 10/10..Thank you.

[@MattFreestonePictures]

Somehow only just caught up with this. A superb video, beautifully shot. Thank you, Andrew. Hoping to put some of these techniques to use in my drone films.

[@petermcilroy5742]

Really enjoyed this - has opened my eyes to the fact you can use a drone for "proper" landscape photography. Incredibly helpful to show us how you refine your settings as you go.

[@pawem8419]

that Road hitting the coast in that angle is just perfect, great video

[@andrewfrost8866]

I find your films so beautifully crafted, and that, together with your intelligent, informative, and passionate presentation, makes then a true ‘must see’ experience.

[@Andrew_marr]

Wow that's so kind of you to say Andrew. Thank you for share your comment, that really means a lot!

[@geoffedwards7056]

Good 'features' analysis and showing how these features change the final result of capturing the subject at it's best.

[@timwilliams1873]

Andrew, I am very new at drone flight and have now caught the fever to learn more about using my drone to catch landscape shots. I have always had that hidden passion for photography. I have found your video very helpful and look forward to learning more from you and your blogs.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Tim, welcome to the fantastic world of photography. I am so glad you've found my videos helpful. I have plenty more planned for the new year, so stay tuned. If there anything specific you want to learn, let me know, and I try and cover it in a video. Thanks again for sharing your story, cheers! :)

[@JoselDuran]

One of the best drone photography video I have seen so far. Thank you for your tips.

[@davidthomas670]

Hi Andrew, absolutely superb, not only is your photography superlative, but your video's are crammed full of information and so good to watch, you are definitely the best channel on KZbin because you give so much and expect nothing in return so thank you.

[@pixlplague]

The areal shot at 14:35 is soooo sharp! Fantastic mate!

[@peterhewitson71]

Thanks again for another great video , I have a mavic pro I brought second hand and after seeing you videos I can't wait to get out there and give photography a go rather than just footage for my normal videos .

[@philiptheodhor8305]

Very thoughtfully as well as tastefully produced. one of the best drone videos ever ! Your work made me want to subscribe to the channel straightaway ! Thanks ever so much !

[@Firstmanphotography]

Great video Andrew with some really helpful tips and insight. A pleasure to watch. You’ve also inspired me to take more drone landscapes. Think I’ll give it a try today. Lovely shots too, that coastline looks like a dream.

[@Gingerolliephotography]

Thanks for the video is a great help 👍🏻

[@GBarchy]

Great video Andrew. I've not used my Mavic Pro for still photographs, but think after watching your video I am not using it to its full ability. I'm heading out in about 20 minutes (after my phone charges up) and will give it a go.

[@davo577]

Awesome video thanks! the little tips for dealing with the bright aussie sun are great!

[@adampapworth]

Your fresh approach to this video made it stand out from the many similar videos i watch. Thanks.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much cheaper Adam for your kind feedback, I hope to make another video soon, cheers!👍

[@parrotheadstx]

One of the best, if not the best drone photography video tutorials I've watched. Thank you. 🤙

[@markharris4022]

You really know stuff and the way you put together this video definitely says a lot about you and your esthetic. It was an honor to watch.

[@TheOldGeekGuy]

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I still have the Magic Pro and use it often. I will follow some of your suggestions.

[@Alvinaarnoutsephotography]

Wonderfull images and tips . I will use your tips and techniques . Thanx

[@robertl.4675]

Beautiful images and very well-explained. I like your style... straight forward, calm, no hype! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

[@KOTW.Adventures]

Thanks for a great video. Came here via WA Camping's channel and was not disappointed. Will definitely be checking out more of your photography videos.

[@davidmaltby2065]

Brilliant and informative. As a new drone owner this was super informative. Just completed a sunset with my drone

[@ronmele6785]

Great video....can’t wait to try your settings and techniques the next time I take my drone out.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Ron, great to hear the video was helpful. Best of luck with it all mate!

[@adrianshipley2026]

Fantastic tips and footage, well done. Just got drone and intend to take photos and videos

[@michaelfuller4905]

Absolutely fantastic Andrew I have just got my mavic pro and am learning your video's really help thank you

[@Andrew_marr]

Great to hear Michael, thanks for your comment. The Mavic Pro is a great drone, I've just recently released an updated video that you might want to check out! 👍

[@draupne]

Great video! Just bought my first Mavic Pro and this video helped me a lot! Thanks. :)

[@johnirvine5514]

I've just discovered your channel, Andrew. I have been keen on photography ever since I was a boy (long time ago!), but only recently I bought a drone and started to use a flying camera. I love the fun of flying and the new perspectives it provides for capturing images. Many thanks for this video - I thoroughly enjoyed it and I plan to watch more of your postings. Best wishes, John.

[@davidfitz-henley7915]

As a trained professional award-winning landscape photographer, I found your video to offer lots of excellent tips and great advice. Thanks a lot. Keep up the great work. David Fitz-Henley (Jamaica)

[@Andrew_marr]

Great to hear David! Glad you found the video informative. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

[@Grippygripster1]

Great video mate, excellent use of the nice light.

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Ian, I'm glad you enjoyed that!

[@RachelSarahM]

Great video Andrew! My DJI arrived today and I am so excited to take it out in The Lakes. Beautiful photos.

[@jermaineperkins4765]

This was a beautiful video and very informative. I’m super grateful for the info

[@Andrew_marr]

You're welcome Jermaine. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

[@dychui]

Thank you for this incredibly helpful video. Your footage is an inspiration!

[@markrmonteith]

Enjoyed this - using the DJI Mini 3 Pro now!

[@Shtofman]

You are the first person I have ever seen point out the ability to adjust the gimbal roll to straighten a horizon for stills, bravo sir!!! 👍👏

[@chrismwhite]

Some fantastic shots. It does, as you say, give a whole new perspective.

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

Really nice Andrew! I've been flying a Mavic Pro for almost 2 years, mostly for agriculture use and did not know it shoots RAW. I have never ventured into the camera settings menu. As soon as I saw this video I realized I'm not using all the camera's potential. I can not wait until my next flight so I can start utilizing those features. So glad I saw this video....Thanks.

[@eleeadams]

Excellent tips. Infinite number of vantage points with drones. Battery issues. Can’t always wait as long as you’d like for the light. But wonderful results!

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Ed, with infinite number of vantage points it can be a challenge to decide on the best composition. Alway good to have a few batteries charged and ready to go! 👍

[@peterfritzphoto]

Glad I found you, Andrew. I'm down in Melbourne, and you've inspired me to continue shooting images from the air. After crashing two Mavic Air 2's in as many weeks, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the Air 2S (hopefully this Friday)!

[@Andrew_marr]

Hey Peter, welcome to the channel mate, thanks for subscribing and checking out the videos. The Air 2S, looks like an awesome drone, I think it might have the same sensor as the Mavic 2 Pro, which is pretty cool. Good luck! 👍

[@peterfritzphoto]

@@Andrew_marr Thanks, Andrew. Just tried the Air 2S down the Otways today. It’s definitely a step up from the Air 2. I need to get to the Outback, though. Went to Silverton a year ago but was drone-less at the time. Really enjoying your work, mate. Thanks for the warm welcome. 🙂

[@timwadedah2292]

Stumbled across this video, what great content. And filmed in god's back yard of WA. Legend.

[@darrenbooker9438]

Fantastic video Andrew, thanks for sharing your tips on drones, well done mate!

[@MichaelFollan]

Fantastic video and timely for me as I practice with my Mavic Air. Thank you

[@DCDLaserCNC]

Great tips and awesome photo compositions! Thanks for sharing!

[@Andrew_marr]

No worries, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the feedback on the images. It's a beautiful location to fly and take photos! :)

[@romulusempire2425]

Thank You For those Remarkable Drone Videos

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Romulus! :)

[@edgardofaro8622]

Very informative and in details. Thank you very much.

[@Andrew_marr]

Glad it was helpful Edgardo, Cheers mate! :)

[@Seluilaendrone]

Hi buddy! I appreciate your tutorial... there is two things i ´ve learned... first... i can set my camera even it is in the air... second feel the nature, feel the sun, and take your time... really helpfull Bro!

[@Happy_Snapper]

That AEB shot, you got me -new subscriber

[@ArtOfDavidAmos]

That was a beautiful video Andrew, well done, one of the best and simplest, and straight to the point. I have the Phantom 3, but I am having a nightmare just keeping the video signal. Even when it's not that far away, I shoot real estate, and lately, it has been just a nightmare. I have searched everywhere on how to fix this.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much for your kind comments and feedback. I haven't had an issue with the signal on the Mavic Pro, I hear the signal of the Mavic 2 Pro is even better.

[@GaryMaddockGreene]

Great work Andrew. Really appreciate your insight, technical explanations and technique tips. Thanks for sharing your craft.

[@Andrew_marr]

No worries Gary, thanks for leaving you comment, appreciate the feedback mate!

[@Dulmenfoto]

Thank you Andrew for super tips ! You are the best !

[@larrymarshallphotography3896]

As a fellow landscaper photographer, this video is invaluable. thanks so much

[@CesarGarcia-uz5pv]

Amazing man very inspiring might consider doing that

[@David_Keith]

Thanks for a great video Andrew, this is the first time I've seen the drone used for stills!

[@stephanepost]

That’s funny! I have yet to use mine for filming! :-P

[@stephenhartphotography5855]

Great videography. I enjoyed the vlog Andrew.

[@seandefreitas1874]

Very inspiring video. Has given me some tips for stills using AEB on my M2P in Tassie. Many thanks.

[@endyX286]

awesome video. thanks for the tips. learning is never ending.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Fendi, I'm working on a follow up video with the drone, it should be out in the next couple of weeks.

[@danielbowser8695]

my first video ive seen of yours Andrew, i appreciate it. thanks

[@stevemathis4159]

Great video. I don’t have a drone but really enjoy the videos. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@timohendriks183]

great tutorial. and brings back my memory my vist sugar loaf rock. thank you!

[@HorasOciosas]

really good tips, thanks for sharing! keep up the good shots!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much for that, glad it was helpful! 👍

[@moorey21]

Mate that was awesome, as a local to the Sth West and owner of the same drone I loved every minute of it. I really need to start getting out and getting some shots

[@oldgitwithnewtech2124]

Fantastic pictures I mainly shoot video but you have made me want to shoot Pictures now!

[@4k_AZ]

Underrated content. 10/10

[@Andrew_marr]

Haha, just a little channel chugging along. Thanks for the feedback and encouragement.

[@leannegeisler1263]

Great video Andrew. I have only just received my Mavic Pro and am looking forward to getting out there with it and taking some amazing shots like yours. Thanks for your information on how to use.

[@terrymiller1228]

Nice informative video. I'm new to drones but the photography/video aspect is what peek my interest.

[@allangosling6134]

Hi Andrew Happy New Year. I have just bought Mavic Pro2 and smart controller, slowly working my way through the large learning curve. Thank you very much for detailed insight to landscape photography.

[@Andrew_marr]

Congrats on your new purchase Allan, not only do you have some learning, but you have a heap of fun ahead of you...enjoy! 👍

[@johnkelm1764]

Great video Andrew. Makes me want to purchase a drone even more now. Informative tips and a great location as well. Thanks!!

[@cathyann1601]

I want to get a drone for stills, so this video is very timely. Excellent!

[@moondawn1000]

Thanks Andrew for another great vlog, your images are excellent as usual.

[@lenorawillis-photonobics4182]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great photos!

[@lonschultz-coastalscaerial7467]

Excellent video. Going to use bracketing on my next flight with Phanthom 4 Pro. Keep up the great work.

[@wza360]

Great video. I love how techniques shared. Enjoyed watching, got good ideas. Thanks.

[@jcinaz]

I’ve had my drone for almost a year and never knew what it could really do until now. Guess I just have to knuckle down and start learning. Thanks.

[@overlandphotography]

Very good Andrew !... tks for sharing

[@helenagustavsson5633]

Thanks for all tihe tips! Amazing photos. I am in the process of buying my first drone.

[@brettkri9866]

Hi Andrew, I'm going to go to Canada and Alaska for 27 days and I really won't to get some great (well I hope they will be) I'm going to use my Mavic Pro and my wife Catherine, will be using her iPhone 6. She has beaten me every time so far. I will look into you previous tuits cause I love the way you about your profession and the way you explain so a fool like me can understand what's going on. thanks your a gem

[@Dhathuruveri.Zuvaana]

Thank you Andrew. Learned so many things

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that, I'm hoping to follow this up with an updated version soon!

[@SoundsandImages]

Fantastic imagery and tips. Beautiful spot too. Best wishes to you Andrew, hope the D850 is still shaping up nicely for you.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that, it's an amazing area, with so many landscape opportunities. The D850 is never to far away from my side! :)

[@Colin06R1]

Great video. Would love to see more of these drone videos from this channel.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for your comment, I include drone images occasionally in some of my other videos, but I'll make sure I do so more often! :)

[@bradsgold345]

Thank you Andrew for your time and insights you so generously share. Yes I am new to having this wonderful tool a Mavic Air. Your videos are truly inspiring. Thanks

[@walt5594]

Very informative-Nice work

[@rudeboys01]

I had no idea that a Mavic could take photos this amazing!!! Thanks for making this video

[@Darren-Green]

I spent many years shooting stills and just a 'hint' of GoPro footage. Only just ordered my first drone today (Mavic Pro2) so watching loads of KZbin about it of course. You shots are so simply done but thanks to the thought and attention to the details and lighting they come out stunning. I have just subscribed.

[@RiggersUK]

Great video and nice tips. The only thing you didn’t mention which I feel is really important was about switching to portrait mode and stitching. I would ALWAYS do this. Take you first shot for example.... if you turn to portrait mode then take 2 or 3 shots and stitch them together you overcome the fact the mavic only has a 12mp sensor. You can still bracket each of these shots. When in LR first convert each batch of 5 bracketed shots to HDR then when you have 3 HDR dng’s you stick these together in LR as a pano. This gets you a much higher res image.

[@RiggersUK]

*stitch*

[@DragonAquarius]

I like your work! I too am partial to landscapes.

[@shaniawlfgrl]

Wonderful Andrew! Thank you!! Can you please start posting what music you are using also when showing your beautiful landscapes. Thanks!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Excellent tips, Andrew! Funny I don't use my drone for photography very often. I initially purchased a drone for that purpose but seem to use it more for video. Lovely location!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Adam, yeah I still use my Mavic more for video than stills. I love the perspective it can add to a vlog. I get so disappointed when I can't flying it because of the wind or restrictions in the area. Have you ever used your drone to help to scout out a location, I imagine it could be helpful in some of those thick wooded area you explore.

[@hartleygabolinscy3152]

Wow!!! This channel has a very cool vibe and fab information for every detail. Well done. ( new subby) Best happiness from nz. 👍🌏👍 Waiting for the book, lol. 😊😊😊

[@HanaBilqisthi]

Great tips 😍😍👍Thank you so much for sharing 😍😍😍

[@Bionic_Rob]

Thanks Andrew, love your work. Beautiful scenes and photographs.

[@myeyes2urs340]

Thank you for your wise words of information, heading on holiday in 2 weeks, wasn't going to bring my mavic but now im gonna give it a bash, thanks mate

[@Andrew_marr]

Excellent, glad this was helpful, all the best for the trip!

[@hurch1975]

I thought I recognised that beautiful coastline! Thanks for a great video Andrew, Cape Naturaliste is one of my favourite places in the world and with restrictions lifted, it’s time to take the Mavic Zoom South! Cheers - Paul from Madeley

[@Andrew_marr]

Glad you enjoyed it Paul, thanks mate. With the restrictions easing, I've just heading back down there myself for a landscape shoot!

[@harrypoepjes8976]

Awesome video great pics ,was down there a year ago nearly lost my drone was very windy. You have inspired me to try harder to get pics like yours. Thanks Harry

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for comment Harry, I had a similar experience near Dunsborough, I was out following whales and then when I turned round to come back, I was fighting the offshore winds...it was a very scary moment! All the best for your next flight, hope you get out there soon, mate!

[@AdrianW.Photography]

Outstanding video. Great tips. No drone, yet. My next major purchase so this was most timely.

[@scotty4418]

What a great episode Andrew and the images were brilliant. Always loved how you use your drone to maximum effect and have watched the end of your Iceland series a few times as the drone sequence in that was epic. A drone is on my list after I pick up a 16-35mm lens for my new camera.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that Jim, glad you enjoy the drone footage. I love flying the Mavic Pro and when editing the footage I still get a buzz out of the perspective and view it provides. Iceland is amazing, I don't think anyone could take a bad landscape shot in that place. Exciting times with a drone on the cards, plus the Mavic Pro 2 evidently isn't too far away! :)

[@ScottEGrainger]

I really enjoyed your video. Gorgeous area you shot. I have 2 Inspire 1’s with an X3 and X5 along with a P4P. I have to get out more for sure. I’m now a new sub. Look forward to seeing what’s next. Take care

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for your comment Scott, that's a fantastic line up of drones and drone cameras. However, get out can be the toughest part of this great pursuit! :)

[@ScottEGrainger]

I hear you there. No excuses. I went yesterday and shot video. In the morning I’m going to the beach.

[@maureeensebastian]

Thanks for this video! It has been helpful to me. I have a Mavic Pro as well. I’ll try to apply what I’ve learned in this vid very soon :)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Maureen, the Mavic Pro is an excellent drone and performs incredibly in most conditions. Best of luck, when you take some photos let me know where you share them online so I can check them out! :)
