The Cooperative of Photography, better known as COOPH, has shared ‘Droneception,’ a quick tutorial video that breaks down how to create ‘mind-bending’ drone images using two-shot, three-shot and more advanced multi-shot methods.
The video is three-and-a-half minutes long with only visuals and text overlays for instructions, but it’s succinct and manages to effectively convey the steps required to get the shots and make the final compositions. These methods should work with nearly any drone, so whether you’re using the newest DJI or a few year old no-name brand, the magic happens with the creative thinking ahead of time and the post-processing done afterwards.
@Julian - Just using a tripod doesn't make panorama stitching perfect, nor is a tripod absolutely necessary for doing so, nor did I suggest that it would be. I specifically said 'blending technique' - which you conveniently ignored.
I'll talk to my guy at DJI and get them to enable an in-camera panorama sweep and stitch function, but only when the flying tripod is attached.. for stability.. haha.. oh man..
I didn't understand what you were trying to do, sorry. Seemed an awful lot of effort for something not very special. It might have been better if you had run the still photos first without a hint of what they were & how they were made, then only later explained how they were done.
1. I do agree with you re your last point...it's very common (and very effective) to show the final results first, and only then go into the "How to do..." parts. 2. I don't think the goal was to give us anything stunning. It's just a fun way to suggest to drone photographers to use our imaginations. By pre-planning what we shoot, we can create composite images that will (hopefully!!!) catch the attention of our audiences. If you're doing news reporting, then obviously you want to avoid intentional 'deception' like this. But using creativity and humor seems entirely appropriate in just about any other situation.
