Do you have any additional aerial photography tips? Comment below!

[@IndyAerialDronePhotographyLLC]

Love watching tips and seeing others perspective. Its how a freelancer builds. The more you learn and get forced out of your comfort everything starts to become easier.

[@ZOB4]

That shot looking straight down over Columbus Circle is complete madness.

[@davidalanmedia]

Gorgeous shots Paul!

[@JohnOlson-hx3vt]

Get a drone so you know the weather when you take off. Lol Great tips I am a 107 certified drone pilot so my views are shaded.

[@jeffkatz101]

Any tips for photographing rooftops?

[@EYEBALLKLOTT]

U go thru Disney here, driver. I noted from your A-peak.

[@AkashNayee]

Love this video but man I'm torn!
I have one body with 3 lens choice, 15-35mm F/2.8, a 70-200mm F/2.8 or a 24-105mm F/4, from the sounds of it it seems like 24-105 will be my best bet but will have to make some compromises!

[@JVNJ09]

Hi.....If I brought my RF 100--500 lens on the helicopter ride in Hawaii do you see any negative issues with this lens? Appreciate the information!

[@oleg.2743]

Manual focus I suppose!

I am flying on Tuesday in NYC at 1 PM .it suppose to be sunny .. I have a XT 3 ....I have the fuji XF 16-80 mm ...what should be my setting ?? I am worry the most about my shutter speed .

[@BandH]

Know your target. Settings can be difficult because every day, every flight, every time is different. You want to use a low ISO, but a fast enough shutter speed so you will have some play with aperture. For a sunny day, Paul likes to start out at f/9 with an ISO between 100 and 400, depending upon the time of day and how much detail he needs in the shadows. The wild card then becomes the shutter. >Mark

I have a canon eos rebel t7 with the lens’s 18-55mm & 70-300mm. I’m going at sunset in the beginning of May. I’m new to all of this and was wondering what you’d suggest. I’ll be flying with flynyon. Idk if you’re familiar, but… mine is doors off, and I’m just kinda trying to figure out what to bring. I was thinking both phone and body but idk if that’s something they’ll approve of I’ll have to email them

[@ijyoyo]

Hope it went well!

[@nicolefrances.c]

[@nicolefrances.c]
