In this post I share with you five drone shots that will help make your drone footage look more professional and cinematic.
Not only will I share with you how to do them, I will also share the why which most videos and articles miss.
That way you can gain both a skill and some knowledge on the subject.
If you tend to put your drone up in the air, then struggle with what to do next or if you just randomly shoot around filling up your memory card with no clear goal in mind then this tutorial is for you.
Check out my video tutorial below or read all about how to do it after the jump!
In this drone tutorial you’ll learn the answers to the following questions:
- How to make your drone shots more cinematic and engaging
- How to make your drone shots look more professional
- How to do the reveal drone shot and why
- How to do the tilt reveal drone shot and why
- How to do the top down drone shot and why
- How to do the orbit drone shot and why
- How to do the tilt while tracking drone shot and why
- Plus some ideas on how to make each shot even more dynamic
I believe that mastering these moves will take your drone shots to the next level. I will also say that you can try doing these while using Intelligent Flight modes but ideally it’s best to master these manually. So let’s get started.

The Year’s Top 30 Drone Photos
In 2017 there were over 400,000 photos tagged with #fromwhereidrone on social media and I am excited to share that this year there are now over 900,000 photos!
In honor of this huge milestone, I’ve compiled the top 30 most beautiful, dynamic, creative and engaging drone photos of 2018 from the #fromwhereidrone community.
This list came about based on several engagement and community factors for photos that were posted to the @fromwhereidrone social channels, like how much a photo was liked, commented on, bookmarked and shared by others on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I did this using stat information websites Iconosquare & Socialbakers.
Thanks to these amazing drone photographers and the thousands of others on Instagram that use the #fromwhereidrone hashtag every day to share their drone work and inspire us all to new heights!
Quick note, I specifically linked to the drone pilot’s Instagram handle so that you can easily follow them and check out their entire profile. So please take advantage of that and show them some love! :)
I can’t wait to see what you all create in 2019! So don’t forget to tag your work with #fromwhereidrone!

Printing Tips: How to Convert Your Drone Photos to Printable Files
This is a special guest post done in collaboration with Kara Murphy, known as @karaemurphy online.
The Holiday season is upon us. If you’ve learned how to create extraordinary drone photos, and consistently receive encouraging feedback, a print of your work is a stellar idea for a unique gift.
More people are taking to online platforms and setting up their own print shops to capitalize on peak consumer demand. If you’re interested in transforming a digital image into a tangible product, read on.
I picked up a drone for the very first time in June 2014 and was instantly hooked. The ability to capture a unique aerial perspective opened up a whole new realm of creative expression that continues to energize me to no end.
While I was moderately successful as a photographer and landed a few high-profile gigs working for major music festivals, no one had ever asked to buy an actual print of my work. As a result, I became accustomed to preparing photos for online outlets.
