Exposure, aperture, white balance, ISO, gimbal pitch speed, ND filters…all of these factors affect the overall quality of photographs and video captured with a drone. It is paramount that your UAS pilot not only be skilled in piloting his or her drone safely, but also possess the photographic skills to collect the high quality shots you need to enhance your real estate listing.

Much of these skills take years to get proficient at, and a good photographer never stops learning. From my own experience in being an amateur astrophotographer, I can attest to the trial and error that is involved in getting “the perfect shot.”

At the end of the day, the drone and camera system are a sophisticated tool. It is up to the photographer / artist to make sure the photographs and video are desirable and marketable.
