Aerial photography, also known as aerial photography, aerial photography, or aerial photography, refers to taking pictures of the earth's landforms from the air to obtain a top view.


This picture is an aerial photo. Aerial cameras can be controlled by the photographer, or they can be shot automatically or remotely.


The platforms used for aerial photography include airplanes, helicopters, hot air balloons, small spacecraft, rockets, kites, parachutes, etc.


To stabilize aerial photos, advanced photography equipment such as Spacecam is sometimes used, which utilizes three-axis gyro stabilization to provide high-quality, stable images, even with long focal length lenses.


Aerial photographs can clearly express geographical forms, so in addition to being a part of photographic art, they are also used in military affairs, transportation construction, water conservancy projects, ecological research, urban planning, etc. After the 2010s, due to the popularity of multi-axis remote control aircraft, many amateur players carried out aerial photography activities.


In recent years, the popularity of aerial photography has led many enthusiasts to join the army of aerial photography, but most of them, don't know which places are suitable for aerial photography or whether it is forbidden to fly. Does anyone have a summary of domestic scenic spots suitable for aerial photography in different seasons?


1. Shenzhen Talent Park


As a landmark building in Shenzhen, there are many skyscrapers here, and the night light show is gorgeous and bright. It is the most popular annual Top1 aerial photography spot among flying enthusiasts.


2. Guangfulin Ancient Cultural Site


It has the reputation of "Underwater Museum". Looking down from the sky, the buildings seem to be submerged in the water. It is one of the best aerial photography spots in Shanghai.


3. Laojun Mountain View


As an "Internet celebrity" that exploded this year, Laojunshan Golden Palace is as beautiful as a palace in the sky after snow. Pay attention to strong winds and signals when flying here. In addition, please pay attention to keeping the battery warm in low-temperature weather. Remember to warm up before takeoff.


4. Panorama of Canton Tower


Guangzhou's "Small Waist" is one of the must-see attractions. But it is not an easy task to take a panoramic view of it. The No. 1 Cigarette Factory is a treasure location where you can take a panoramic view of the Canton Tower.


In addition, choosing a good aerial photography machine is also very important. Here are some recommendations.


1. Entry level


There are only 2 models available, DJI Mini SE and Mini 2, both of which weigh less than 250 grams and do not need to register on the official website of CAAC. The flight performance of the two models is almost the same, but there is a big difference in the image transmission scheme and shooting performance. Mini SE is purely entry-level, supports 2.7k video shooting, uses WiFi image transmission, and can be played in a small area at close range.


2. Advanced class


DJI Air 2S or DJI Mavic Air 2, Air 2 has a lighter body than Air 2S. In terms of aircraft flight configuration, Air 2 only has obstacle avoidance in three directions: front, rear, and down. It uses O2 image transmission, while Air The 2S has obstacle avoidance in four directions: front, back, up, and down, and uses the updated O3 image transmission.


3. Quasi-professional level


Undoubtedly the DJI Mavic 3. Hasselblad lens + telephoto lens, dual lens combination, Hasselblad lens 4/3 inch outsole, can fly for 46 minutes, image transmission distance up to 15 kilometres, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance.
