- In this video I share some awesome tips and techniques as a landscape photographer to get better shots with your drone. The DJI Mavic is an awesome drone and can shoot awesome photos but it isn't just about settings but about light, composition and subject. I share some ideas for improving your images as well as how I edit my drone shots in Lightroom. And the best drone photography settings to get a great shot.

I am just starting my Drone journey, initially thought about using it on holidays....but now after watching this informative video from Nigel i feel inspired....exciting times...
Thanks Nigel, really love your passion and approach to this. I find that colour grading and trying to get the right shot is hard with drones at the moment but your easy approach and simple tips have really made me want to give it another shot! Thank you!
As a new drone pilot/photographer I appreciate your insights on the technical side of the photos. I look forward to getting a better handle on the camera settings for my Mavic Pro Platinum. It took sharp pictures right out of the box and naturally I went to TH-cam to get suggested settings and now get real soft out of focus photos. I need to get back to a factory setting and just play with composition and using the natural light for enhancements. I look forward to learning from what you have to share.
Somehow I've only just caught up with this. Another brilliant tutorial, Nigel. Many thanks. Looking to put some of these techniques to good use in my photography and drone films.
I like your video very much. I have an Mavic but all the snow in the Swedish montains have stopped me from experiments.
Earlier I had interest in photos from natures with my Nikon but after your video I think I can combine my interest. Thanks Nigel
Thanks for this video. You've taught me more with this video than countless other photography channels ever have. All practical information for things I'm actually going to use every day. Even explaining the 4:3 over 16:9. Other people just say "Use 4:3 because it's the best" and leave it at that. You actually explained WHY! Made my day dude. Thanks.
OMG this video is AMAZING, you not just shared tips and techniques but you just explained some settings in the LR that i didn't know how to use. Thank you :)
ND your stuff is right on point. Went out and shot some really awesome photos. what a difference your tips have made. Thanks HJC
Spot on with everything you said. Especially about stumbling on something great you would of never seen from the ground, that has happened to me a lot with the mavic
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks man!! Awesome job on this video!
16 min of golden information..thanks Nigel
Amazing video Nigel, thanks so much, that's really helpful! Love from Greece!
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing Nigel!
Loads of food for thought here Nigel, particularly in terms of perspective and viewpoint. A drone is very much on my wish list and its moved up a couple of places after watching your great VLOG!! Would love to see more of your drone shots in the future please. Huge thanks for sharing and keep 'em coming please Nigel.
+tim scanlan thanks Tim
Hey, Nigel, The past 18 months I believe I've seen all of your videos. Some, I've watched a second time, and several have been referred to a couple of my photo friends. Some feedback: I'm "good" enough that I know the kinds of information you share about lens choices, tripods, filters, shutter speeds/apertures, what to do/what not to do, etc. What I enjoy most is the segments where you approach an area and talk to us about what you see and how you will address it as you factor in light, weather, wind, or too-busy or chaotic settings. (I truly envy those foggy days and gnarly, mossy trees you feature periodically. Those are rare in the U.S. Rockies.) I think most of us experienced landscape shooters benefit from hearing how someone else solves the challenges or chooses the compositions. Last, as my back and leg issues complicate my plans for long hikes and rugged, steep terrain, I've been thinking more about drone photography. I always note the drone work you intersperse with your walking and site overviews. I won't ask you to mention specific gear (unless you're free to) but what basic parameters (sensor type, size, maker, controls, range, etc.) would you suggest to someone who wants to make very good still photos and print, up to 20"x30" size? Last, I see that you frequently fly over deep ravines, off a coast line, or over rivers. Do you control them only within line of sight or can they be managed over a ridge or around an outcropping? Have you ever lost a drone and been unable to rescue/retrieve it? Thanks.
Thanks for sharing all these pro tips with us common folk. You my sir are a master of the trade!!!
thanks for the tips, looking forward to using them.Great work
Your vids are so damned good, I can't wait to watch more! Excellent and inspiring! Can't wait to get out there! Good work Nigel!
simply marvelous tutorial for seriously important topic: drone's photography. thank you Nigel
Thank you for this great video, I learned so much.
Wow, very informative! You are a good story teller and I love the detailed advice give you for the settings in the drone and how to tweak things in Lightroom. Excellent! The photos are beautifully merged into the video. I am now going to try out drone landscape photography!
Great video Nigel, love the way you edited the pano. Brilliant. Makes me want to grab my Mavic right now and go out and shoot.
Absolutely fantastic tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks Nigel. Great content as per usual. The "Go and use it more" comment has really resonated with me. Thank you squire.
Excellent video. Thanks Nigel!
Thank you for this! It's exactly what I was looking for. Great photos to back it up too. ;)
Love the editing part, thank you for the video!
Nigel your video is very useful to understand the settings on the Mavic and then correctly develop the RAW files. Thanks for the amazing job you've done!
Thanks a lot!
I've watched lots of videos/tutorials about drone photography but yours is up there! Subscribed!
Thanks for this video Nigel! It was very helpful! your pictures
are amazing|
I agree with you on the drone photography. Thank! Nigel...,
Great Tips. Thank you for such great content.
The fog under the bridge.. beautiful 👍
Hey Nigel great informative videos. I'm new to drone photography and I am totally enjoying and feel like it has opened a massive door for my photography and like you said compositions are easy to create. Been shooting normal on the ground for 20+ yrs and a drone offers a different perspective.
you are a great teacher nigel, thank you !
Excellent work Nigel,great stuff......the images are fantastic pal
+John Ferry cheers John!
Thank you very much for this "pano" idea with the drone! amazing content!!! :)
And a m a z i n g photos!
Thanks for videos great shots, thanks for the info. This will help me out I am just a beginner with videos and pictures.
Great stuff , always learning new things
Thanks Nigel for sharing this and a little bit of Lightroom!
At last an informative Drone vid. Perfect as I’m getting one next week from Santa. Thanks Nigel
Top notch video mate. Definitely going to try some photography with my Mavic!
Thank you for this awesome tips Nigel... have a great day...
A very timely video Nigel I have just bought my first drone. Only flown it twice so far and I'm still being a little careful until I become more proficient but its a great tool and a lot of fun
+Peter Biggin it is scary at the start but you will be soon buzzing it everywhere! Fly safe!
Your video is great, thank you so much for explaining in simple word how to use the drone for great photo.
Great tutorial...thanks for creating and sharing
Another good video Nigel! Drones are a fantastic new tool for landscape photographers as cameras and technology is improving.
+Patric Arvidsson certainly are! Love them
great video! i just picked up the dji spark cant wait to see what i can add to my portfolio with it.
Many thanks for your video Nigel. It was really interesting to confirm some of the sets to my Mavic. Thanks for your suggestions. Regards from Chile.
Ditto Nigel I’ve done exactly the same some really good photos to be had, great Video again Nigel
Great compositions.. and thanks for sharing
Enjoyed that Nigel, need to get myself a Mavic soon. Far too often I leave the phantom behind due to its bulkiness
+Alyn Wallace I had a phantom with GoPro and never used it - the mavic has changed my use incredibly- well worth it!
I had a P3 and I was in the same boat as you. Bought the Mavic and now it comes with me all the time! It's about the same size as a 24-70 f/2.8 so fits nicely into a camera back.
Yup that's it exactly, something you can chuck in your bag day-to-day! As well as not having to screw on bloody props *countdown payday*
Alyn Wallace the Spark is worth considering too. Even more portable.
@@NigelDanson Hi ISO does not cause noise (but f/Stop & shutter do!)

Wow, really enjoyed your video, thank you!
+BR Cook thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video, Nigel!
Thank you!
It is very instructiv.
Amazing images Nigel from a beautiful part of the country
Just what i needed! Thanks :)
You make a good point in utilizing the mavic not just for its video capabilities but for landscape photography as well. I'm going to give it a go! Thx! Great content.
Great inspiration - thanks a lot. By the way your dog reminds me so much of my own Jack Russell. Not so much the look but more the behaviour.. He always has a busy schedule digging for the mice..
Crazy 🐶
That was a really helpful video and I've learnt a number of useful tips. Thanks!
Very helpful! Thank you!!
Brilliant tutorial, thanks
man i really like your channel this is the first video i watched and im looking forward to seeing more
Great info! Thank you!
Loved this Nigel ! Didn't think you could get such amazing images from a drone ! I'll have to get one soon ! Keep the great content coming !
+Alan Lamont yep! It is awesome!!!
I couldn't agree more about the straight down perspective with drone photography.
Just about every other video I've seen on the subject highly recommends it, but to me it's a really niche technique that should be used extremely sparingly, particularly if your goal is good landscape photography.
Thanks for the input & information.
Thanks for the kind words
Really helpful video Nigel! Am thinking of taking the plunge into Drone photography as i find myself often wishing i could get a higher perspective in certain situations. Great video and images! keep them coming! Thanks Liam
+ryan mc c thanks - appreciate the kind words
Well done - I learned a lot
Thanks Nigel! I've been considering a drone for many of the same reasons and your video certainly brought me closer to a purchase. Like and sub for you today, thanks for sharing!
clear and calm explanation. Thanks

Great video. Drone photography is a game changer. Like you said, it gives you 360 degree access to a scene. I got my first drone 6 months ago, a DJI Mini 3 Pro. Loved it so much I recently got the Mavic 3 Pro. Thanks for sharing.
Aweosme tips and technique indeed... thank you so much Nigel... subscribed.
Looks like i really need to get lightroom to start doing some photography or rather do it far better, thanks for the tips i find picture set up and manipulation the hardest thing to learn
Great tips Nigel. Lots to learn about Drone Photography - you have helped fast track it for me, thank you.
Thanks Brent!
Great video Nigel and what a beautiful area!
Well done. thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial mate ❤️👍🙏
Awesome video! thanks
Great just bought the Bebop 2 fpv. Iove it so much
Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to share your experience, settings, and beautiful photography! I'm a new fan, and I also have a Mavic. Just starting to learn. I really have a passion for aerial photography and I hope to be able to make money....somehow, doing just that. Have a blessed week, and thanks again!!!
Thanks John - appreciate that
Great work. Beautiful photos
Nice video and info about drone photo Nigel. Drone photo is really fun.
+Johan Lisspers thanks
Hi Nigel... I am very happy your video popped out of nowhere... you have brilliant eye and I found so many similarities in your style comparing to mine.. lol.. meaning I understand completely what you are talking about. I have very similar view. I just few my spark first time ever... and I am now totally hooked. I want to try more photography with it... after 13 years taking of photos on the ground it is time to take it to new levels.. heights... :):):) keep up the great works. Your photos are STUNNING..
Fantastic tutorial. I'm amazed by the detail from the sensor on that drone. Lets hope for some better weather so I can get out and shoot.
Thank you so much! I love your tutorials! I think that I have to use my drone more often….
Great video and some good tips which I have been doing those for a while. The great thing about the Mavic is you can put the camera in portrait mode which makes for great pano's.
I did a 12 shot pano on the isle of Harris stitched and cropped it to 3x1 and printed on A2 I have it framed on the wall the detail is amazing nobody who looks at it would say drone shot except for the view point which gives it away.
+Chris Newham thanks Chris
This the first vlog I’ve watched that I totally engaged with, on landscape photography and aerial photography spot on and really useful information, also very temped at your workshops
+NicholasEJones thanks a lot Nicholas! If you have any questions drop me an email at nigel@dansons.co.uk 👍
Outstanding!
I just stumbled on this older video but couldn't help but comment on that photo at the beginning of the silhouetted person in the mountain-scape. It's such a cool picture! Thanks for the inspiration!
Excellent tips, very generous for sharing so much knowledge!
Many thanks
Great vlog. Thanks for the tips.
thanks! great video.
Beautiful aerials! Super helpful. You’ve got a new subscriber. Cheers from one pilot to another 🍻🍻🚀
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I really like your voice and accent by the way! You are a good teacher!
Thanks a lot 😃
It just dawned on me about my composition is the part with the viaduct, if i was on location i wouldn’t know how i would critique my own composition on the spot to get your image. I said it like that because i feel that your composition of the viaduct is really strong and very refined for that location and for that atmosphere.
thanks for these tips
Excellent !! Advice i will use!
Thank you for sharing this Nigel, this is gold man! Do ND Filters create noise in your photos?
Hello Nigel! Very nice video - Thank you. I am going to buy the new Mavic Air and will try to make some nice rain forest and nature photos around our hotel with it in Costa Rica. Your beautiful photos with the morning light and the mist where a big inspiration for me...
