I have a remote shutter release (short range radio), and could use a monopod to raise the camera a few feet above my head. The shots would be guesswork, though (which is okay). Drone photographers have remote monitors, letting them see what the flying camera sees.Jess Isaiah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037913907655451813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471682564764584057.post-61987353792051684422014-09-16T09:41:33.095-04:002014-09-16T09:41:33.095-04:00Maybe a fishing pole with a camera attached?Maybe a fishing pole with a camera attached?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101500916547854762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471682564764584057.post-60202620116551663642014-09-16T09:25:51.060-04:002014-09-16T09:25:51.060-04:00That should read "plans to purchase a drone&q...That should read "plans to purchase a drone", but "planes to purchase" was a nice typo, unless I go with helicopter style, which is more practical for mounting a camera!Jess Isaiah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037913907655451813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471682564764584057.post-61447919355313065242014-09-16T09:23:42.929-04:002014-09-16T09:23:42.929-04:00I don't have any current planes to purchase a ...I don't have any current planes to purchase a drone...although when I was a kid, I really wanted to fly a model airplane (they were mostly controlled by wires then, radio control was a few years away), so maybe I'll grow a wild hair and decide to become a kid again and get a drone and...Jess Isaiah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037913907655451813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471682564764584057.post-86709108702014876572014-09-16T09:16:58.995-04:002014-09-16T09:16:58.995-04:00Are you going to do any drone photography in 2015?...Are you going to do any drone photography in 2015?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471682564764584057.post-64746291201263174822014-09-15T13:03:43.845-04:002014-09-15T13:03:43.845-04:00I should probably have noted that it can be even m...I should probably have noted that it can be even more valuable to spend some time just being there - wherever it is - and paying attention to what is around you, without the distraction of operating a camera. Of course, that's also a good reason to learn your equipment as thoroughly as you can, so that you can work it without much conscious thought.Jess Isaiah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037913907655451813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471682564764584057.post-20381212196445738112014-09-15T12:58:29.814-04:002014-09-15T12:58:29.814-04:00Perhaps that's why I revisited and revised a p...Perhaps that's why I revisited and revised a photo that was "taken" at the very tail end of the year of the Dragon, per the Chinese calendar (early Feb., 2013). :<)Jess Isaiah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037913907655451813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471682564764584057.post-37575210148038069572014-09-15T12:28:50.847-04:002014-09-15T12:28:50.847-04:00Very wise words, Jess, and good advice to adopt. ...Very wise words, Jess, and good advice to adopt.
