See the ship from the air with your own eyes is no comparison with seeing it from your drone controller monitor, and the adrenaline rush is real when we start the chase 😳 😆
The main advantages of shooting ships from a helicopter are:
1. The ship can sail at max speed, making the ship look fast and lively.
2. Shoot with high megapixel full frame DSLR get us higher image quality and better depth-of-field control. DSLR image picture science is of better quality than that of a drone.
3. I shoot with more than 2 cameras mounted with different lenses that give me a broad free play of my creativity.
