By ensuring just a few things, you can easily capture stunning shots through drone photography but before diving into the technicalities of this acclaimed method of capturing shots, it makes sense to mention a bit about its glorious history. The first session of Aerial Photography was carried out in France back in 1858 by Gaspard-Félix Tournachon with the help of a balloon tethered at a height of 80 meters. Unfortunately, none of those aerial photos have survived to this day, but his name will always come to mind while thinking or talking about Aerial Photography.

There was a time when kites and pigeons were used as a carrier for mounting the camera to the desired height to capture aerial shots. The former is still used for the same purpose by a few photographers, but the latter has fortunately become obsolete in this regard. These days, most of the aerial shots are captured through a manned or an unmanned aircraft. Despite being less expensive, the latter is as effective as the former.

For getting the desired results through drone photography, you need to ensure that the lighting conditions in the concerned area are perfect. The light should neither be too much nor too less. So, according to most of the professional photographers, the best time for carrying out a fruitful session of Aerial Photography is just before the sunset. The quality of the concerned lens will always play a vital role in deciding the fate of the concerned aerial shot. So, you need to ensure that it is superlative.

Aerial Photography in India, during the course of the last few years, has witnessed an impressive growth in terms of popularity and awareness. Most of the Indians have realized that an aerial camera can capture better shots than its land-based sibling. However, the cost of availing aerial photography services, even after witnessing a decline, can’t still be called affordable for millions of Indians. So, this cost should continue to come down in order to ensure that the Aerial methods of photography get preferred over the conventional methods ones by people living in all parts of India.

The first thing that you need to have for carrying out a session of aerial photography in India is a formal permission from the police department of the concerned area. You may or may not get this permission based on the sensitivity of the concerned area in terms of criminal activities.
