If you have a drone sitting in a cupboard, or you are still picking one out, this course is where the good shots begin. You learn safe flying, camera settings, light and editing, online at your own pace.
No experience needed. You are walked through the basics: how to fly safely, what the controls do, and how to line up a shot from the air. Beginner drone or a top-end one, the course works with what you have.
Already shooting? Add the aerial side. Shutter speed, ISO, the exposure triangle, filters and white balance, then editing made for drone shots. Go from happy snaps to images people stop and look at.
Twelve study hours, your own pace, no deadlines. Assessments can be retaken as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day. Lifetime access, so the material is there whenever you want it.
Aerial images are wanted anywhere there is something big to show: landscapes, buildings, events and cinematic video. The work is easy to picture: planning the flight, reading the light, then editing the best frames at home.
Flying and shooting landscapes, buildings and events. Safe flying, camera settings and editing get used every time you go up.
Some people build their own photography business. Aerial shots and editing widen what you can offer.
Wide shots of the venue and the whole group. Composition and light matter when the day moves fast.
Coastlines, ranges and towns from above, wherever you happen to be.
Building up a library of aerial images. Resolution and image quality are covered in the course.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.
Twelve topics, from your first flight to camera settings and image quality.
Here is what stands out in this course.
Complete beginners get the fundamentals: safe flying, flight controls and first aerial shots. If you already fly, you go deeper into composition, light and editing.
Camera anatomy, how a camera works, shutter speed, ISO and the exposure triangle. Then lights and filters, white balance, and photo resolution and quality.
Composition, lighting and editing made for drone shots. You learn the software side too, for striking images and cinematic video.
Your access never runs out, anywhere in the world. Work through it when you have time, then come back before your next flight.
