Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts
Drone shot of the Kauffman center for the performing against the Kansas City skyline.
I took this photo with my DJI Mavic Air 2 drone on our way home after church one warm Sunday afternoon.
As with all the drone photos I take, I use 3 shot auto exposure bracketing (AEB) which is how some high dynamic range (HDR) photos are produced.
HDR photos seem to show better contrast a little more like how the human eye sees.
I only started to take drone photography seriously last April 1st when I passed the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) unmanned aerial vehicle system (UAVS) pilot license.
I could have, as many do, fly my drone without being licensed, but to become a professional at any craft being safe is first and foremost, as is learning to fly and learning to adapt my existing photography skills to an aerial camera system.
So far, I have a few hundred HDR drone photos in my collection that I will in due course share on this blog.
Below is a short summary in video form of what led me to fly drones. In short, I was inspired by my father, Neville, a veteran air traffic controller (ATC) who served in the British Royal Air Force (RAF).
