This month's update a little later than usual, as I've just returned from a short holiday to Budapest. We enjoyed some much needed r&r, and our warm weather clothing was also needed! It's safe to say that Hungary is also pretty chilly at this time of year. This month's photo was taken from nearly 400 feet, the maximum altitude I'm permitted to fly. Anything higher than this is into helicopter territory. I was capturing the relationship here between the farmhouse, the formal gardens and several paddocks belonging to it. Thanks to the drone I was able to capture the property with all of it's land in one image. Sadly I don't 'feel' in control enough piloting with gloves on, so my fingers just about held out to land the aircraft before they dropped off.
I couldn't resist another drone shot for this month's image. It's becoming an ever increasing popular option to market homes and capture the property and the land belonging to it. This property was beautifully positioned and whilst this view is it's rear elevation, we really help to show it's rural setting with miles of peaceful farmland surrounding this converted barn.
Plenty of height was required at this property in order to tell the story here. I wanted to show both the land belonging to the house and the surrounding countryside, both in good measure. By using the drone and photographing aerially, you can say a lot in one image. If my memory serves me correctly this was made at just at around sixty to seventy feet, and shows the private driveway leading to the property and its secluded setting.
