Episode 27: Flying High with Ian Schray and Drones




PhotoActive show

Summary: <p>In traditional photography, a great piece of advice is to “zoom with your feet,” or, move yourself closer to a subject. What happens when the subject is 400 feet high? Or you want a unique viewpoint that wouldn’t be possible without a crane? This week we talk to Ian Schray about flying drones: quadcopters outfitted with cameras.</p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Ian Schray (<a href="https://twitter.com/idschray" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a>)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://jeffcarlson.com" rel="nofollow">Jeff's website</a>, <a href="https://jeffcarlson.com/portfolio/" rel="nofollow">Jeff's photos</a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/jeffcarlson" rel="nofollow">Jeff on Instagram</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.kirkville.com" rel="nofollow">Kirk's website</a>, <a href="https://photos.kirkville.com" rel="nofollow">Kirk's photos</a>, <a href="https://instagram.com/mcelhearn" rel="nofollow">Kirk on Instagram</a> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <p>(<a href="https://www.photoactive.co/home/episode-27-shray-drones" rel="nofollow">View show notes with images at PhotoActive.co</a>)</p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/photoactive/id1391697658?mt=2" rel="nofollow">Rate and Review the PhotoActive Podcast!</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.thecommitted.tv/" rel="nofollow">The Committed Podcast</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://www.dji.com/products/consumer?site=brandsite&amp;from=nav" rel="nofollow">DJI Drones</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://amzn.to/2Q38AAR" rel="nofollow">DJI Pantom 2 V2.0 Quadcopter</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://amzn.to/2KMphuM" rel="nofollow">DJI Phantom 4 Quadcopter</a> (Ian’s model)</p></li> <li><p><a href="https://amzn.to/2KHwYlB" rel="nofollow">DJI Mavic Pro 1</a> (Jeff’s model)</p></li> <li><p><a href="https://amzn.to/2P8IgQz" rel="nofollow">DJI Mavic Pro 2</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://www.faa.gov/uas/" rel="nofollow">FAA Unmanned Aircraft Systems information</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://www.dji.com/flysafe" rel="nofollow">DJI Fly Safe information</a></p></li> </ul> <p><strong>Our Snapshots:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Jeff: <a href="https://amzn.to/2RRSYfX" rel="nofollow">Fstop Labs Accessories for DJI Mavic Pro/Platinum/Alpine White - Transport Clip Controller Transmitter Joystick Protector</a> </li> <li>Kirk: <a href="http://www.yannarthusbertrand2.org/folder/countries-from-above/" rel="nofollow">133 Countries from Above</a>, by Yann Arthus-Bertrand</li> </ul> <p><strong>Subscribe to the PhotoActive podcast mailing list</strong> at <a href="https://photoactive.co" rel="nofollow">the bottom of any page at the PhotoActive web site</a> to be notified of new episodes and be eligible for occasional giveaways.
