Tuscany …

Have been traveling here over Eastern also to find some nice spots for October – when the early morning fog creates these magical scenes. Its a region that was cultivated long ago and it breathes the culture of the old romans and the etruscans. Difficult not to be impressed here. The landscape is full of nice and explicit elements that...

Year-End Coastal Meditation

2017 was also pretty much a year of testing techniques and discovering new perspectives. I spend a lot of time to find out how create new perspectives with copters under various circumstances on water. The most recent copters are a perfectly stabilized platform and this has some potentials for new visuals. The successful Mirabaud 2017 shot is likely one of the best examples....

505 time-motion stack makes it into the Mirabaud Top20

My time-motion stack made it into the Top20 of the international Mirabaud Yacht Racing Photo Contest. This is really great since it means that the image will be displayed on some events! When I planned this shot in winter 2016/17 I never thought that this concept would work so well – although I felt that the potential application of these...

German Classics 2017!

Wiedermal eine tolle Veranstaltung – die German Classics 2017 vor Laboe am letzten Wochenende. Obwohl diesmal nicht ganz so stark besucht wie in den letzten Jahren und durchaus vom Wetter etwas gebeutelt hatte dieses Wochenende irre Momente zu bieten. Der Sonnabend war schlicht eine herrliche Rauschefahrt bei 5-6Bf und schöner Welle. Fotografisch gesehen war wirklich am Sonnabend alles drin, nur der Coptereinsatz...

Preparing for the German Classics

Right back from our Scandinavia tour! Shot a lot of these fantastic landscapes at the west coast of Sweden and than also some in the North of Denmark. The mixed weather was kind of cool for doing all sorts of things photographically – from under-water towards copter night time and sunset shots and also using slomos at the coast. I...

Havel Klassik 2017!

Havel Klassik 2017 – das größte Treffen klassischer Segler im Binnenbereich. Diesmal recht overcast die Lichtbedingungen, aber trotzdem wars wiedermal herrlich die vielen verschiedenen Bootsklassen vor den historischen Gebäuden zu sehen. Diesmal hatte ich eine Durchfluggenehmigung für das EDR-4 Sperrgebiet beantragt bei der BAF und konnte so einige schöne Perspektiven vor der Pfaueninsel testen. Ingesamt natürlich mit viel Potential bei...

MicroSD cards and standards …

There is a lot of confusion about the speed of MicroSD cards these days and various standards exist. Overall its easy to buy yourself into the wrong card type and for copter data acquisitions with the P4Pro the card speed is essential. So here we go: UHS-I and UHS-II (Ultra High Speed Classes): UHS-II is the newest standard but is...

Speeding up Agisoft Photoscan

For some of the copter data processing folks Agisoft Photoscan turns out to be the most important tool/software to calculate point clouds, orthoimages and nadir data mosaics from copter photographs. Problem: very long processing times with dense point cloud calculations with high or ultra-high settings (full resolution image matching with SfM (Structure from Motion) algorithms). Some nice net finds show...

Drone Deploy and DJIs POI Mode copter image acquisitions

Using DroneDeploy and the POI mode of DJI (this article was first published on jenacopterlabs.de). Have been doing some leaf-off flights now in March on one of my favorite sites for complex tree crown point cloud mapping. To add to the leaf-on data from last autumn. Fig.: Leaf-Off point cloud with combined height color coding and reflectance color coding. This time...
