Albuquerque drone hyperlapse video first try

Trying out hyperlapse video in Albuquerque

I was actually out scouting a location for a client (WSI Web Enhancers) for making a panoramic aerial drone photo, when with the last remaining battery life, I decided to give the new Hyperlapse mode a try. This very short 5 seconds of video took the drone over 4 minutes to make as every 2 seconds it took a photo, in total over 100 photos make up this 5 second clip! I will soon be going out making more purposeful (and longer) Hyperlapse videos of Albuqureque.

Tramway Albuquerque New Mexico luxury real estate drone photos

As a certified drone pilot in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I regularly photograph luxury real estate for my clients, like Fred & Sandra Creek of ABQhomes to help sell their properties faster and to be able to compete in the modern real estate market. Here at Jason Collin Photography, I have been at the leading edge of drone aerial photography and video since 2017. What drone aerial photos allowed me to do for this property was show its amazing neighborhood with a large park right next door as well as its proximity to the Sandia Mountains. The lot also has mature landscaping that would block views of the home from the ground, but from the air the drone shows the majesty of the tall trees surrounding the house.

Drone Aerial Photography of Rio Rancho roads

This was my third drone aerial photography project in the past two months for WSP, this time taking me way up to Rio Rancho along Paseo Del Norte Blvd and Unser Blvd. This was more of a utilitarian assignment getting aerial photos of the road itself and the intersection, but while I had the drone up I did point to toward the Sandia Mountains to get the above photo mostly because I thought it was a unique view I could share. Then the top down view of the intersection I found personally interesting as I managed to somehow capture a moment with zero vehicles passing through it!

A White Thanksgiving in Albuquerque

Albuquerque does not get much snow, and especially not nearly 6 inches in November! Thanksgiving morning revealed a city covered in snow so I sent up my drone before cooking to get a couple of quick shots of a rare view of the city.

Drone Aerial Photography of Rio Bravo Blvd bridge

Back out on another project for WSP, this time flying my drone over the Rio Bravo Blvd bridge over the Rio Gande River. This was quite a change from the urban area in central Albuquerque for the first project. Surprisingly there were more flying restrictions in this more remote area than in the city. I had to for the first time use a DJI custom unlock request to even be able to launch the drone here. Once up in the air, the views were quite stunning with some color in the trees stills and the Sandia Mountains providing the background and the Rio Grande River the foreground.

Sedillo Sunset Mountains Drone Video

Sedillo Sunset

From the ground, it was impossible to get an idea of what a rural land real estate property looked like due to near complete tree cover. I was out for a new rural land real estate client near the small town of Sedillo, in the east mountains area of Albuquerque, New Mexico. I took what photos I could from the ground with my Sony a7R IV, and was amazed what a difference 100 feet makes when my new drone, a DJI Mavic 2 Pro, went way up above the treelike and revealed hills, mountains, and a brilliant setting sun. This is the value drone video provides in compliment to the still photos I make from the ground, especially for rural land real estate. This is my cut of the video focusing on just the mountains and the sunset.

Commercial Drone Aerial Photos for Engineering in Albuquerque New Mexico

From headshots to drone photos

WSP was first a client two months ago for a very different type of job . . . making 25 headshots in their ping pong break room! This time they contacted me for a series of shoots that will involve making drone aerial photographs of a series of projects they have engineered in and around Albuquerque. The first took me to the 12th Street and I-40 area where WSP built the sidewalks and medians. They are actually entering a contest for such things, so my drone aerial photos will be used for that competition. I hope they win! Thank you Frances and WSP for continuing to choose me as your photographer, and now drone pilot too!
