Albuquerque Drone Hyperlapse Video Sample 2

Hyperlapse drone video try #2

I had been wanting to try out the hyperlapse recording mode on my Mavic 2 Pro drone again for a while, so after seeing interesting skies, I got the drone up in the air to record my second hyperlapse. It had been too long since I made the first one because I totally forgot, again, that at default settings for hyperlapse, even though the drone makes 125 photos over 4 minutes to make the hyperlapse video, it turns out to be just 4 seconds of moving video! I also made a few still aerial drone photos of the stunning clouds catching the last of the light of dusk at twilight.

Duesenberg Model X Professional Car Photography Albuquerque New Mexico

July 02, 2020 in Cars, Drone

It’s a Duesenberg in Albuquerque!

In my car photography career, I have had the opportunity to photograph a lot of expensive cars, including a Rolls-Royce Wraith over $350k (and even drive it too!). However, the Duesenberg Model X photographed in Albuquerque, New Mexico is above and beyond any other car in terms of both value and rarity. This Duesenberg model is just one of five still in existence in the world! Who owns one of those other examples? No less than Jay Leno! The owner of this Model X is selling to to replace it with a Duesenberg Model J. He hired me to make photographs to help sell it for the highest price possible, as well as make drone video of the car in motion on Tramway Blvd.

Stunning Rio Grande River Aerial Drone Photos at Sunset New Mexico True

Drone photography delivers the Albuquerque image wow factor

Needing a signature look of Albuquerque for their client, WSI Web Enhancers asked me what I think that would be. They sent me a few samples from other cities, and most of those included water. Well, the only water around Albuquerque is the Rio Grande River, so I knew I needed to incorporate that in the 360 panorama drone photo I was to make for them. That same evening there was a spectacular sunset in the making, so I took my drone to an area near the river and put it into position to capture the Rio and the Albuquerque city skyline plus the Sandia Mountains as the background. You can see the results for yourself above. Both WSI and their client were very, very happy with the final 360 drone product!

Drone photography of bridges in Albuquerque

Back out on another commercial drone photography shoot for WSP in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this time getting aerial drone photos of all four pedestrian bridges that cross Tramway Blvd at the foot of the Sandia Mountains. This is the second time (see Rio Bravo Blvd Bridge) I have photographed bridges to help WSP get contracts. I have also made headshots of their entire team too! Here at Jason Collin Photography, we really, really appreciate our repeat clients. There is not better compliment than for a client to choose us again!

Downtown Albuquerque Sunset 360 Panorama Drone Aerial Photography

Downtown Albuquerque like you have never seen before

Part of my drone photography work for WSI Web Enhancers took me to downtown Albuquerque at sunset to get beautiful, attention grabbing drone imagery for WSI to in turn wow their own client with. Mother Nature greatly cooperated with perfect clouds and warm setting sunlight to paint the view of downtown ABQ with, and for me to send up my DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone up to capture. I was west of the downtown skyline so I could provide both a more unique view of the city (most photos show it from the east) and also to have the Sandia Mountains serve as the backdrop. I am very excited to offer 360 panorama drone photos on Jason Collin Photography for my clients!

Baseball Field Aerial Drone Photography in Albuquerque New Mexico

Baseball field drone view in Albuquerque

While on a 360 panorama drone photography shoot for WSI Web Enhancers, I was very close to a baseball field, Tingley Field for those that know Albuquerque, New Mexico. In making the 360 panorama photo, the drone captures 26 photos. The baseball field was right below the drone, and captured these unique views. I found the angles the fencing made to be interesting mixed with the late evening light casting shadows. Then perhaps the most interesting visual feature are the dark rings (crop circles?) seen in two of the shots What made those? If you know, or even want to guess, let me know in the comments below!

360 Panorama Drone Photography Downtown Albuquerque

360 Drone Panorama Images of Albuquerque

Out on a drone photography assignment for local Albuquerque, New Mexico business WSI Web Enhancers, I launched my drone from the top of a parking garage in downtown, set the photo mode to panorama sphere, and the above is the result. As a certified drone pilot for over 2 years, I regularly share drone content on Jason Collin Photography, but this is the first time to feature a 360 panorama photo! The drone did all the shooting itself. I flew it into position, and let the drone do its thing. The big challenge for me was, how to share this 360 panorama image on my site. I did a lot of research into this and found no clear process actually. After a while I came to find that I need to upload the huge panorama image the drone stitched together for me, to a website that will host the image and format it. Basically it’s like putting video on YouTube.
