Best Rural Land Real Estate Drone Photography in El Morro New Mexico

Best rural land real estate photographer for Cibola County New Mexico

My first rural land real estate photography shoot of 2021 had me right back to where I spent much of the last few months of 2020, in the El Morro area of Cibola County, New Mexico. The snow had 95% melted from most areas, except north facing slopes, as you can see in the photos, especially from the drone aerial photos. This particular property extended all the way up and over the mesa, which was a tricky little climb for me in the snow with two cameras and a tripod! This is the physical ability and professionalism I have to make sure, even in difficult conditions, I get the best photographic coverage of a property for this client.

Drone Aerial Photography for Commercial Purchases in Albuquerque

A recent client needed commercial aerial drone photography of a retail space in the northeast area of Albuquerque, New Mexico that highlighted how much traffic this area gets. What getting photos from 100+ feet in the air offers is not just the traffic passing right in front of the retail space, but traffic in all directions and even how full the parking lots are. A nice bonus of drone photos from that high was being able to get the Sandia Mountains in for a pretty background. The client will use these images in part to make an offer on two commercial businesses featured in the photos.

3 Days Photographing Blue River Ranch in Arizona

At the end of August I had a unique opportunity to photograph and fly over a unique luxury ranch property only about 1.5 miles as the crow flies beyond the New Mexico border in a small, small town call Blue River, Arizona. This shoot was unique because I actually stayed on the property in the guest cabin, so I could easily shoot at all hours of the day capturing a luxury real estate property like I never was able to do before. The owner, Miriam, was a gracious host and very helpful even in assisting with some aspects of the shoot. If you want acres of land, your very own pond, and privacy, this might just be the place for you! Miriam has created a fantastic website highlighting everything about this property featuring the photos and drone content I made over the course of 3 days on site. Thank you Miriam for choosing me as your photographer and drone pilot, it was a great shoot and a wonderful time on the ranch.

Drone Aerial Photography for bridges for WSP

Back out on another aerial drone photography flight for WSP involving a bridge, this time in the very small town of Endee, New Mexico. This bridge spans I-40 just before the border with Texas. This is the furthest I have traveled for WSP after several bridge drone photo shoots around Albuquerque, like these all along Tramway Blvd. After the flight I checked out the amazing Rt 66 car museum in the Russells Truck & Travel Center. This is possibly the best ever gas/convenience store/truck stop I have ever been to. I highly recommend stopping by to see the museum and get a snack!

Quemado Lake New Mexico Drone Video and Photography

Aerial and lakeshore views of this hidden gem

My rural land real estate work takes me to all corners of New Mexico, but I had never yet been to the west-central area of New Mexico where I found the hidden gem of Quemado Lake. Far from any interstate, really far from any even major town, let alone city, it’s a place you have to go ou oof your way to find. It is definitely a place worth making an effort for, as it has a hiking trail that goes around the entire shoreline of this quite large lake. Plus, there are the traditional lake on-water activities. I share with you views from the drone and the lake side of this hidden gem.

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.

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!
