Gorgeous drone photography taken over Australia, from TheCreatorsProject.
Gazing out of a plane window, the world below never gets old. There’s an inherent beauty and fascination in seeing things from a different perspective, which is probably why DIY drone photography has taken off. After all, drones can go where humans can’t, and in this way, they’ve opened up a new way of looking at both the practice of photography and the world around us.
As technology prices drop, access to more gadgets increases. While once just for tech-heads, you can now pick up an entry-level drone fitted with a camera from less than $200. But just because you can walk into a shop and buy one, doesn’t mean you’ll automatically be able to achieve great shots. Like all artforms, there’s skill and creativity required.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
