I thought I would post this compare and contrast blog – in a previous blog you have seen the long exposure image of Craigellachie Bridge a bridge from 1814 by Thomas Telford one of the great engineers of his day. This time however I thought I might add to it some aerial images of the same subject. The lead shot is a mono arty interpretation of the bridge by drone the other 2 are more conventional drone images. An aerial overview and a elevated landscape shot. I have included the long exposure for a comparison. I think it is interesting to see the two types alongside each other – something I may well do more of in the future. And dont be surprised if you start seeing video footage too – as I am becoming acutely aware that a modern photographer in order to be competitive and survive (especially now) has to have an understanding of both.
I rather like the arty aerial – what do you think?
