A new challenge from heights!

Hey! Have you ever thought how would looks like a photo from heights? I just felt really curious about it and found out an aerial widget that allows me to do so, and guess what? I found it in my place of study. So, here is a wonderful aerial photo of that magical place and so on the answer to my curiosity.

Since the invention of the camera, many ideas have been created to make its functionalities even better, to create fantastic illustrated works or just to capture those simple moments that will give you an unforgettable memory for the rest of your life. Since almost everybody can take photos with their phones, cameras, or whatever they choose to, taking photos from heights have become the new challenge, and, to make this possible, a new invention has just been created, Drones.

Best known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), drones have existed since the beginning of the 90s; they were mainly thought to be part of the military aviation, as an unpiloted aircraft, which would avoid putting pilot’s lives at risk in combat zones. In spite of this first use, drones haven’t just been used for military purposes; they have been used in photography, mapping, airmail, spying and many other actions.

Actual drones are small radio-controlled aircrafts equipped with 3, 4, 6 or 8 engines that provide a better stabilization and elevation of the device. Among other features, is the gimbal, which is a support that allows rotation and stabilization of cameras to make the most precise and professional job in height photos. Some drones are equipped with their own 12-megapixels-camera which has the potential of making photos and videos of up to 4k ultra HD quality, what means an ultra high definition on every shot and every recording.

With the addition of the gimbal, professional photographers and not so professional have felt inspired to start making the most artistic works from heights, the inspiration has just stopped being a far-flung concept to become a day-to-day feeling, and wonders of the world, as seen from heights, are now a drone away.
