Beginner’s Guide to Drone Photography — turn your travel drone into a landscape photography skillset
The gist: An 80-minute video course that takes you from “I own a drone” to “I know how to actually shoot with it” for travel landscapes.
- Full settings walkthrough: Covers the best DJI drone settings for shooting fast on the move versus dialing in the highest quality for a hero shot.
- Composition for landscapes: Rule of thirds from the air, shot variation, when to change angles, and how to bracket exposures so you don’t blow out skies or lose shadow detail over dramatic terrain.
- Mobile editing workflow: Walks through VSCO, Lightroom Mobile, and Unfold so you can edit and post from the road without a laptop.
- Bonus presets included: Comes with 4 drone photography presets to speed up your color correction.
Per Moment’s own course listing, instructor Max Chesnut built the lesson around his own flying experience in the Lofoten Islands, Iceland, and Croatia — real dramatic-landscape terrain, not a studio backdrop.
Best for: nomads and travel creators who already own a drone but get inconsistent results. Skip it if: you don’t own a drone yet or fly somewhere with tight no-fly-zone restrictions. Runs ~$15 — check the current price before buying.
