A gathering point for sports and events in a different perspective

Standing alone in the dark, out in a swamp-like field, must be described as a bit over-enthusiastic and if you happened to pass by it, it would definitely be confirmed! ! Nevertheless, I had chosen this place as an ideal place to fly from in terms of photography itself and security. The goal was to capture the FIF ball court in the foreground, the center should be Frederiksborg Center and Royal Stage and the background should be Hillerød – in the head the composition of the picture was determined.

The plan was relatively simple – fly up, photograph the object and land again …

Unfortunately, this is a somewhat simplified version of what is actually happening. Photographing with a longer exposure while hanging in the air is also likely to mean blurring the image due to movements in the drone. The slightest wind or correction of the drone’s location can actually ruin the photograph – unfortunately this often happens, which is why it also requires more patience than that.

However, the challenge with this image was slightly increased as the composition itself, as I imagined it, had to be adjusted while in the air. Suddenly, there was a parking space that filled more of the picture than initially assumed, and which in fact brought one’s eye-catching with it in a different way than I had anticipated before the flight. So I decided to change my composition a little bit and thus also create another thread around the image.

The composition itself remained as planned ie. same foreground, center and background.

Et sportsmekka i et andet perspektiv – drone fotografering i mørke

At stå alene i mørket, ude i et sumplignende markområde, må nok betegnes som en smule overentusiastisk og kom man ved et tilfælde gående forbi, så ville det helt sikkert blive bekræftet! ! Ikke desto mindre, så havde jeg udvalgt dette sted, som et ideelt sted at flyve fra i forhold til selve fotografiet og sikkerheden. Målet var at indfange FIF boldbane i forgrunden, midten skulle være Frederiksborg Centret og Royal Stage og baggrunden skulle være Hillerød – i hovedet var billedets komposition fastlagt.

Planen var relativ simpel – flyv op, fotografer og land igen…

Desværre er dette en noget forsimplet udgave af hvad der reelt sker. At fotografere med en længere eksponering mens man hænger i luften, er med stor sandsynlighed også ensbetydende med, at billedet bliver sløret på grund af bevægelser i dronen. Den mindste vind eller korrigering af dronens placering kan reelt ødelægge fotografiet – dette sker desværre ofte, hvorfor det også kræver en større tålmodighed end som så.

Udfordringen med dette billede blev dog forøget en smule, da selve kompositionen, som jeg havde forestillet mig det, skulle justeres mens jeg var i luften. Pludselig var der en p-plads, som fyldte mere i billedet end først antaget, og som reelt førte ens blikfang med sig på en anden måde, end jeg havde forudset inden flyvningen. Jeg valgte derfor at ændre min komposition en lille smule og dermed også lave en anden tråd rundt i billede.

Selve kompositionen forblev som planlagt dvs. samme forgrund, midte og baggrund.
