For GRAFOBAL GROUP GOLF RESORT we delivered custom drone photography of the entire complex, the building itself, the car park and the adjacent areas. We shot in daylight as well as at sunset to capture the resort in the very best atmosphere. The delivery also included a drone video.
How we shot it
The technique that makes the difference.
The entire shoot was carried out with a DJI Air 3S drone. We hold valid permits for flying in controlled airspace, so the production ran legally, safely and without restrictions.
- DJI Air 3S drone
- Valid permits for flying in controlled airspace
- Fast shutter for sharp shots in motion
- The three-fast-frame method
The highest-quality photo is built from three frames
We shoot every key frame using the three-fast-frame method. We take a slightly underexposed, a balanced and a slightly overexposed photo, and in post-production we merge these three into a single final image. This gives us maximum detail in both the shadows and the highlights, which is simply not possible with a single frame.
When shooting from a tripod with a regular camera we use up to 5 frames. From a drone, however, that is not suitable, the drone constantly drifts slightly and 5 frames would no longer align, leaving the result blurry. That is why we choose a fast shutter and only 3 frames: the photo is therefore exceptionally clean and sharp.
How we did it
Step by step.
Plan and permits
We planned the shots of the entire complex and verified the flying conditions. We hold valid permits for flying in controlled airspace.
Drone shooting
With the DJI Air 3S drone we photographed the building, the car park and the surroundings, in daylight and at sunset.
The 3-frame method
We shot the key frames using the three-fast-frame method (underexposed / balanced / overexposed) and merged them into a single final photo.
Video and delivery
We added a drone video and delivered the client a complete set of materials ready for the website and social media.
