Drone Photography & Aerial Panoramas with Colin Smith

In this episode of TheFIX, we're joined by Colin Smith to talk about aerial drone photography and techniques for photographing and processing aerial panoramas. Colin shares how he first got involved with drones and aerial photography two and a half years ago, and we discuss some of the aerial "tripod-in-the-sky" process he uses when shooting images for a panorama. Then we move into Lightroom where Colin shows how easy it is to stitch multiple aerial images together using Lightroom's Merge to Panorama feature.
