It's a Bird! It's a Plane! No...Wait—it's a Drone Shooting Aerial Photos!

When paired with a photographer, the drone automatically becomes an invaluable tool for capturing the stunning views of any property. From sweeping rooftop porches to lush canopies of greenery, it's the ideal way to showcase every angle in exquisite detail.

Ranked #5: Front Mid-Level Views: From 5 to 75 Feet

At number five, the front mid-level drone shot is a timeless classic, perfect for homes of any size, shape, or proximity to the beach. This perspective captures the full scope of the property while showcasing its surroundings in stunning detail. The first of two angles at this height features a 45-degree tilt, accentuating the property's edges and adding drama and depth. The straight-on shot offers a clean, compelling view of the property's grandeur. A special bonus: when captured at twilight, the image is bathed in the warm glow of a sun-kissed sky, adding an extra layer of beauty and ambiance.

Ranked #4: The Rooftop Porch

A rooftop porch is a feature worthy of admiration, but capturing its beauty from the right angle takes it to the next level. Enter the rooftop drone shot: a carefully executed, tactical descent that delivers a one-of-a-kind perspective. As with the mid-level shot, this angle truly comes to life when captured in daytime and twilight, showcasing the property in the best possible light. Taking the number four spot, the rooftop shot highlights the full potential of drone technology—much like those breathtaking sunsets you've been raving about.

Ranked #3: The Wild Card

You might be wondering what makes a "wildcard" shot so unique. Simply put, it's an angle that pushes the boundaries—when external factors create challenges, allowing the photographer to improvise and adapt. These shots often result in custom, one-of-a-kind images that showcase the property in unexpected ways. Whether capturing the intricate details of the architecture or the surrounding natural beauty, such as nearby wilderness, the wildcard angle allows our photographers to think outside the box. 

Ranked #2: The Back Showcase Shot

Just behind the top spot is the Drone Back Showcase shot, a stunning angle that highlights the full scale of a property. Perfect for showcasing expansive yards, pools, or other standout features, this shot allows the house to be seen in its entirety, giving viewers a true sense of its grandeur. The addition of a serene blue pool in the frame elevates the shot even further, offering a tranquil contrast to the property. When the drone can capture the scene from a wider distance, the sky opens up, adding a dramatic "showcase" feel to the image, making it stand out among all the angles.

Ranked #1: 10 Feet Above the Gulf

‍The number one drone shot offers the unparalleled satisfaction of seeing a pristine vacation property hovering over the Gulf—or any body of water, for that matter. This shot captures it all, showcasing the drone's incredible capabilities and a photographer's skill. The vibrant aqua blue of the water, both beneath and surrounding the property, creates a breathtaking scene that was once only visible to birds before the advent of modern drone technology. This shot is the most visually striking and awe-inspiring, underscoring why drones are an essential tool in our business and a key to capturing properties at their absolute best.
