2023 Drone recap

As 2023 draws to a close, it's time to look back on the incredible aerial adventures of the year. Armed with my DJI Inspire 2 and Mavic 3 Cine drones, I had the privilege of capturing stunning visuals and delivering high-quality drone services. Let's explore the highlights, from Saudi Arabia to Scotland, and more.

Saudi Arabia: Kicking off the Year with OR Media: The year started with an exciting project in Saudi Arabia alongside OR Media. It was a thrilling opportunity to explore the diverse landscapes, culture, and architecture of this unique destination. My drones, the DJI Inspire 2 and Mavic 3 Cine, were essential in capturing the grandeur of Saudi Arabia from the skies, providing breathtaking footage for our project.

Preserving Scotland's Beauty with the National Trust: Transitioning to the scenic beauty of Scotland, I collaborated closely with the National Trust to showcase the natural wonders of Glenfinnan. Whether it was capturing the tranquility of Loch Shiel or the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct, my drones painted a cinematic picture of the region's essence. Later in the year, we ventured to Corrieshalloch Gorge, highlighting the raw power of nature through aerial perspectives.

A Year Filled with Diverse Projects: In 2023, I had the privilege of working on various projects, including collaborations with Visit Scotland, several more projects with the National Trust of Scotland, capturing the essence of Sassenach Whisky, and documenting the innovative work of Orbital Marine Power. Each project pushed the boundaries of aerial cinematography, showcasing the versatility of drone services.

Looking Ahead to 2024: As we approach the new year, I'm excited about what lies ahead. 2024 promises a mix of paid assignments and personal projects, all of which will benefit from the expertise and creativity of our drone services. Whether it's capturing the untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands, exploring new aerial storytelling techniques, or delivering top-notch drone services to clients, we are ready to soar to new heights.

In Conclusion: 2023 was a great year working as a drone operator. With new opportunities on the horizon, I look forward to continuing my journey as a drone operator and delivering exceptional drone services.
