About a week ago I was asked to do something very different from what I’m used to. I was asked to map a very large section of the LA River by drone but not just fly over it, but provide a full resolution image to view of the areas and create a version in 3d as well with pin point location data to know exactly where the images were taken.
This is something I’ve never done before and without thinking about it I said I’d do it! I had no idea how, but I knew I’d figure it out. 24 hours later I was test flying over a local park to learn this new software and technique to capture this scale of a project.
I pulled this whole project off in one day, 7 flights and over 2,000 images (was a hell of a time organizing the images). But this is one of the main reasons I love this industry as it pushes you to do things and learn new techniques with almost every client that comes your way. You never know what could be next that may widen your skill sets and knowledge immensely.
