Scott Summer caught my eye as he's shooting a lot of golf courses, and I wanted to find out how he's making his connections and shooting all his footage. When you listen to this episode, you'll hear that he has a lot of connections in the industry due to his prior work, however he also goes over how to develop new business within the golf industry!

Scott started off flying the DJI Phantom 3 4K, but has now made the move to the DJI Phantom 4 Pro and Inspire 2 models. Why the change?

Mitchell Clarke is another awesome drone pilot that I came across on Instagram a while back, and have been dying to have on the show. If you check out his gallery, you'll see that he has a combo of some awesome photography skills combined with access to some world class locations!

As we chat about drone photography, we get into shooting AEB (auto exposure bracketing) mode, and Mitchell's workflow after the shoot. A quick preview is that he's a big fan of Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop, and impressively doesn't use any of his own presets! He works through a photo from start to finish until it looks right, and will only break down and use a preset if he's completely strapped for time. Check out this beach shot for an example of his edits.

Alexander Cervin is a drone pilot from Helsingborg, Sweden, who operates the Mavic Pro and Inspire 1 drones. Even though the Inspire 1 is an awesome machine, Alexander's go to drone is the Mavic Pro simply due to it's excellent portability. Even though he likes to fly the smaller drones, Sweden's drone rules are fairly relaxed and you can fly something up to 7kg without a permit!

In this episode we chat about creating drone maps, for use in real estate and construction progress, as well as his favourite Polarpro filters. Alex is also working on building his own drone! He has an engineering background, so I asked him if designing and building a drone would be something that anyone could accomplish. If you want the answer to that question, you're going to have to listen in!
