Inspired by photographing the ginkgo tree-lined streets of Meiji Jingu Gaien in 2022!
2023 is shaping up to be a year of big changes!
First of all, I am grateful to have made new friends through drones.
The presence of friends who compete with each other every day and simply enjoy aerial photography is a great help.
I am the founder of DRONE/47 and many people call me the founder! However, we are still in the early stages of running the business.
Among the friends I met through drones, there is no hierarchical relationship and everyone is on an equal footing.
Each person has their own thoughts about drones, but they are always connected by the sky.
There is still a lot of potential in the sky.
By flying drones over places that have never been seen before or where not many people can go, we can share the information with many people.
Even to fly just one spot, permission adjustments are required at multiple locations.
I never run away from that permission! I've never found it a hassle.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the facilities, tourist associations, local governments, and town halls who always cooperate with our filming.
As drone pilots, we take flying safely for granted! We make thorough preparations before flying.
It may be an exaggeration to say that "80% is preparation" and "20% is aerial photography," but preparation (applying for permission) is still important.
It would be a shame for us to be unable to use the footage we deliver because we have not obtained proper permission.
Professional drone pilots are experts at getting permission!
