From the air, this landscape really comes alive, perfect for unique photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to get the most out of your helicopter flight? With these 7 tips, you will be optimally prepared and take the best aerial photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tips come not only from practice as a pilot, but also from years of experience in aerial photography. In fact, pilot Pieter Veendrick ran a successful aerial photography business for four years, working with a regular professional aerial photographer. During that time, much knowledge was gained about taking the perfect aerial photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pre-flight preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Check the weather (crucial for your photos)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather largely determines the quality of your photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2600\ufe0f Bright sunny weather can cause haze<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udf2c\ufe0f A northwest wind often provides clear \u201cDutch\u201d visibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2601\ufe0f Cloudy weather often gives the most beautiful colours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Preferably choose clear vision rather than sun only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Choose a maximum of one or two lenses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During a helicopter flight, you have little time to change lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recommended:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>one all-round lens (e.g. 24-70mm)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>or up to two lenses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Make sure your camera is ready<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check beforehand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>battery fully charged<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ample storage space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>appropriate settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: use a fast shutter speed (at least 1\/1000) to freeze movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Discuss your plan with the pilot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pilot Pieter Veendrick is happy to think along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discuss in advance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>what you want to photograph<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>what compositions you are looking for<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">During the helicopter flight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Avoid window reflection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflections can disturb your photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the flight, it is often possible to open a window<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ensures sharper and clearer images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Keep communicating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue to communicate with the pilot during the flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>indicate what you see<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ask for an extra turn if necessary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>play into the moment, you steer the chopper with your words<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The route is often adapted to the most beautiful flowering fields in the Northeast Polder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Take care of yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While shooting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>look through your lens a lot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the helicopter makes turns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This can cause dizziness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: take a travel sickness pill beforehand if you are prone to this<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, you can photograph leisurely and enjoy the flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf37 Why photographing from the sky is so special<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the air, you really see how unique the tulip fields are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Northeast Polder, the fields form:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>clean lines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>large areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an almost graphic landscape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A perspective you simply cannot capture from the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to take your perfect tulip photo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tulpenvliegroute.nl\/en\/book-now\/\">Book<\/a> your helicopter flight over the Northeast Polder and capture this unique landscape \ud83d\ude81\ud83d\udcf8\ud83c\udf37<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De tulpenvelden van de Noordoostpolder zijn wereldwijd bekend om hun kleuren en patronen.
