Drone Photography!

We live in an ever-changing world.  One field that is rapidly evolving is Unnamed Aircraft Systems or "Drones"  According to the whitepaper "EMS Agenda 2050" in another three decades, we will be using drones instead of ambulances to retrieve injured patients and transport them to a hospital.  (An interesting read if you want to know what the powers that be believe the world of Emergency medicine will look like in another 31 years.  Link here. )  

Drones are already integral to our military warfare and reconnaissance, and even Amazon has begun the process of drone delivery.   A quick Google search will show a huge number of photographers and videographers offering drone photography.  Drones are now being used for surveying, thermal imagining, crop studying, and even wildlife management.   

As drone usage broadens, the FAA and other regulator agencies have to come up with new rules.  For the last couple years, drone use near widland fires has been prohibited, due to the potential for the helicopters working the fires having a mid-air-impact.  In 2016 the Federal Aviation Administration passed section 107, creating rules and regulations for UAS.  Associated with this, is the relatively new "Remote Pilot Certificate.  This is required for any "commercial" drone use.  The photos you see on this post do not constitute commercial, because I am a. Not being paid to take them, b. Not selling them, and c. Not using them to advertise a service. 

I want to say thanks to my brother-in-law Jason for allowing me to play around with his DJI Mavic Pro drone yesterday.   Will I "go into" drone photography?  The remains to be determined.  I would love to, but the price tag on the lease expensive drone I would look at is about what I make in a month...   Feel free to make a donation.....

Sarah and Aaron Luna Wedding

I recently had the privilege of taking my little sister Sarah's wedding photos in Bigfork Montana.   That sounds pretty simple when written in a sentence, but taking two kids under the age of 4 across the US... well, lets just say I am glad to be back to my own bed.   From a photographer's view, the wedding day was perfect.  Lightly cloudy in the morning, with some patchy sun in the afternoon and evening.   From a brother's view, she's married.  What more do I say.    

Congratulations Sarah and Aaron!

About Levi Hebert Photography

Picture
So why does the guy you know as Levi, now have a website called Levi Hebert Photograph?

I grew up in the Traverse City area of Michigan, spending most of my waking hours outside. The area I had within bike range was mostly swamp to one degree or another. I became interested in photography pretty early in life, starting with a 35mm camera, and then being given a 4.0mp Cannon Powershot for a birthday present. I roamed the woods, swamps, beaches, and streams near my house, taking as many photos as possible.
Fast forward a few years. Ok, more than a few. In my teenage years I upgraded to my first DSLR camera, and started being an “assistant photographer” for some weddings. After a few of these I started doing a few weddings myself. Then life happened, I got married, moved a few times, etc. I still enjoyed photography, but I felt there were so many good photographers around, what did I have to offer?

Jump ahead to more recent years. I work full time in Emergency Response in different roles. Most of these jobs had a good bit of downtime. I have observed that many people in these situations just vegetate on movies / youtube / facebook / etc. Now I like all of the above, but I took a vacation from these and downloaded books, tutorials, classes, lessons, and anything else I could find on my favorite subjects: Photography, Kayaking, Navigation (for kayaking), and Scuba Diving.
I know that not having a degree in Arts or Photography may dissuade some from wishing to entrust their photography to me. I completely understand, but I wish to suggest a close look at my portfolio.

I believe my photography speaks for itself. When I go looking for a photographer to learn from, I look at their portfolio, not their choice of camera, education, or location. The most important part of photography is the photographer’s “eye” This is their ability to look at a subject and choose what details, what framing, and what perspective will best showcase the subject.
What will the future hold? I am not exactly sure. More accurately, I do not have a clue... I do know I love photography, being a Father, Husband and Paramedic. How these will be balanced, and what will be added I am not sure. Photography may stay something done mostly for fun, and a little for hire. Or it may become a full time occupation in itself.

Only time will answer some questions. Such as what the weather will be tomorrow in Michigan. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and if you wish to stay update as the story unfolds, consider following Levi Hebert Photography.
