Photography is one of the most exciting things you can do with your drone. You get to see things from a whole new angle and create stunning shots that everyone admires and maybe even make money from<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But every drone photographer will at one point experience a sudden drain of creativity. After you\u2019ve shot the sunset from all the angles you could think of, flown over winding roads and photographed countless buildings, you might be wondering where to go next. <\/p>\n

Everything suddenly seems so mundane and boring. You feel like your photos don\u2019t have that wow factor you are used to. <\/p>\n

I call it shooter\u2019s block, a term I borrowed from a somewhat similar experience writers go through called writer\u2019s block<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s normal so don\u2019t panic or think that you are a terrible photographer. It\u2019s just that you have run out of inspiration. <\/p>\n

Not even an expensive photography drone will get you out of the rut. What you need is new inspirations and ideas. Here are 5 ways to get them and refresh your creativity. <\/p>\n

1. Use Google Maps & Google Earth<\/h2>\n

Fly around the world with Google Earth to find new drone photography ideas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you are tired shooting the same locations, use Google maps and Google Earth to scout new places. It’s a great way to get inspired from the comfort of your couch.<\/p>\n

If you want to shoot nature landscapes, look for places with interesting features such as rivers, lakes and mountains. If you are looking for unique urban photography ideas, scout abandoned industrial parks and buildings.<\/p>\n

You can also scout for places with wind farms, winding roads and other interesting scenes. Just make sure it\u2019s legal to fly a drone there. <\/p>\n

To get an idea of what the place looks like, check the satellite imagery on Google Earth. Using these images, you can plan precisely where you are going to fly and which scenes you are going to shoot.<\/p>\n

2. Look at other People\u2019s Work<\/h2>\n

Sometimes, the best way to get inspired is by borrowing other people\u2019s ideas. By looking at what other drone photographers are shooting, you might just get a new idea or two. <\/p>\n

Stock image and video sites like iStock, Getty Images and Shutterstock are good places to start. Use search terms like \u2018drone images\u2019, \u2018drone videos\u2019 and \u2018aerial photography\u2019 to find submissions from drone photographers. <\/p>\n

3. Travel More<\/h2>\n

You can only shoot the same location for so long before you run out of things to photograph. Start travelling more with your drone, looking for interesting scenes and landscapes. <\/p>\n

Sometimes you can find inspiration in the unlikeliest of places. So don\u2019t limit yourself to famous locations. Just hit the road and see what you find. <\/p>\n

If possible, you can even get out of the country. But remember to check the drone rules of a particular country before going there. <\/p>\n

4. Browse Instagram<\/h2>\n
