The Woodland Trust…Young People’s Forest.

Last week I was involved in a high profile launch of the Young People’s Forest near Heanor in Derbyshire with The Woodland Trust. Over a hundred young people gathered on a former coal mining site as they planted the first trees of Britain’s first Young People’s Forest.
The weather was perfect for capturing aerial views of the site which will be  transformed into a 400 acre woodland, and also for capturing an aerial shot of the young people spelling out YPF (Young People’s Forest).

Make your campsite STAND OUT from the crowd…

Over the previous year I have helped many small business’s including numerous campsites stand out from the crowd by providing them with stunning aerial photography and videography for their websites and marketing campaigns. Now that Easter is well and truly out of the way and the spring like weather has arrived isn’t it about time to make your business whether its an Airbnb rental, campsite or holiday cottage…
STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD.

As well as helping many small business’s over the year I have also helped numerous private individuals sell their homes by providing stunning interior, exterior and aerial photography for them to use for their property marketing campaigns. For more information and to discuss your photographic requirements please feel free to contact me on 07870864031.

Cost Effective Aerial Roof Inspections…

At Derby Drone Photography our drones can reach difficult areas with ease. Using a drone is quick, safe and very cost effective compared with hiring a cherry picker or expensive scaffolding . What used to be  a difficult and expensive task to undertake can now be achieved much more cost-effectively by using using our remotely piloted drone. A roof inspection using a drone is the perfect way to see if you have missing roof tiles, blocked gutters or chimneys that need repairing.

 

Provision of 4K and high resolution images of roofs, chimneys, towers,  wind turbines, church spires are now very cost effect option for business’s.

Middle Peak Quarry, Derbyshire.

There is long a history of quarrying and mining on this site in Wirksworth Derbyshire . Lead was mined here for about 2000 years, until the lead began to run out when the site changed to a limestone quarry. In the summer time  the lagoons are popular with bathers, however at some point in 2015 the water was dyed black to deter people from swimming there. This was also the case at The Blue Lagoon at Buxton, however on a recent visit the colour has returned to blue.

They call it the Blue Lagoon, and people come from far and wide to cool off in its clear waters.
Yet the flooded former quarry is so polluted that its contents are almost as toxic as bleach.
Signs close to the shoreline warn that not only is the water known to contain abandoned cars, dead animals and human waste, but it has a pH level of 11.3 – compared with 12.6 for bleach and 11.5 for ammonia.

These images make up part of a project about abandoned quarries in the midlands.

Reviews…

Over the past week I have had a couple of very positive reviews come in for my drone services on Yell.com 

“Scott came out to our campsite with his drone to take some videos of our camp site so we can put it onto our website. Our customers can really get a feel for the caravan site and where they will be camping and where the amenities are. He was very professional and communication with him was excellent. We would highly recommend him.” Liz, Middlehills  Farm Campsite, Derbyshire.
