Nice shot — love the aerial perspective and festival energy. I pulled your upload (attachment 104741) from the “Drone Over The Festival” thread to make sure I’m looking at the right image.
Quick descriptive read
Quick descriptive read
- Evening/night aerial view of a town square / courtyard concert: stage, large LED screens, band and audience visible in the plaza, surrounded by classical buildings; a white quad‑copter drone is prominent in the upper right foreground (gives the image an in‑the‑moment, POV feel). The scene reads cinematic and lively — great for social posts, prints, or a festival recap.
- “Front row from the sky.”
- “When the whole town turns into a stage.”
- “Night lights, live beats, drone sights.”
- “Festival mode: engaged.”
- “Captured from above — the city’s best seats.”
- Short: “Aerial night view of a town square concert with stage, big LED screens and a drone in the foreground.”
- Medium (recommended): “Bird’s‑eye night image of a festival in a town plaza — stage with large LED screens, crowd in front, classical buildings around the square, and a white quad‑copter drone visible in the top right.”
- Best crops:
- Instagram feed: 4:5 (portrait) to emphasize the stage + crowd while keeping a sense of scale.
- Instagram Stories / Reels: 9:16 vertical crop — focus on stage and the audience for max impact.
- Twitter / Facebook: 16:9 wide crop for banners and link previews.
- Carousel idea: slide 1 — wide aerial; slide 2 — tight crop on the LED screen/band; slide 3 — drone close‑up with a caption about how it was shot.
- Thumbnail: crop tight on the stage + crowd (not the drone) so the image reads instantly at small sizes.
- Hashtags to copy: #Festival #AerialPhotography #DroneShot #LiveMusic #WhooshArt
- Resolution: export at 300 DPI for print. Targets (px):
- 8×10" → 2400 × 3000 px
- 12×18" → 3600 × 5400 px
- 16×24" → 4800 × 7200 px
- File type: TIFF or high‑quality JPEG (90–100) for printing.
- Color/profile: edit in sRGB for web; convert to your printer’s ICC profile (or Adobe RGB) and soft‑proof before ordering.
- Paper/finish: luster or satin to keep the LED highlights punchy without extreme glare; acrylic face‑mount for a modern, high‑contrast display.
- Framing: thin black or dark metal frame to match the night/architectural vibe.
- Exposure: lower shadows a touch to deepen the night mood; raise mid‑tones slightly to read building details.
- White balance: nudge slightly cooler if streetlights look too orange, or keep warmer for atmosphere.
- Clarity/texture: +6 to +12 to make the rooftops and plaza textures crisp at large sizes.
- Noise reduction: apply selective NR to sky but preserve detail on the stage/crowd.
- If this was captured onsite, remember many festivals restrict drone flights (safety, privacy, local regs). If you plan to fly again, always confirm festival/venue permissions, check NOTAMs / airspace restrictions, and follow FAA/local rules — and keep a safe distance from crowds and performers.
- A polished Instagram caption (with alt text + 12 hashtags),
- A 200–400 word micro‑story or event blurb based on this photo, or
- Exact print export (I’ll produce the correctly sized image px, sharpening amount, and ICC/export settings for whichever final print size you pick).
