At first, when I bought the drone, all I was thinking was “I want to go higher!” and so I was just going up to see the whole area.. Kinda cool, but what’s really the point of that when you want to capture some non-postcards photos? There isn’t. It's just cool to get the bird-eye view of what surrounds you, that's it. It took me a while, but I slowly started to understand that it didn’t matter how high I could go, perspective is the most important thing (same as with the camera!); in this specific case, I used my drone not because it can fly to 271849 meters, but because this piece of ice was in the middle of the lake and I couldn’t reach it in any other way. I was actually flying at man’s height. I saw these cracks from the shore, and I thought they would create some cool patterns on the snow. I really like how it turned out! ##BIO: Leonardo is a landscape photographer from Tuscany, Italy, and he's been a photographer for almost a decade now. He was born in 1993, and since he was really young he always tried to spend as much time as possible in nature. Growing older, with photography he found the perfect means to transmit his passion for nature to others. His style always revolved more around the in-the-field part than the post production side; he's convinced that the bigger part of a photography creation is the study before and in-the-field, rather than outstanding post production skills. He won prizes in many international nature photography contests such as Montphoto Awards, the International Landscape Photographer of the Year, the Memorial Maria Luisa and so on. What he aims to do every time he’s on the field is to exploit the knowledge he learnt over the years and the conditions that Mother Nature will grace him with in order to convey emotions, narrate a story and achieve a fascinating, natural visual result in all his pictures. He spends most of his time leading workshops in Italy as well as many other European countries; in particular, he keeps visiting and shooting the Arctic regions as those are the ones he loves the most. There are many photographers that had a great influence on Leonardo over the years, but probably Vincent Munier, Fortunato Gatto and Cristobal Serrano are the ones that really inspired him and led him through his photographic career. ##LICENSE: The holder of this NFT is free to display the associated file privately and publicly, including in commercial and non-commercial settings, and in groups with an unlimited number of participants.
