From the ground, it was impossible to get an idea of what a rural land real estate property looked like due to near complete tree cover. I was out for a new rural land real estate client near the small town of Sedillo, in the east mountains area of Albuquerque, New Mexico. I took what photos I could from the ground with my Sony a7R IV, and was amazed what a difference 100 feet makes when my new drone, a DJI Mavic 2 Pro, went way up above the treelike and revealed hills, mountains, and a brilliant setting sun. This is the value drone video provides in compliment to the still photos I make from the ground, especially for rural land real estate. This is my cut of the video focusing on just the mountains and the sunset.
My latest rural land real estatedrone video and photo shoot assignment had me going to not so far away Sedillo, New Mexico for Hemingway Land Company. Not only was this the closest I have traveled for a rural land shoot, it was also one of the only times a paved road went right up to the property! This was a very nice subdivision that you would never know is there because it is hidden in a valley and then winds up to a ridge. You can get a sense of this topography in the drone video above and the aerial drone photos below.
