Aerial Photography: Capturing the Batumi Panorama from the Sky

Parasailing along the Batumi coast is more than just an adrenaline-filled experience of freedom; it’s a unique opportunity to see the Black Sea and the city skyline from an entirely new perspective. At Lady Nini, we often see guests trying to immortalize these moments with their cameras. However, taking photos while flying at such high altitudes can be quite a challenge.

How can you avoid common mistakes and return to shore with stunning shots? Let's find out.

Mistake 1: Lack of Technical Preparation

The biggest mistake beginners make is trying to adjust camera settings during the flight. Once you are in the air, your only focus should be on composition.

Tip: Set your phone or camera to photo mode while you are still on the boat, before you take off. Ensure your memory card has space and your battery is fully charged.

Mistake 2: Ignoring Composition

Many people simply point their camera down at the sea, thinking the view will automatically look beautiful. However, the best shots are captured when the horizon line and the silhouettes of Batumi’s skyscrapers are included in the frame.

What to do: Try to keep the horizon straight, not tilted. Enable the "grid" function on your phone to help with alignment. Focus on the Batumi coastline and the turquoise expanse of the sea—this contrast gives photos a special effect.

Mistake 3: Device Safety Risks

Safety is the most important aspect of parasailing. Some guests try to take photos using extended selfie sticks, which is not recommended due to high winds.

Important Tip: Use a wrist strap for your device. If your phone slips from your hand, it is virtually impossible to retrieve it from the Black Sea. At Lady Nini, we recommend holding your camera firmly with both hands and avoiding risky, awkward angles.

Top Tips for the Perfect Shot:

Lighting: Batumi’s views are most striking during the morning hours or just before sunset. Soft, warm light will give your panoramic photos a professional look.
Prioritize Video: If you find taking photos difficult, simply record high-resolution video and take screenshots of the best frames after your flight.
Perspective: Don't forget yourself! Take a selfie with the Batumi panorama in the background. It is the best proof that you were truly "in the sky."
