They won't.

If people could hack the firmware of these companies they would've done it by now, but no one has.

Except the old Magic Lantern one from decades ago.

Hope you learned from it and are now backing everything up in 3-2-1 fashion.

Three copies of your data, two local (on-site) but on different media (read: devices), and at least one copy off-site.

It's pretty useless if you want to post more than one photo. The AR of the first photo will be applied to all the other pics so if your photos are all different ARs it will not work.

It's not keyworded, but I'm not about to do that and don't want to depend upon some commercial software (Like Lightroom) to organize my photos. I like it this way.

Keywords can be stored in the EXIF (IPTC) data, no need to buy commercial software to do that.

People like seeing things at eye level, it feels unnerving seeing something from an angle we would never see ourselves so we can't relate to it.

45 degree drone shots are somewhat in the middle where you could imagine there being a mountain from where the picture was taken from but even then you'd feel like.. 'i could never see this vantage point in real life' so your mind kind of blocks the fantasy a photo at eye level can give you. Eye level photos give you that feeling that you too could one day see that shot in real life and unconsciously that gives people comfort.

Top down drone shots look awesome, for a minute or two, but then the illusion fades away and you're left with the same feeling you have when looking at a Google Maps image.

It's all about what people feel when viewing a photo and how a photo tries to continuously grab your attention or in this case lacks.

I mean, Tamron has the 17-70mm APSC 2.8 which is 24-105 on FF.

Why would anyone hire you when you don't actually do any work?

Right now I was just thinking: 1 dropbox, multiple folders and then manually mail everyone. But still a lot of work. If this can be automated that would rock...

That's about as automated as it can be. No matter what you are envisioning, you still need to manually make the folder, manually enter email addresses. No software can do that without your input telling it what to do.

You could use Google photos and let Google's Search AI group individuals automatically, but even then you need to manually add a name to a face for Google to search for, which means that if there are 120 different people you still need to ID 120 different faces manually first.

Only thing I can think of that might ease your issue is to make one single email and use BCC to email it to everyone, instead of emailing 120 people individually.

Also check out their magazine print options. They're a lot cheaper and I actually find the quality better than a normal hardcover photobook.

Here's a photo of Boston from the air taken in 1860.

Taking a photo from the air isn't something that started when drones were invented.

Buy 300 feet of bubble wrap. Use about 2 feet for packaging and the other 298 feet for pleasure.

 

We all know the big YouTube channels, the Heatons, the Carvers, the Popsys', the Grainydays etc, the so-called reddit bubble of YouTube photographers. How about we all share our favorite smaller channels and get them the recognition they deserve.

To keep away from the bubble their sub count has to be below 10k.

I'll start with a couple I recently discovered and have been enjoying going through their video backlogs.
