So I opened a maps website with 360 panoramic images and saw views like this:

Sunrise, shadows and fog. Just some aerostat took a photo and it’s beautiful. But I very rarely see aerial photos! There are so many landscape photographers, but they all shoot from their perspective. So why isn’t aerial photography as popular?

    In the US, is kinda surprising how many places restrict drones. Any government property, national parks, within x miles of an airport, etc.

      I totally agree with banning drones in national parks. I don’t want to hear drones buzzing about while I’m hiking, and I definitely don’t want people harassing wildlife with them.

      I was shocked that micro drones in the US are only allowed to fly up to 400 feet. In Canada I can fly mine up to 500 meters.

        It’s because controlled class E airspace goes down to 500’ AGL at the lowest here.

      Well when people kept crashing drones into thermal features in Yellowstone, they locked that shit down in a hurry.

      And part 107 certification needed for professional work.

      Remote is tracking.

      Sad how bad it has got for no reason 😥

        RID is built into almost every drone made in the last 3 years. A 107 is not difficult and frankly everyone should go through some kind of training.

        As for the restrictions comment. There are a lot of fences on the ground restricting where you can walk. And I can show you how to fly just about anywhere. All you need to do is know who to ask.
