My first drone photo

Taken from above the South Downs near Lewes, United Kingdom. Used an ND filter. Looking forward to doing some coastal landscape photography this summer.

Nice photo. The tree lines on the left would be fun to explore. Welcome to the forum.
 
Nice shot! Just curious why you chose to use an ND filter? My understanding is that ND filters are used only for video?

You are correct. The ND filters are mostly for video. However, if it is really bright and you need to try and keep your aperture in the lower 2.8 to 4 range then maybe you would need an ND filter. That would be the only reason though. Where you may need a filter for stills would be when you need a Polarizing filter.
