Platinum Virginia Beach, VA

There aren't a lot of beach front areas to fly on VA Beach (Lots of controlled airspace) but the north end seemed like a perfect fit.

Nice one roar, and a great time of the day to fly.

Dawn is always the best

Boy that was relaxing...were they dolphins at about 40 seconds?....Did you try to get lower for better shots?..Do you have any idea of your altitude while they were in your lens?

My guess is about 100 - 150 feet. Having been in numerous situations when flying a drone and having dolphins swim by (Southampton NY, Strathmere NJ, Palm Beach FL, Big Sur CA, Dewey Beach DE, and Virginia Beach VA) They are hard to track at times. They go under and bam they are 1000 yards away.

I never like getting too low around wildlife but in this case I might have been able to get lower.

Very nicely done. Nice capture of the warm golden hour lighting on the homes.
