While I've read that in some cities the parks might have a ban (and I respect that), you can simply move onto the street next to the park and you're presumably legal, as I've never heard of any US jurisdiction not allowing drone operation from a public street. Yes? No? Help to educate me if I'm...

As a photographer, my question is under what conditions and camera settings was the photograph taken? Was this a night photo? What was the shutter speed? What was the ISO setting? The image seems slightly blurry which can occur with a slow shutter speed, especially if the camera and/or subject...

WOW!

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is governed by the BLM, so that’s why it’s legal to fly there, which I’ve also done. Factory Butte also sits on BLM lands, and I flew there last October. Nice work! My only suggestion is to shoot closer to golden hour so that the colors are richer and...

I’m a professional photographer. You’ll need a “property release.” The release will need to be signed by the property owner(s) and you. To ease the process, the property release, in your case, could state that you are the only person/commercial interest who will use the image; it will also...

Kia ora, mate! I'm from the US but will be in New Zealand for February & March. We lived in Invercargill for a year in 2012-13. I'm planning on bringing my Mini 4 with me for the trip. Lots of tramping planned in Fiordlands and other places.

Ever since I first saw England’s canals about forty years ago, I thought that this would be a nice way to venture through the countryside. Well done!

The Navajo Nation does not permit drones in its Tribal Parks, that is clear from their website. Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation Check it out! There are signs at Monument Valley tribal park that say no drones, but you won't see them much of anywhere else on the reservation. However, there...

I took my drone to Iceland a couple of years ago, but the weather was frequently too poor for me to fly. You got some great footage!

As a photographer, this is one of those locations that is on my bucket list. But, you really gave it great, new look with the drone - thank you!

My video was probably two to three minutes.

That’s provided by Lumalab, not me. I agree it’s cool!

I try to check the state & local drone laws prior to flying somewhere new to me. Sometimes, though, I realize that those state & local laws conflict with FAA authorities. My attitude is that the FAA laws frequently are the overriding law and that it will be up to the local authority to attempt...

Very cool!

WOW, just WOW!
