Photographer here, purchased a drone. I've had my drone for several months now. I purchased it for still photography, not videos. I got certified. Initially I was very timid to fly, I've taken a ton of crappy images and now I'm starting to have a little more confidence, I understand what the drone can and cannot do. My images are getting better. I had two fly-away's! Not fun but learning experiences. I'm learning to fly and take better images. Here are a few photos.

If I can help anyone take better images please message me. I will share what I have learned.

Fabulous pictures. I know what you mean with the flyaways I had one with my Mavic two pro and it was horrifying it didn’t fly far but I had no control over it and had to try to smash it into my house to get it down it took over a month to get my confidence back
 
Great shots! I especially like the bridge photos. The first one is an award winner in my book. Clearly, you have a photographers eye.
 
My son lives in SF and when covid calms down I'm headed there. His apartment has a rooftop lounge ;)
 
Curious as to why you reversed the first photo. The neon San Francisco sign is reversed. In my minds eye, I see the original image as having more impactful composition. Great photo nonetheless.

Nope, that's the correct sign direction. Its orientated so the port sign can be read by ships/boats on the bay. Also, you can see one of the letters is not lit up. The best example I saw of that was when it once spelled: PO T OF SAN FRANCISCO

Curious what happened with the two fly-aways. Would you mind sharing your experiences? TIA!!!
