Chicago Navy pier area flights

[anotherEd]

hi there fellow pilots!

I will be visiting Chicago soon and if anyone Chicagoans have any insights/suggestions for me.

I am looking to fly early morning to minimize people/traffic and I’d like to snap the following…

Chicago harbor lighthouse from Chicago lock pier?

Adler aquarium from lake front trail?

thanks in advance for your tips!

Ed

When I first thought about taking drone pictures and videos at the popular Chicago sites, I used Youtube to look up places that were already done to get a good idea of the best angles, where to start from, and how to safely shoot without getting involved with the crowds. There are a ton of videos posted, very helpful.
