You might want to consider getting a Wet Suit for your drone with amazing pictures like this, as you were close to getting caught in the downpour. The other thing I would be tempted to do is
contact the shipping yard and see if they want some Epic Pictures of there ships . lol Well done.

Wow! I absolutely love these shots. Very nice! I would love to have the possibility to shoot ships one day.

You're in a great place for some spectacular ships and doing a great job of capturing excellent images of them.
I wish some of those 400 metre boats visited ports near me.

Those are some cool pictures. I live on the river but have never flown that close to the ships. What drone are you flying & what are you using to edit the pics?

Thanks .
I fly before this week the DJI Spark and upgraded this week to the Mavic 2 Pro.
I shoot always DNG (RAW) and edit the pictures with Adobe Lightroom.

Really great contrast with the high color ships and containers in the foreground and the dark storm clouds behind. Love it!

Your photographs are brilliant. I hope and assume in the interests of navigational safety and the continued use of drones by many of us in ports around the world, you provided the professional courtesy of either notifying the Captain of the Port for general situational awareness or notifying each ship with a hand held VHF radio by calling via the "bridge channel" alerting them to your drone photo flights. Failing to do that, in the USA can result in fines as an unannounced drone may be deemed a threat to navigational safety and in some ports seen as a nefarious drone with other intentions other than stunning photographs.

Good point. I shoot a lot of Shipping & Maritime photography and Captains and owners absolutely HATE unknown drones buzzing around their vessels.

Thanks all
All pictures are made above the Westerschelde (Zeeland, Netherlands).
It's allowed to fly there with a drone when maintaining VLOS and with a max. attitude of 120 meter. Communication with ships is not needed. However it is forbidden to fly directly above the ships. So shots from directly above the ships are not allowed.
