Fireworks!

[dannybgoode]

I have never tried to shoot fireworks before either terrestrially or otherwise but there is a rather good local display to me and given it's location I was able to plot a route so as to stay within 'the code'. Note also the display is actually at the city's policy social club so I would not have risked their attention!

Quite pleased with how they turned out...

Almost within the code but worth it.

In the code. 150m from a built up area .

The photos are quite heavily cropped and I was around 300m from the actual display.

150m away but you have to keep your altitude below 120m. The exif data indicates you were slightly above that.

I had max altitude set to 120m on the app and took these at 110m accordingly to the app.

The ground does slope down from where I was so I guess I could have miscalculated. I try and be careful about such things

Out of interest where does it show exif data in the images. Be useful to know

I opened it up in preview. Obviously that altitude is above sea level but it's easy enough to find the ground altitude of any given point.



And I also try to be careful about such things... but regularly fail.

Thank you. I’ve not seen that before - that’s useful. Still at least my friend who is a cooper has ‘liked’ the photo

Well that was interesting! ? Self incriminating off an innocent share! Maybe re-filming the video using a screen recorder might be wise, before publishing anything these days. I’m guessing that exif data in the lounge won’t land you in jail! ?

Very nicely captured.
Care to share drone model and settings ?

Just wanted to ask, are you blokes there allowed to fly at night ?
I have a little itch in the back of my head that says I may have read somewhere that you might be able to, not sure if licensed or rec pilots etc.

We aren't old enough or responsible enough to be allowed to fly at night in Australia yet. ?
