I'm looking at locations to get long exposure stills of traffic. I want to do this properly, safely, and legally. One of the best locations in my area has multiple onramps almost forming a cloverleaf, and there are canals for reflections, etc. One thing I DO NOT want to do is pose any type of a distraction hazard to vehicles. I plan to do this at dusk, as per suggestions in another post. Scouting on the ground reveals a viewpoint with 2 converging onramps over water, and there are no FAA restrictions for the area. But I am concerned about proximity & visibility to drivers. I find the M2P to become pretty inconspicuous at and above around 100'. But I'm used to flying in remote areas and want to be extra cautious for this project. I do NOT intend to fly OVER traffic, as the spots I have considered should produce the perfect view from a straight up vertical flight. Straight up, take photos, return straight down. Will only fly in low wind. And I have already noted overhead wires, etc. Any general suggestions for this type of flight plan? Recommended distances from highways? Thanks.
