Flying over reefs

During the big freeze last week in Texas I flew my drone over some reefs close to Bayou Vista near Galveston.

I think it would look better if you flew as low and slow as you are comfortable doing over the reef. Try not to harm any wildlife but flying slowly toward some birds could be interesting, especially if they take off to fly. That would look cool. And, don't forget the straight down shot, always a must to show anything that might be in the water. Good idea though. Keep shootin' Tex!

I fly a Mavic Pro 2. But all Mavics, including the Air 2, have a small wheel, top left on the controller behind where your phone sits, that allows you to tilt the camera at any angle, even straight down. If you do get the gimbal to point that way, fly slowly, or start very low looking at something specific then slow ascend. Makes a nice shot.
