Nice video, TomB. I might have shortened up each clip a bit. I really envy where you live! So much material. just go out in your back yard ( like 2 miles) and you have this wonderful desert scenery, saguaro cacti, beautiful rock formations, etc. I have to get on an airplane for the same thing.
A common thread here is that most public areas are now restricting photography of any kind. I tried to do a time lapse of Christmas lights coming on and a decorative fountain in a shopping mall and was stopped by a security guard. I wrote to the Mall office and finally secured permission. What a hassle and a P.I.T.A. (pain in the ....). There is no drone footage in the film so I will not submit it here. I am constantly torn between sneaking a quick photo session with timelapse or drone and asking permission. Asking permission usually results in a "NO."
As an addendum, I canceled a trip to Doha, Dubai, and Muscat,Oman because of extremely strict rules disallowing un-permitted drones (fines up to $10,000 and 3 year prison sentences!!). Permits are impossible to obtain.
