I had made a New Years Resolution to do more photography, especially with my Drone.......

.....and then comes Lockdown 3.0 in the UK.

I have looked at the rules, and I don't think Drone flying could reasonably be allowed.

**** and blast.

Any other thoughts? At least there is - hopefully - the prospect of being immunised on the horizon, but it will feel like a long wait

Maybe you could try flying from inside your Car just to provide as a means to get some pictures and practice , while keeping as safe as you can.

Gear to fly your DJI in the Rain and land on Water.

I'm a member of a facebook SAR group for lost dogs. A posting there this morning said:

> Perhaps surprisingly, one of the exemptions to the “lockdown” rules introduced today is to allow participation in charitable or voluntary activities so the rules would not prevent our searches.
> The cold temperatures might, though !

So not exactly ideal for photography, but might be a way to get some flying in over the next few weeks...

Yes exactly - I've never been called, but they do have quite a lot of success stories.

It's a private group you can apply to:

Using the drone to search for lost dogs?

Since were thinking outside the box , there are a lot of times when I want to fly and there are just to many people in the area , which can be a problem both flying and on the ground.

However when it Rains , they all clear out and I have the place to myself .
Just the threat of Rain is enough for people to vacate and be safe. .

Something to consider

Yes I should've said in my first post - it is a group specifically for drone SAR of lost dogs in the UK!
