@Darkroomlabs The sky is the only limit using drones to take pictures. That high attitude perspective is useful and beautiful.

Hi @Darkroomlabs 

Nice shot , what drone do you have?

I been flying almost for 10 years and safety is really important, for flying safely I always do research of every place I go, that means understanding the local rules, it even changes from every city in the same country my research includes visiting https://fly-safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query  for making sure you are not flying near an airport or heliport. 

Also knowing your drone RC in case you need to press some emergency/pause button or in a worst-case scenario forcing it to turn off, the amount of people that fly without reading the manual is amazing these days.

My favourite place to fly is Nemesio Diez Stadium, I fly with a press accreditation but nowadays I've seen so many drones over the stadium that it's starting to be a safety concern.
