A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Why isn't aerial photography as popular? (alien.top)

So I opened a maps website with 360 panoramic images and saw views like this:

Sunrise, shadows and fog. Just some aerostat took a photo and it's beautiful. But I very rarely see aerial photos! There are so many landscape photographers, but they all shoot from their perspective. So why isn't aerial photography as popular?

And part 107 certification needed for professional work.

Remote is tracking.

Sad how bad it has got for no reason 😥

RID is built into almost every drone made in the last 3 years. A 107 is not difficult and frankly everyone should go through some kind of training.

As for the restrictions comment. There are a lot of fences on the ground restricting where you can walk. And I can show you how to fly just about anywhere. All you need to do is know who to ask.
