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?

Laws and anxiety.

I love the idea of a drone. But getting a little bold and ending up with a $600 drone in the lake or stuck in the woods makes me think otherwise.

That and the United States pure hatred of drone users, and also the drone users themselves who dont respect said laws or boundrys set which will only make said laws WORSE.
