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?

I bought a drone.

Here they're banned in:
All Municipal Parks
All Provincial Parks
All National Parks

Not allowed to fly them over people, roads, or buildings. not to mention anywhere near an airport or heliport.

Pretty much the only place you can legally fly them is from private land. I honestly can't figure out where i can fly this thing without risking huge fines.

It's illegal to do 90+ on highways, but people still do it.
