    Very nice. These are really lovely - not because they were shot with a drone, but because they have lovely compositions and color tones.

    Very good use of your drone!

    I say this as a fellow drone flyer ( P3Pro) I know how challenging it can be to get great landscape captures with a drone.

    Very well done, indeed!

    These are amazing, both technically and photographically. The second and last shots show what a different perspective can offer; the third is a great abstract. The lighthouse is wonderful for many reasons. If I had a nit, it would be the inclusion of the far off coast on the top left of the lighthouse pic. That one also needs a slight horizon adjustment. Well done though, for all of these.

    ...as an olde VN helo pilot, these are inspirational! So, you're shooting stills and can see what the camera sees via your controller?

    Yes the controller screen is live view, so all camera adjustments, apperture, shutter speed and iso all show as adjusted.

    Thank you David
    I thought the left hand coast line actually helped frame the larger empty free space , i usually would take it out but liked it better in this case.
