Fair enough, I have a weird disdain for drones in public spaces. They’re pretty annoying. That may be where some of my resentment is coming from. Sorry to be a hater! Pretty cool angle.

Yeah that’s totally understandable. I took this on my way to work at 8:15 am in the parking lot for the hiking area so there wasn’t a single person around. I usually just fly it around my property (I live on 15 acres at the end of a private dead end road which abuts forest) but I’m very careful to not be a nuisance with it when I’m off my own land. I don’t want to ruin anyone else’s enjoyment of these peaceful places with the buzzing of the propellers.

Ha I'm the same way, I only fly when I'm absolutely certain there's nobody around or over my own property or friend's property. I'm also afraid of some random person yelling at me for "spying" on them from 400' up even though I'm flying over public areas, and legally can fly anywhere that's not restricted by the faa. So far though the only times I've run into people it was a positive experience; they've loved it and wanted to see the photos.

How are folks supposed to get these shots without a drone? I've seen some amazing photos taken with drones.
