When I moved back to PA, I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do with my time. Middle of nowhere doesn’t offer much for entertainment. But I had made a crack at a friend who went on and on about his drone photography when he was living in Hawaii.
“Is this your way of saying kites are too basic?” I asked him. Well, it felt funnier when I first thought of it.
As it turns out, kites in fact are too basic for me. I bought a DJI. Specifically, I got the DJI Mini SE 2, mostly because of this review from The Verge. It was light and fast and easy enough to get started with.
Those last two shots, I had them framed.
Couple of things I learned:
- Drones are wildly fun to fly
- Telephone polls come out of nowhere and hit your drone
- Trees are actually easy to maneuver around with foliage
- Pocket drones do not fit in your pocket
I can’t wait for spring and summer. Pennsylvania has some gorgeous landscapes to capture.
