Following up from last summer. I passed the FAA exam, so Part 107 certified, and my company provides insurance as I sometimes use the drone for work. I had posted some images of commercial buildings on Youtube, but after some research, learned that could open me to liability even if I wasn't paid for them. That's what pushed me to obtain the certification and insurance. I've since flown a bunch in restricted airspace, you just have to figure out the authorization/waiver maze and make sure to overcommunicate.
State parks, national parks, and many other similar (picturesque) areas are off limits to drones. Some areas do not permit taking off or landing within their boundaries, but the airspace above is otherwise open, subject to federal rules.
I have a bunch of nice images from Satsop, former nuclear power plant project, and the coast. you will be surprised at the things you can find from above that are not obvious from the ground, even in seemingly mundane locations.
