While flying today I noticed some farmer machinery working.

Coincidentally the farmer walked by with his dog and was interested in what I was doing.
(I was about to land the Mavic so it was pretty close)
I showed him the screen and asked where he was living. It turned out to be the farm on the other side of the field, so I asked if he wanted a picture of the place.
He liked that, so I flew to the place and took a picture.
I just sent it to him and got permission to publish it.

One happy farmer and one happy pilot

An old tradition reborn.  Pilots would go door to door selling pictures of farms.  

Well done and nice picture, thank you!

Good story and a very nice photo.

Good idea!
Except for I'm not allowed to fly commercially without any licence

I will try that.
Have you got some comparison shots (like 1 capture vs the same shot taken from a pano)?

Great pic! Are you interested in getting certified/licensed commercially? Being in the USA i have no idea what laws there are for your country.

Great PR, good for you !!

Not yet. Since the 'cheap' licence (called ROC Light) is close to useless.
You are even more limited in your options than without a licence.
The only positive is that you can earn money with your footage.
Maybe when the new EU legislation is in place and the limitations stay the same between 'non commercial' and 'ROC light' licence)

Nice.
I will add it to my 'things to test list'
When I am 95% confident about my flying I will start working down the list

Nice shot
