Quite close for comfort.
The operator was looking at me what I was doing.

Oh yes, and notice the red / orange crane behind.

Looking 90 degrees in the other direction.

Thanks EJ .
I like the first image better then the second.

Cool framing, makes it seem even bigger

He certainly had a bird's eye view of your drone   Great shot.

Thanks.
I noticed it on my screen en decided to fly even closer to exaggerate it even more.

Yeah, I was hoping the crane would not move for the 2nd shot, as I was in the path and very close by.

That's a monster crane for such a small footprint of a counterweight at the bottom.  No doubt with that configuration the operator is limited as to the amount of weight he can pick up.

A lucky escape

Yeah indeed.
I did want to get close enough for this type of shot, so.....
Took my chance.

EJs Mini down under. Posted at 2-26 13:20

Scary to do, but worth it.

Montfrooij Posted at 2-26 13:29
Scary to do, but worth it.

yeah! just make sure they don't turn around while you are close

EJs Mini down under. Posted at 2-26 13:59

I was worried about that.

Montfrooij Posted at 2-27 00:28
I was worried about that.

yeah, i would be too

EJs Mini down under. Posted at 2-27 01:28
yeah, i would be too

They asked what I was doing, so they knew I was there.
But still.

Montfrooij Posted at 2-26 08:39
Yeah he was.

Hopefully they weren't Karens about it.  

Those are huge cranes in a small neighborhood.

DAFlys Posted at 2-27 04:45
Hopefully they weren't Karens about it.

It was a short conversation.
Are you flying the drone ? : Me nodding.
Personal use? : Me nodding.
He walks away.

BetterBizTech Posted at 2-27 04:50

I'm sure they were worried about inspections because they were hanging out of the building without harnasses shortly after .

Thats would make a lot of sense.

Montfrooij Posted at 2-28 07:39
Yeah, they saw it.

The drone is pretty visible I have to say.
