DJI Neo footage of the Blue Boat Shed on the Swan River in Crawley, Perth,  Western Australia, taken on 2 March 2025. Some footage taken from Kings  Park. Perth city and South Perth are also visible.

Nice footage!

Lovely location.  That's some great footage for the Neo.

Thank you! I've only just started and am still getting the hang of things. Getting the exposure settings right is the thing I need to work on most. Some of the boathouse shots were pretty badly overexposed and I'm also learning how to deal with that when editing.

Nice flying.

Nice flying.

Thanks! Still very new to this.

That boat shed is one of the most photographed buildings in Western Australia and there's almost always people on the walkway. I had to wait AGES to do the to-and-fro walkway bit! I actually had the drone in the air about to go forward when some guy just barged past, with his family in tow.

I can imagine,    popular places get like that don't they.

Nice place. Would've been amazing if the door had opened and you'd flown through!

Excellent footage from the NEO - well done

You're very welcome.  Practice does make perfect.  I hope you have a wonderful week.

Lovely footage

Thank you to everyone for the kind words!

Nice video, and pleasing backing track. Strange that there was only the one boat shed on that bay. Former lifeboat station, perhaps?

Thanks! Not much call for lifeboats on the Swan river, it's very calm and shallow. Plenty of sharks, but they are not usually big enough to eat anyone. Information about the shed (and more drone footage - not mine) can be seen here.
