I'd buy that photo
You should start watermarking them, they are terrific photos.

Cheers Ken, I'd gladly sell you it but I'm not allowed to, apparently, as I don't have the CAA approval for paid drone work.

More of my work at www.DrawsWithLight.co.uk if you're interested.

Very impressive, I love all of them. You should check out the DJI Official Facebook pages. One of our DJI guys Barry Blanchard would love your photography as he has a similar style as you.I wish I had your skill.

The rules are so badly written you could argue flying it anywhere is wrong... but ok

1. Within 50m of a vehicle not under your control (assuming you hadn't placed them under your controll and done a safety briefing, and assuming the law implies lateral distance not a 50m bubble).

2. Flying over anything - CAA recommended hiring a helicopter for anything that requires you to fly directly over buildings, vehicles, people etc. Or have a very good safety case in place. By default flying directly over endangers the person or vehicle below.

3. Within 150m of a congested area - a farmers field is substantially used for commercial purposes so could be argued to be 'congested'. While people are working in the field it's also a place of work.

Personally I think it's all crazy, as long as you are being responsible, respectful and as far as your actions go safe it's all ok. I promised myself not to talk about this rubbish anymore, makes me sad

Are you going to get your Permission from CAA? Relaxes some of the rules, and if you do the paper work exercise you can get all the distances cut right down to 5m or less.

The farmer was happy for me to get some shots, I did explain what I wanted to do. We exchanged details as he wanted to see the images. Everything else is fair comment I guess, the more I read about the laws makes me think there's nothing you can photograph!!

Yes, looking at doing the CAA qualification with Heliguy. On the verge of signing up but I just can't seem to prise my wallet out of my Yorkshire trousers!!!!

Love these agricultural ones, the patterns of the crops contrast so well with the cleared areas from the harvester.

I always enjoy your shots, very nice.  I'm in the Midwest and had never seen it from this perspective.  It amazes me how straight these folks go...heck, I can't even mow my yard straight!

Awesome pics dude, you really have an eye for good shots, checked out your site too, some really really good work.. Harvester was out not far from here a few days ago, I was stuck at work and thought it would be too awkward to go ask him for permission, which is a shame. Keep up the brilliant work dude, pics are inspirational

Oh, and a lot of farm stuff now is done using GPS, right down to spraying the right weedkiller/fertiliser measured out according to satellite views. Drive themselves with a tablet for viewing while the farmer sits back on his machinery - I think it's a different app to dji-go though :p
