I’m not a drone photographer. Whenever I try to fly a drone i turn into a kamikaze pilot and everyone around me runs frantically around trying to find a safe place. I can’t think of many drone shots I’ve taken that I really like. Not more than a handful really.

This one is a bit intriguing. When i look at this image it almost looks like a frozen puddle, not more than maybe a meter from edge to edge. I had forgotten i even took this image so when I saw it in my folders, years later, I immediately thought it was something I had shot on the ground. To my surprise it was taken with a drone and the dimensions where insane compared to what I imagined.

One of the frames I took had a bit of land in it. And to my surprise it showed our van parked in the frame. These ice patterns are HUGE!

See that tine van down in the corner? That gives an idea of the dimensions. I was blown away, both by the scale and the fact that i had overlooked this image for years.
