...float by my [car] window (left). The patterned area is actually a rose garden around which the houses were built. Playing around with my drone in the Ladd's Addition neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, USA.

This is what I love about aerial photography. Views that we seldom see and an understanding that we are but a macro of nature and our world. My immediate thought, before noticing the cars down there (see, I'm already thinking I'm high... wait... that's not what I meant), was that I was looking at a macro of a butterfly's wing. Saved and faved. I need to go back to the web and study the official restrictions to drones, to see if it's worth the price of one. Would you mind telling us, Ted, what model you use?

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Nik:
I am using the DJI Phantom 3 SE, which is about the least expensive of it's higher end models. But if you can afford a DJI Mavic, I'd go with that one. In any case, the Phantom 3 SE is an absolutely great machine for a beginner like me. The DJI Phantom 3 Standard is also a good machine and runs about $100 less (if you can find one, they are discontinued), but the video shoot is not in 4k as it is with the 3SE model, and it can only go out about half mile as oppose to 2.4 miles with the SE. This article pretty much shows what needs to happen if you are a recreational user, as I assume you would be, rather than commercial. Other than that, once you register for your FAA certificate (a super easy process), you are only required to follow flight rules and have your certificate number somewhere on the machine you're flying. For me personally, I live within 5 miles of an airport, so I am required to let them know I have a drone that I will be using, how high I am likely to fly with the 5-mile restricted limit, and how far. I also have a couple of apps I use I highly recommend: B4UFly--from the FAA-- and Hover. Hope that helps.
