When I would have an assignment (in my career) to photograph the remains of an Indian earthlodge village--raised rings of soil and usually a shallow fortification ditch--it would be best to shoot in the early morning and late afternoon, with my camera elevated as much as possible. Drone photography was reaching graphic usability only in my latter years at work, so I didn't have access to camera equipment like yours. Instead I used my personal Little Giant ladder with two swing-out platforms, one at the top (opposite me) for my tripod and the other, on my side, three rungs down for me to comfortably stand. This would place my camera approximately 16 feet off the ground and, since even a few extra feet of elevation can make a big difference in landscape photos, the shots I took of these sites were so much better than all the previous attempts. I look at this photo of yours and think three things: it's a lovely view, very calming... it's also a difficult shot on or off a tripod, getting this much of the scene without shooting it from a hill... and you made it look so easy. Imagine trying to use digital photography without software. No Photoshop? Oy!

Breath taking view and such rich colours - like the reflections in the water & the way the curving river leads your eyes up to that sky

It looks great to me Ted. What was the greatest height your drone received. I watched the video and it was good with good music.
Very successful outing I would say.

I got it up to 305 feet.

Although not taken with a DSLR, the result is excellent, Ted!
