London/England is okay… so much to explore.
I’ll just tell a story… my daughter was so surprised at me as she got me a fridge magnet 6 years ago.
Walking up to this bridge to cross over the Thames… was not thinking much of anything except to get to the big wheel (London Eye) and I see people posing in this medium strip .. I thought… what’s wrong with them! Grin

All I saw was a stand alone ugly square brick building with a clock up top.
Yep… that was Big Ben. And took me by surprise as I wasn’t expecting to see that…
Hence my daughter was annoyed as I had the fridge magnet she gave me Grin

Now it really did look like nothing special from where I first saw it… but later on big wheel… saw all the rest of building behind the clock and it did look more significant.

So basically, what you are saying, is that you need to throw away your Canon and get yourself a proper drone…

Something like a DJI Mini Pro… same size as your camera when folded..

Funny you mentioned that… I was actually looking at prices of insta360 invisible selfie sticks recently.

just testing - This is a drone pic that I've had to take down from aprox 9m to 250kb ish

but anyway - it gives you an angle that you don't often see - also with drones you can move around the entire object to give the best lighting etc...

a bit like being on a 360* Ferris wheel but with your feet still on the ground - in fact with that shot I was sitting in my car about 300 meters away

Drones are fantastic! For sports, for weddings, creative viewpoints and amazing scenery shots… I would love to learn how to use it but I’m always worried it will run out of power or something go wrong and it will just drop in the water etc Grin

Maybe I will go look at some eventually and consider it… it really would take photography to a whole new level.

proper drones these days use satellite positioning and self hovering.

So if you let go all the controls it just hovers where its at

You can put in the settings that when the power is too low it returns to home where it took off.

You can launch them yourself or you can press a button to Self Launch.

I use the DJI Air 3 - it has sensors all round so that it doesn’t smash into things and goes around.

Bigger shops like the D1 stores have Demo Drones usually and/or they’ll show you how they fly etc.

One of the things though, the basic controllers use your phone to operate and take shots - i use an older iPhone 7 and its a strain on the CPU - so im going to spend the extra money and get the SR2 controller that has its own CPU and Screen

That’s good info I will take on board… may have given me a bit of confidence to go look to buy one now!
Then my new topic will be … photos from above! Grin

Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) drops charges against Muslims who drove with Palestinian flags in London, while calling from a megaphone on local Muslim men to rape Jewish women and girls in support of Palestine.

But if you say 'piss off back to Pakistan' you will have the full force of the ass of a law bear down on you.

I don’t mind flags waving about to show support for a cause, but they totally lost at the “rape women” part. That’s called inciting criminal behaviour and yet the courts drop charges?
If you call for support to protest against anything here in Oz…. the cops come to your house and arrest you… even if the event hadn’t taken place!
