Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are small aircrafts piloted autonomously by onboard computers or manually by a remote control. The technology of drones was revolutionized through its use for military and special operations, and commercial versions were later used in Hollywood projects with sizable budgets. Today, we are seeing more and more people using these devices as hobbyists. For seasoned cinematographers and amateur photographers alike, drones are the greatest thing since sliced bread.
By attaching lightweight cameras to UAVs, we replace the need to climb stairs and ladders as well as the need to twist our bodies in the most unnatural of positions just to capture that winning shot. The From Where I Drone Instagram account features some of the world’s best drone photography. If our eyes had no limits, surely they would see the glory captured in these images.

⚠️ Quick call to action for those living in California: _ California’s proposed drone trespass bill would seriously change the landscape for drone operators & possibly 100+ tech companies. If you have :30 seconds could you please help us in urging Governor Brown to veto bill SB 142 by this Wednesday.
