              Thanks, drones can be a nuisance but the drone itself is not the problem, it is the operator. As technology advances we encounter more things to be concerned over. I imagine that the local species were quite upset when the first gas-powered vehicle rumbled over the savanna.

              Earlier last year someone was operating a drone over a Reniassance Fair in Central Russia only to have it speared out of the sky.

                Robert, the FAA controls the airspace over your property and there is no set limit to how high your rights extend. Drones over a specific weight must be registered with the FAA (in the US). To register you must agree to keeping the drone under 400 ft, not fly over people and not within 5 miles of an airport.

                You might be in the wrong if you shoot a drone out of the sky that is there for legal purposes such as law enforcement, aerial mapping or surveying, inspection or even being used for commercial purposes.

                I think that the point of the law is if the drone is harassing you, you have a right to take action, However, your interpretation of harassment and someone els’s are the things that keep lawyers employed.

                  Macro is great for limited dof.

                    Judging by the results, the risk was well taken. Great shot.

                      Thanks, it was even prettier in the ‘golden hour’. I had to sell it because I lost my contract and had to take 50% pay cut. Couldn’t afford it anymore. Someday I will have an SS (I hope).

                        My 2002 Z28. Sadly, I had to sell it.

                                It is hard to pick one favorite, usually it is one that I just finished working on. In the last few days I have been revisiting my San Miguel shots. Here is my favorite at the moment largely because of the colors.

                                Street Life, San Miguel

                                  Oh my gosh! I didn’t even realized that my picture was selected. Thanks to all for the great comments.

                                  Kent, Uelsmann works solely with film and his images are created in the darkroom. I have very much admired his work being a student of photography long before digital myself.

                                  Thank you for the recognition.

                                    I am doing all this on an iPad using Photoshop Mix mostly. Here is the latest incarnation of Ghost Story.

                                      I came up with the title after making the pic. Per your suggestion I modified it to this with some fog added.

                                          Hi Mist, I’m not sure what you mean by push him up. Make him larger? Smaller? Make him higher in the frame or lower?

                                          Thanks!
