Hi @Ras Marcus, Welcome to the UAV Coach Community Forum! These are really cool, your 1st and third image have a great angle with sun reflection aligning with the pier. When I am taking sunrise or sunset pictures, I like to use the PolarPro ND4 filter. With the smoke in the sky, there is going to be more noise if you try increasing the exposure of the sky. I would use a mask to edit the sky as a separate layer and increase the highlights, this make the sun brighter and add more light to the sky.

Directly over the park and out over the lake you will see the numbers vary from 100 to 300 feet AGL. This means that you can request authorization to fly in that specific grid of airspace up to but not over the specified altitud

Hi @Megan, Welcome to the UAV Coach Community Forum! The weight of the drone determines if it needs registered. You can find all of the drone laws for a hobbyist on this page: https://uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-united-states-of-america/ There are many apps out there like AirMap that will tell you what kind of airspace you are in and it makes the process of knowing where to fly and where not to fly really easy. Using a drone to capture abandoned locations is a great way to get a new perspective. I have seen others use drones for exploring abandoned places and it always looks awesome

Hi @Alex Hazzard, Welcome to the UAV Coach Community Forum! It sounds like you use your drone for a lot of different applications. If you do not mind sharing, how has business been for you and what are your favorite types of jobs to work on? I fly a Phantom 4 Pro myself, the Phantom series is hard to beat! Looking forward to your response! - Chase
