I’ve learned you can’t see everything from the ground, so a few years ago I learned to fly a drone to get some unique perspectives on the Southwest. The images are often compelling, and you just can’t get these photos any other way. Many of the photos here were taken with a DJI Air 2S drone, and a DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone. I’ve recently replaced it with a DJI Air 3S with an improved camera and flight characteristics.
