Almost crashed my drone… what was I thinking?

So I had a close call with my drone and a windmill. I thought I could stop in time, but I messed up and kept going. It could’ve gone very wrong, but luckily, no harm was done. Definitely learned something from this one.

That could’ve been either super dumb or really lucky… What’s the NSFW tag about though?

Maybe NSFD(rone)?

It wasn’t skill, I can tell you that.

But why would you even try that?

Because why not? :slight_smile:

Maybe because you want to keep your drone intact for future photos and videos?

Or, you know, avoid damaging property and getting fined?

Honestly, I don’t think it would’ve damaged much—maybe scratched the windmill. Drones aren’t exactly tanks.

@Merritt
But that’s the point. If something gets damaged, you’re liable. Drones are tagged for a reason. Was the shot really worth all the trouble?

Could’ve ripped the windmill’s sail, actually.

Or you’re just boring people with these hypotheticals.

Please don’t fly near historic landmarks unless you’re confident in your skills, even if it’s allowed.

@Hale
I was in the Netherlands once and asked a guide if I could fly a drone near the windmills at Kinderdijk. She said no, as people live in them, and filming their homes isn’t allowed without permission. Anyway, nice shot though.

@Morgan
It’s legal to photograph anything visible from public spaces. Don’t overthink it.

I hear you. I didn’t push it at the time since the guide said no. But thanks for clarifying.

Not Safe From Windmills… maybe?

Still, it’s a spectacular shot.

This shot is breathtaking.

Not sure why people are downvoting you. Sensitive souls here.
