Was done with an air rifle, making it a little bit better, but it still very much surprised me due to the very same reasons…

Drone pilot from Germany here, they have no place hovering over your property, more strictly even they’re not allowed to fly in any way that allows them to view your garden from above. You can shoot down the drone and it’s their problem note that this is in Germany not the US (which surprised me tbh).

However, that said, could be that it’s the same pilot again and again, even if it’s different birds. Normally they are very cooperative, just ask them to stop and they’ll apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you :) I was quite smitten with the various lines criss-crossing the image so I thought it is worth posting

Can we agree to just vote the post to oblivion where it belongs?

Yes

Found the picture when going through my the images from our last holiday, it’s from August 2023

To give you some idea of the scale: if you look closely the small gray dots in the middle of the right hand side are humans. The pool with the smooth surface at 12-2 o’clock is in the tip over 2m deep, showing his incredibly clear the water there is. We went swimming in that pool, while the waves with roughly a meter amplitude were crashing in from the left. It is filled with schools of young fish and crabs.

Interesting tidbit of information! Also thanks for the compliment, appreciate it very much.

thanks for the compliment, feel free to use it, did the same thing :)

Thank you!

Yes, dji Mini 3 with a polarization filter. This is pretty close to how it came out of the camera, not much post processing except for making the shadows a tiny bit darker

I took your comment and Obi’s, and combined them in the editing d version below Obi’s comment.

Thanks so much for the constructive feedback and the praise!

Thanks for the elaborate feedback, it is highly appreciated. You’re definitely right about the lines getting more appeal if they went directly from one corner to the other. I’m not sure whether I understand your comment about the subject lining up everything yet. I’d totally get it if the lines were leading somewhere, but struggle to lead anywhere with them being all parallel… I’ll ponder it some more and will try different approaches to the topic of a subject when I’m out taking photos the next time, thank you so much!

Thank you :)
