Let me guess - you used a bloody great big selfie stick to get the perspective?

Very beautiful, Rajan!
I sometimes think there may be only a half dozen photographers in the world who should be permitted to use drones. You are definitely one of them.

Rajan, these are beautiful and I enjoyed the other photos about the site and surroundings. You are quite skilled with drone photography!

Paulo, Bill, Eric, and Sean - thank you very much.

Just yesterday DJI announced an upgrade. The sensor in the new release (Phantom 4 Pro) is now 20 MP. By the time they get to 30MP I predict all drones will be banned worldwide :-).

The other day a plane landing in Lisbon had a problem with a drone flying nearby. The unregulated use of this stuff can be dangerous, in the wrong hands.

As for selfies, see below, for some Lisbon stories:

Very beautiful, Rajan!

Yes, impressive compositions considering the method. Must be tricky.

 Hi Rajan, extremely well done on both the photos and the video. the sharpness is just incredible! I'm still plodding along with a Vision 2+ and had for a brief moment considered the new Inspire 2 but then realized the $3,000 asking price was with out a camera  :(

Kevin,

DJI just announced an upgrade to the Phantom 4 with a 20MP Sony Exmor sensor. Now we are getting into DSLR territory. At half the price you cite. See - this announcement.

Scott - thanks.
