KinkaidAlum Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 These are great but I especially love the MFA with downtown in the distance. Wowzers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBTX Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 That we had a drone, lol. Nothing in the park area around it says "no drones" and we had checked with the museum beforehand, just in case. Museum had no complaints. Probably just a security guy on his high horse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere on the MFAH website (I don’t remember exactly where) is the statement that the museum campus is a “drone-free zone.” It’s also a tripod-free zone. I had no trouble because I was flying the drone from the southeast corner of Binz and Fannin Streets… completely off the MFAH campus but within direct sight of my drone.

Plus, the sign in the Glassell courtyard says no "professional photography without permit." Which, not professionals and we asked permission. 2 hours ago, MidCenturyMoldy said: I had no trouble because I was flying the drone from the southeast corner of Binz and Fannin Streets… completely off the MFAH campus but within direct sight of my drone. Ours was actually off Montrose when he complained. Eitherway, it's whatever. Excellent photos that you took! The while lot is lovely! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still relatively new with the drone part. Not so new with the photographing and post-processing part. DJI Mavic Air 2. I chose it because at the time it had (I think) the highest camera resolution (48 megapixels) for the money AND the drone is smart enough to prevent me from crashing or losing it. The Mavic Air 3 has a better camera and probably more bells and whistles, but it’s also pricier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 DJI occasionally does sales on some of their drones, they had several on sale during Christmas. They also sell refurbished ones. https://www.dji.com/?from=store-nav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
