KinkaidAlum Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 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 Share Posted June 9 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...
