I'm Now Officially A Certified Commercial Drone Pilot!

I finally bought a drone! And bigger news... I recently passed my Part 107 Commercial Drone Pilot License Test. I am now legal to make $$$ flying the drone!

This has been a long time coming, my real estate photography clients have been wanting me to provide drone photography services for more than a couple of years. Well, this old dog finally learned a new trick. And I love flying the drone! In the US, you are not legally allowed to make $ with a drone, unless you have the certification. I am very happy to add drone photography to the list of photo services that I offer.

Here are a few of my new drone shots. I hope to get out and shoot many many more. It feels good every time I get new photo gear, and it always motivates me to get new images of the place I live and love.

Yup. It's an important one if you want to avoid serious fines in the US.
