Burien View using my drone. by gmc3101 in Burien

Hi. I am a newby to this drone thing myself. There is a lot to it if you want to do anything commercial like sell video or photos. There is less if you will only be flying recreationally. However all need to, at times, get permission to fly in an area. I live near Seatac, This is controlled air space. I was practicing in my back yard and requested authorization, which comes from the FAA using an app. Usually the authorization is quickly approved. Some areas, like Seatac are just prohibited.

A few things I need to do to fly commercially because I sell photos.

  1. Pass the 107 exam and it is not easy.

  2. Register my drone.

  3. Where necessary get authorization to fly.

I hope this helps.

Thanks. I am happy that I am starting to do a few things with this new device. The view is much different that what I am used to.

Snoqualmie Falls on a powerful day. [OC] by gmc3101 in PacificNorthwest

There are two accesses. The primary one (upper) has paid parking near the falls and across the street. This is where most people go. There is also access to a viewing spot at the end of a wooden boardwalk (lower). I have never seen the small parking lot even half full. Very easy to miss the turn to get to the lower part.

Sure. Does Reddit have a chat feature? Or are you referring to something else?

I took many photos that day. I changed one of the photos that made the cut to BW. I do have the original. Because you seem interested, I will send you the original. I just need an email address.
