A few years ago, I took some aerial images of Shiprock. This is one that I did not process at that time.

Sweet light on this formation - you must have had some amazing shots from this session to leave this one behind for processing.

I am not sure what I was thinking, Alan. Thanks for the kind comment.
This is a stunning image Doug.

Thank you, Jim.
Shiprock rises 1,583 feet above the desert floor. How high can drones fly?

Thank you for the honor of Featured Post, Jim
About 500’ from where you launch it.

400 feet above ground level is the legal limit.

Providing the Navajo tribe has no flight restrictions the definition for commercial drone flights is 400' above ground level below the drone. This means if you are flying 400' above the ground you are allowed to follow the contours of the ground as it rises as long as you are still within 400' of the ground. In this case you will be considerably closer to Shiprock than the view from this fixed wing aircraft window.

The scenery and POV are really nice, but the light is really special. Thanks for sharing.

Doug, this is some gorgeous lighting, I love the way you framed the Shiprock & the ridge, the contrast between warm & cold tones worked very well.

Thank you, Oliver. Sometimes you just get lucky with the light. This was one of those times.
