Thank you very much! I now look for shadows every time I fly the drone because of this shot!

Location
Scripps Pier in San Diego, CATime
This was just at the start of sunsetLighting
With the DJI Mavic Pro the low light performance isn't great, so I often try to drone before golden hour gets going too much. The late sun with the touch of gold created perfect geometric shadows with a hint of warm light.Equipment

When I drone I try to find geometric patterns. Once I saw the lines of the pier I knew the juxtaposition of the shadowless side would be perfect.Editing

Looking for the light's direction and shadows is very important for finding added dimension.
