Location
This photo was taken with my DJI Mavic pro2 from 200 feet in the air above the East Bank of the flats downtown Cleveland. I had my IOS set to 100 and I was just hopping for a good shot.Time
It was late afternoon 9:45pm in the Summer of 2020. Very calm night.Lighting
I was like a kid on Christmas when I took off with my drone and saw the lights and the sky. I was just praying not to get hit by a seagullEquipment
I used a DJI MAVIC PRO 2 drone with a spotlight.Inspiration
I was given a night waver from the FAA to fly at night over the East Bank. All I knew it was a calm night and the sky looked beautiful. When I got to 200 feet honestly it was a once in a lifetime shot. I doubt I can do it again.Editing
Yes I drove all over Cleveland that day looking for areas to fly and applied for five wavers. This is the only one I got. When you fly that close to a airport you only fly where they tell you. I was limited to a 3 mile area.In my camera bag
My drone 4 extra lenses, 3 back up batteries, 4 back up props, and a back up charger.Feedback
Be patient, I was up in the air for two hours before I took this shot.
