Great shot, and one that should, imho, be repeated in every season. Bravo!

This is a fantastic shot, Oddly enough though I've never seen it from this angle I knew where it was.

Location
I took this photo in Lake Louise, AB, Canada with a drone. When you look closely you can see me and my friends standing to the left of the cabin!Time
This was taken between noon and 2pm on a Sunday in November. It's typically pretty tough to get the right lighting, especially with the drone as I find all highlights and harsh lights are 1000x worse when shooting aerial images from a drone. I was lucky enough to have a super flat light day (very cloudy) which made it a lot easier to edit ans bring my colours out.Lighting
See above!Equipment
I used a DJI Phantom 3 Professional.Inspiration
This photo was taken out of nowhere, I had no inspiration for it and had never really seen anything like it before. I was shooting a ton of angles from the sky but never pointing the camera straight down. As soon as I did, I saw this shot and loved it. Now, every time I fly the drone I make sure to point the camera straight down for a few shots - birds eye perspective is amazing!Editing
Not a ton of processing went into this photo. I would typically clone out imperfections (such as the group of us standing on the side of the image) but decided not to as it helps to tell the story of the image. A few lighting corrections, bringing out some of the blue and colder tones to the image and minor aqua blue luminosity changes to set the right mood.In my camera bag
I always carry my drone, canon 7D2 with my Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art and Sigma 10mm Fisheye, Sony A7 with a Sony 28mm F2.Feedback
Fly high and point your drone straight down! You will be amazed by this perspective more-so than any other aerial perspective (in my opinion).
