I got a drone...
I finally did what I threatened my wallet with, and bought one of these aerial marvels. Specifically a DJI Mini 3 Pro. Along with an insane amount of technology onboard, it has a fairly decent gimbal mounted 48MP camera with raw capabilities, so hopefully it'll produce some great results (in the right hands...). It's never going to be comparable with a DSLR but they're getting closer and closer.
Can't wait to see more stuff from the sky! It of course is capable of glorious 4K video, but here's a collection of photos I've taken with it so far (various dates).
