Drones have many practical applications in the pursuit of landscape photography, but I never imagined that one of them would be to enable me to practice social distancing during a global pandemic. But being able to remotely control my drone from a safe position well away from anyone else means I can still take cool shots and not put myself or anyone around me in danger. Winning! It was nice to have the Hay Avenue boat ramp to myself and I enjoyed sending the drone up to photograph the river, the town and the mountain.
