Good example of the elevation advantage of a drone.

Would I be wrong for saying I like the drone version better?

Both are super cool. I like the wispy clouds being reflected in the regular camera version. But the higher version with the drone gives a very unique perspective that is attractive.

My only suggestion since the drone probably doesnt have as much dynamic range and the sun is going to be blown out easier, maybe crop the top half of the sky off in #1.

These were shot an hour ago, so your suggestions will be used in my editing process. Jim you are right about the lack of dynamic range, plus, I hesitate to put the drone up as it darkens down. Below is a pano shot by the drone AI

the burn out is really evident

Ben, exactly why I picked this spot for the drone. I have fought the height of the trees and buildings in the background forever. I need to work more with the drone in manual exposure though. It hopefully is a work in progress

I like both - the ground view is what we are used to seeing and the drone gives us something entirely different. Nice you can do both at once.

And, that's why I fly my camera. Nice imaging, Tim.
