Fracking the Fog

[Dave Stanton]

Shot this the other day at an oil field fracking site in East Texas. It was my first time at such a place...very interesting. What do y'all (as they say here) think?

A beautiful morning!

Really nice. I think you have inspired me (no pun intended).
I spend so much time shooting video I realize how rarely I take photos and how much I like them when I do.
Thanks!

Nice shot, but check your regs. You need 500’ between your aircraft and the ceiling to be legal.

The fog was ground level. Above it the ceiling of clouds was thousands of feet above me. I only flew the quad copter at about 100" to make sure I cleared the crane and I was just above the fog. Ironically, I had VLOS through the entire flight. The fog was not as thick looking up through it as it was looking down through it toward the ground.

Very nice and unique conditions. Great shots.
