Wow! I hope you'll continue to post these great pics!

i didn't realize that the forum software here doesn't resize images. apologies for the over-large jpgs!

here's two from this evening, using our roof as the takeoff and landing area. it was a bit too windy for really stable flight so i kept it short.

this part of the city is surprisingly dense from above. large units and small household sizes probably reduce the actual density a lot.

same launch site, morning light.

... i was looking at these and thinking, shit, san francisco has it's problems, for sure. but we should build 5 or 10 more of them!

I can't stop looking at these. It's such a unique and dramatic perspective. Have you thought about flying over Jackson Square? That's one of my favorite areas and I would love to see it from above. Perhaps you could take off from Walton park?

Just awesome view from all sides

mthd · #69 Posted **Dec 27, 2015, 8:24 PM**

here's some stuff from the last few months. haven't had much time for this, so most of these are the same general vantage point, with different qualities of lighting and so on.

mthd · #70 Posted **Dec 27, 2015, 8:24 PM**

and here's some new vantage points.

from lands end, looking over the VA.

and a beautiful, chilly morning from rincon hill and mission bay.

Awesome pics as always. The last set shows the city nearly abandoned!

Austinlee · #72 Posted **Dec 27, 2015, 9:42 PM**

These two "mirrored glass" style towers in the center look amazing.

This is probably the only thread I have seen that actually shows SF's density. The skyline is good, but the built neighborhoods all around are a beautiful rarity in the US.

Those rincon hill towers are beautiful!

seriously! as much as i like the hustle + bustle of the city, it was pretty cool to have parts of it to myself for a few hours. lol.

i took the opportunity to make some shots from places that would otherwise be too crowded for safe take-off and landing. dogs + lookiloos + "drones" = :nono:

Great job!! Thanks for sharing!

mthd · #77 Posted **Jan 1, 2016, 9:18 PM**

some shots from treasure island:

and a few taking advantage of the quiet morning in transbay. my FPV setup conked out so these are a bit "blind..."

it's legal...................for now. We had one follow us on the Larkspur Ferry from about Alcatraz to the Ferry Building. Very strange indeed. A while ago, one crashed on the road deck of the Golden Gate Bridge
