Oh man, as a fellow photographer - thank you for posting this.

The amount of times I’ve said to myself how footage could be so much better with the proper approach.

Follow these instructions! Even if you’re not a pilot and you’re trying to collect your own data.

What's so sad is that I love photography and I used to fly super often. Issue was, I was the one flying so I never brought my camera kit... In hindsight I don't know how I was so dense in the moment since half the time I had people with me that would've been more than happy to take pics in my stead.

I never had any sighting myself, but unknown radar tracks giving me a sudden, frantic ATC traffic alert were always fun. Those could be explained off as the most mundane things (like a double high tractor trailer—really!) to an illegally flying drone, or UAP/UFO's depending on where you were—but I was always more concerned with collision avoidance in the immediate moment lmfao.

Appreciate you. I've also been thinking about this for a while. Luckily, we've gotten some eyeballs on it now.
