This was my first drone photo after the snowstorm in New Orleans — I’d like to share a little personal story. On Monday, when the forecasters were predicting a snowstorm, we decided to check into a French Quarter hotel, as I imagined the roads would close and the drive from my house to the quarter would become impossible. On Tuesday, while the snow was coming down, I spent the whole day walking around the quarter with my hand-held camera. Flying the drone would have been unsafe, due to the falling snow and the strong wind. Around 5pm, I returned to the hotel, and since I was exhausted and the forecasts predicted that the storm would continue until 7 or 8pm, I decided to take a nap to be rested for drone flying later. It was only 5:30 when my wife woke me up announcing that the storm had already ended. I rushed out and was able to catch this photo and a few others with that wonderful twilight glow in the sky. So, credit to Jane for making these photos possible. She also assisted me in setting up a small take-off and landing pad so that the drone would not sink in the fresh snow.
