"Birdshot with a half-inch charge isn’t bringing anything down at that distance. You can’t even reach the property line. You’d have to be right on top of it,” Sandman said."
That statement amuses me . Stand there while I take the shot ,and we'll see if it reaches the property line.
Agreed ,I let all my neighbors no when I got the P3Pnotifying neighbors would be recommended. make a connection for future business?
Screw the neighbors! There is no reason to ever feel you NEED to ask anyone for permission to do anything! The sky is free space, and it should be law anywhere that you have the right to take a picture. Intent on invasion of privacy is another thing completely, but that is NEVER the case in any of the reported drone shootings.
I fly some... maybe 2 hours a week... around my neighborhood. Buzzing up and down the street and around the trees in my yard. Partially to get better. partially to let people see! To see what it is, and that its not some scary thing. A few have come and talked to me. I should add that I do this with a .45 on my hip! I have yet to have someone be negative. Most have NO clue. Some come, I think, to talk about the P3, but end up talking about guns. There is one old guy though.. he I think has an issue. But I don't fly around his place at all. Hes about 8 houses away. I've never been over his house, and don't go that far up the street. But he has, a few time now, been leaving in his car and pulled back in his driveway and stood, arms crossed, watching. I know whats legal both on the flying side, and the photography side of the house. I'm always willing to talk to people, and have let a few fly. But I will NOT change my habits to pamper someone with irrational fear!I'm torn on this one. Sometimes I feel like it's just a courtesy that doesn't harm anything and can do more good than not. I certainly do not want to couch as asking for permission. Ever. I completely agree with you that if it's legal we should be allowed to exercise our freedoms without questions or restrictions. The problem is that sometimes people just don't know and not for a lack of intelligence either. In those cases I feel it's better to just explain it to them and if they're still unreasonable, then yes, screw them.
