Cheap Wall Art | Printable Wall Art - Navy Pier and Chicago Skyline by Drone

This picture was taken a few years ago after finally getting my first “real” drone. I was flying for a long time on mini drones around the house but this was my first full sized drone and shortly after I took a few test flights I set out to take the photo I wanted for a long time. I got to Navy Pier at 5 am to make sure as few people as possible were around. There were 2 or 3 people that were out from the night before watching me as I took off from the end of the pier. I remember watching as thousands of seagulls were flying around the area. I was hoping that none of them would interfere and send my new equipment into the ice cold waters of Lake Michigan.

I got up in the air before the sun was fully on the horizon as I didn’t want to be rushing. Once I got in position I hovered for a few minutes to wait for the sun. As it came up I was so excited to see the shot just as I had envisioned it. And voila here it is.
