Drone & Aerial Photography for the busy long weekend

For drone aerial on a bank-holiday weekend, less is nearly always more: a curated 20 beats a splashy 60 every time. May, August and Christmas bank holidays crowd venues, promenades and family-event calendars — the shoot works around footfall, not against it.
