18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Hut at the lake

On my latest Faroe trip, I attempted to fly a drone over the cliff. I sent the aircraft into the ocean, looking for some good perspective on the cliff, but a western wind pushed it over the lake. I completely lost control over the drone which ended up in the airport's no-flight zone. Safety features on the aircraft made it to land on the lake. I thought it was gone, but at the last minute, I managed to regain control over the device and moved it towards shore—except it was on the other side of the lake. Instead of taking photographs, I hiked 1.5 hour to get back my drone. It was a good decision to take my camera out in case something was to appear. approached a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Few shots taken cheered me up a bit. I took this shot handheld with only 0.9 graduation filter.
