While travelling Sri Lanka for the last 2 months, I received countless messages across social media asking for advice about the restrictions of bringing a drone into the country and the rules and regulations of flying it when there. I came out of the protected area i was flying in and my drone got caught in the wind and was taken over 1km away before I could get it sheltered enough to pilot it back to my location at a painfully slow pace. In Australia CASA have a solid set of safety regulations in place when it comes to flying a UAV, and despite being a much less developed country, I was surprised to find Sri Lanka also had a stringent list of safety regulations to follow for droning activity. I’m unclear if the use of spotters is allowed in Sri Lanka like it is in Australia, where you have a person stationed at the 1km mark who will spot the drone as it moves beyond 500m using radio contact.

Its been 48 hours since I touched down in Sri Lanka and im happy to be back in a tropical climate again. Exiting the plane I was instantly aware of the heat and humidity, but it was a welcome change from the cool of the Perth winter i’d left behind

OK, so maybe this isn’t on the same scale as a rocket launch, but I’m very happy to announce that as of today all of my images are available as prints on Canvas and Fine Art Paper. From here onwards my page will be a continually evolving space where I’ll regularly document all things From Miles Away, to give a personal insight into goings on behind the lens such as travel, product reviews, tutorials and a whole heap of other things that i haven’t thought of yet! ! All these things and more have taken time to achieve but have allowed me to work on gathering a large portfolio of images of the surrounding landscape. But feel free to browse through the Print Store, check out my latest posts on Instagram or just send me a message to say ‘Hello’.
