New to this.

Hi everyone, well I’m new to all this but eager to learn. Have a new DJI mini 4k combo to learn with. I live in the North west and can’t wait to use my drone to video/photograph some of the stunning landscapes we have.

Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.
