📷 Photographing Lesser Known Lyme Regis with my Drone 🚁

Headed out early this morning (Sunday 12th) to catch up with me ole mate Steve Healy, but this time to photograph a lesser-known and photographed area of Lyme Regis ... Cannington Viaduct.

Being in the middle of a heat-wave here in the UK, with bright sunshine and few clouds from early morning, I knew tihs was going to be a contrasty black and white and headed out armed with both my camera ... and a last minute decision to take my drone.

Because of the landscape, I ended up only using the drone, which with 3 fully charged batteries gave me lots of time to manoeuvre around and find a composition I was happy with.

"Cannington Viaduct was built from mass concrete for the Axminster to Lyme Regis railway, opening in 1903 after construction problems caused part of the structure to sink and require reinforcement. Trains crossed its ten arches until the branch line closed in 1965, and the pioneering structure is now Grade II listed."
