I bought this drone on Feb 16, 2018 Spent most the afternoon and night Reading and adjusting settings. Preparing for this first flight. I do enjoy the editing. Anyhow, heres Lake Superior. In Duluth Minnesota.
This was my very first flight with P4P Lake Superior Ice

Thanks everyone for your kind words. That drone was screaming at me the whole time. I had all the obstacle avoidance on. I didn't want to end up in the drink.
Not bad for a first flight and the exposure, though maybe a bit low, was pretty close and definitely not over exposed. The ice was very interesting and took on somewhat different look depending on which way the Sun hit it.
If I could offer some suggestions ... probably the most common thing I recommend is to go easy on the sticks and particularly when you are very close and low you need to go even easier on the sticks. I think I'd also recommend staying a bit higher and further away, at least until you have full muscle memory -- lots of folks here have dumped there drones in the drink and I'd hate for that to happen to you.

Thats a HUGE mass of water to freeze. The temp would have to drop below zero for a long duration of time. Wind and wave action break the ice up and piles it on the shoes. Ill post up a video on how much it was frozen last week.
Thanks Raptorman. I dialed the sticks back All the obstacle avoidance was on. It wouldn't allow me to get much closer.
