The final image is made up of five different shots that have been stitched together to give this unusual perspective of the famous road.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The image won Best Drone Photographer (People&#8217;s Choice) at the 2023 British Photography Awards, with Charlie describing the win as an &#8216;absolute honour&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/19\/18\/77992609-12768107-This_stunning_image_of_San_Francisco_s_Lombard_Street_snared_Bri-a-70_1700419844639.jpg\" height=\"1180\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>This stunning image of San Francisco&#8217;s Lombard Street snared Briton Charlie Moss\u00a0Best Drone Photographer (People&#8217;s Choice) at the 2023 British Photography Awards<\/p>\n<p>Does Charlie consider San Francisco as a whole to be particularly photogenic?<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;There are endless photography spots around San Francisco, all with completely different perspectives and views.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There are 11 districts in the city, all of which carry their own unique vibe and culture. From Golden Gate Bridge to Lombard Street, across to Little Italy and Chinatown.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I don&#8217;t think I could ever get bored of taking photographs of San Fran.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Are there strict drone laws there?<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;The drone laws in San Francisco are pretty similar to a lot of other cities &#8211; you can fly both recreationally and commercially as long as you have the right licenses and permissions and stay within the laws\/rules.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/19\/18\/77992607-12768107-A_photograph_by_Charlie_of_the_Golden_Gate_Bridge_Charlie_said_t-a-71_1700419844640.jpg\" height=\"730\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>A photograph by Charlie of the Golden Gate Bridge. Charlie said that he could never get bored of photographing the city<\/p>\n<p>And does Charlie have any advice for budding drone photographers? Are there any common mistakes that amateurs make?<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;Honestly, my first piece of advice would be to just get out there and take some photos, anywhere you can &#8211; having practised flying beforehand, that is.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think a lot of mistakes made, even by myself now, are caused by rushing into things.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s hard to shoot at sunrise or sunset because you only have a limited window of opportunity, but take the time to learn and understand the controls and settings of your drone or camera and just practice, practise and practise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My photography is representative of how beautiful the world can be. Amid times of uncertainty and madness, getting lost in photography is an escape and I&#8217;d encourage anyone who&#8217;s lucky enough to grab a camera and capture those memories.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><span>To see more of Charlie&#8217;s work, visit his Instagram page &#8211; <\/span><span>www.instagram.com\/charliemossphoto<\/span><span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/travel\/article-12768107\/The-stunning-drone-image-San-Franciscos-famously-twisty-Lombard-Street-snared-Briton-winners-medal-prestigious-British-Photography-Awards-2023.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The stunning drone image of San Francisco&#8217;s famously twisty Lombard Street that snared a Briton a winner&#8217;s medal at the prestigious British Photography Awards 2023 The image won Best Drone&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241862,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
