b. Consider lightning and shadows -  Not every shot you click will be perfect. Some factors are completely intractable but have a major effect on outcome. Shadow consideration just as associated with regular photography is also important for drone photography. To liquidate the effect of shadows, do consider the sun and the moon directions at the respective time of the shoot.

c. Consider Insurance - Now, that might sound awkward. Why would anyone want to get there drone insured?  Imagine, a wayward gust of wind blowing away your drone, an angry bird that hits straight into it or the controller losing control of it. Some situations are completely beyond control and can put your business on hold. Getting liability insurance for your drone would only cost you as much as a second drone. But it can save you a heck lot of money.

d. Plan a good location -  A good location is one that far off from a hustling street, a market place and residential area etc.. All these locations are not apt to get the clicks you want to make your experience worthy.

b. Don't fly over people - While you might think of a crowded beach or a holiday destination as a perfect place for you to fly drone and get the perfect shots, it is actually the opposite.You, are not permitted to fly drones where it is flooded with people,due to security security reasons.

c. Don't fly after dark - It is recommended not to fly after dark even if your drone has night lights. Specially,during the dawn or dusk phase when the light percentage varies every minute. Therefore, 30 minutes before or after the respective periods flight should be avoided.

d.Don't fly above allowable altitude - How high can you fly your drone ? As a general recommendation you are not allowed to fly it above 400 feet or 121 meter. The following limit persists drones from coming in contact with the manned aircraft such as the plane or helicopter. Rules may vary from country to country so check your local aviation authority before flying drone.

e. Don't fly into fireworks - Only if every wish came true and laws were secondary to all, it would have been possible to fly drones in the firework. Many large fireworks are setup in "safe zones" established by coast guards.
