Drone't try this at home...

Love the effect of this shot.  The wall at the bottom is 90cm high, and I balanced a step ladder on top (held in place to tick a H&S box prevent me sh*tting myself), giving me an extra metre of height, then my 1.75m frame (5'9") at full stretch, holding a monopod at full length.  Probably almost 5m off the ground in all.  Against every single Health and Safety recommendation.

Until I can afford the drone, this is as good as it gets.
