Reader's Photos: Wilmslow from above

Chris Clarke of Lacey Green, Wilmslow has kindly sent a selection of photos taken over the last couple of weeks above Wilmslow and the neighbouring area.

The photos were taken using his drone and show the River Dean, Lacey Green, the town centre, the Carrs, St Bartholomews Church and one from further afield showing Jodrell Bank.

Speaking about how they were taken Chris said "The key thing has been picking times to take the photos to get the best lighting, and avoid when people are around. Some of the video was taken by programming a "mission" in advance to get the drone to carry out a specific shot or clip, using Google Maps to plan the shot.

"The photos are taken with a drone, but, taking into account the rules and regulations for flying, so for example, flying below 400 feet, using common sense, not flying within 50 metres of people / buildings or over congested groups of people."

Chris added "I would also way that the amazing thing which clearly comes into view with some of these shots, is how green Wilmslow is - a beautiful place to live."
