And to answer your other question, about my point of view: I was standing on our local pier, which gives me the proverbial birds-eye view! I've taken many shots from the pier and they generally work out. I've never used a drone.

(149,629 posts)I always feel very happy when I can catch the frozen surf. There's something magical about it.
The pier is a terrific spot, both for photographing from and for being the centerpiece in a photo!
