I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

I agree that smoke can allow for epic colors at sunset/rise but lately in the PNW there has been too much of a good thing.
A couple years ago I was photographing The Pillars of Rome and waiting for the sunset to reduce the harsh midday lighting and throw a wonderful palette of color onto the landscape.
Alas, the smoke from the wildfires caused the sun to "set" three hours ahead of schedule.
Are your photographs of the Puget Sound area?
Your right, the smoke, makes some pretty cool colors during sunrise / sunsets. These photos were taken at the end of last summer up in the Port Orchard WA area, which is across the Sound from Seattle.
