California is pretty from just about any angle.

But it’s hard to beat the overhead views, as evidenced by the photos and videos being posted online by a growing army of amateur drone operators.

There are rules limiting where you can fly drones. Among the common ones:

— Keep your drone no higher than 400 feet from where you’re standing.

— Don’t get too close to the airport.

— The airspace above stadium crowds is a no-no.

But that leaves plenty of terrain to explore.

Ming Chen, a 38-year-old tech worker in Los Angeles, picked up the hobby a couple years ago and has since produced dozens of mesmerizing videos, mostly in his hometown.
