Ben Schumin Photography Portfolio

IKEA's South Philadelphia store at 2206 Christopher Columbus Boulevard, at sunset.

This photo has an interesting backstory to it. I had been photographing the SS United States, which is docked across the street from this store, with my drone, and was lining up a low shot of the ship's bow when some water splashed over the top of my drone. The splash caused some of my drone's electronics to short out and cause undesired operation, but thankfully, I was still able to raise the drone's altitude sufficiently to allow me to fly it back to a safe landing. I took this photo while I was flying back from the ship. After landing, when I picked the drone up off of the ground, a lot of water came out of it. Despite my best efforts to dry it out, it would not fly again, and I had to send it back to DJI for repairs. After the repairs, the drone was good as new.
