I’ve been hearing more and more people say things like, “If a drone flies over my property, I’m going to shoot it down,” or “I’m going to throw something at it.”

I understand that drones can make some people uncomfortable, and as a drone pilot I try to be respectful of people, their property, and their privacy whenever I fly.

At the same time, I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about what the law actually allows. My goal with this post isn’t to argue with anyone or tell people they shouldn’t have concerns. It’s simply to help inform people before someone makes a split-second decision that could lead to serious legal, financial, or safety consequences.

A drone is considered an aircraft under federal aviation law, and shooting at one is not the same thing as knocking a toy out of a tree.

🚧 New Website Testers Needed! 🚧

I’ve been working behind the scenes to completely rebuild the Deaton’s Aerial Photography website.

My goal isn’t simply to make it look better. I’m building an all-around better experience—from planning a project and requesting an estimate to signing documents, tracking progress, making payments, and receiving completed photos and videos.

The new website includes:

• A detailed flight-planning and estimate builder
• Interactive property and filming-area tools
• Easier scheduling and project communication
• Secure access to quotes, documents, payments, and delivered media
• Clearer information about services, pricing, and what to expect

Before I make it the primary Deaton’s Aerial website, I’d love for some of you to test it:

🔗 https://deatonsaerialphotography.com

Please look around, try the quote builder, and check it from your phone or computer. Let me know if anything is confusing, difficult to find, displays incorrectly, or simply doesn’t work.

Both website addresses will remain active, but once testing is complete, **deatonsaerial.com** will become the main address for the new website.

Honest feedback is encouraged. I’d rather you all find the bugs now than have a customer discover one halfway through booking! 😂

Thank you for helping me build a better experience for every Deaton’s Aerial client.

What a day at Rock Hill Farm Supply’s Grand Opening!

We had a great time capturing a mix of ground and aerial photos of the store, the property, and all the activity going on throughout the day. Rock Hill has put together a great-looking place with plenty to offer the local farming and livestock community.

A big thank-you to Rock Hill Farm Supply for letting Deaton’s Aerial Photography be part of the day, and to WEIS Radio for being out there covering the event.

And yes… even the local hawk stopped by to inspect the drone operations. 😂🦅

If you missed the grand opening, make sure to stop by and visit Rock Hill Farm Supply over the next few days. It’s truly worth checking out in person!

Congratulations again to Rock Hill Farm Supply on the grand opening!

After a brief negotiation, me and the hawk have reached a peace agreement. He says he’s sorry for attacking the drone and promises to respect Deaton’s Aerial airspace from now on. 😂🦅

Well, that escalated quickly! 🦅🚁

We are out at Rockhill Farm Supply for its grand opening, and Zack Deaton was capturing aerial footage with his drone when a local hawk took exception to its airspace being invaded—and attacked the drone!

Apparently, even the birds are keeping an eye on all the excitement at Rockhill Farm Supply! 🤠

A few additional photos from the other day at Cornwall Furnace!

Cornwall Furnace is truly a remarkable place, surrounded by the beauty of Weiss Lake and filled with a piece of Cherokee County history.

If you’ve never taken the time to visit, you’re missing out. Sometimes some of the most interesting places are sitting right here in our own backyard.

Something exciting has been taking shape behind the scenes.

Over the last several weeks, I’ve been working on more than just a new website.

My goal has been to make every step of working with Deaton’s Aerial Photography easier, from requesting a quote to receiving your final media.

Here’s a small preview of what’s coming:

🚁 Request a personalized quote in minutes
📄 Sign documents online
📬 Keep all project communication in one place
📊 Track your project from start to finish
📁 Access your project files through your own client portal

There’s still some testing, polishing, and bug fixing ahead, but I’m excited to share it with everyone soon.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Deaton’s Aerial Photography. I can’t wait to launch this next chapter.
