I work in environmental science and education so one of my main interests is using drone technology for conservation work. I tried my hand at taking photos and mapping (without GCPs), different areas for one of the companies that I work for, looking at changes in landscape after restoration work. I have used Solex, Mission Planner and Drone Deploy so far. I'm familiar with GIS and would love to get into some more detailed map making with GCPs. My wife is an anthropologist and we work in Kenya so I'm really looking forward to mapping her study site as well as getting some amazing footage over there.

I am also learning about different applications for agriculture and would like to connect with other pilots and explore this more. I understand I would do better in this field with a different platform, but until then, I have to make do with what I have.
 
Welcome @Dimestra! I have done quite a bit of environmental monitoring on the coast of Texas. I look forward to following your journey. You are in for a fun adventure! WebODM and Reality scan are good free options for processing basic ortho and topographic data, and QGIS is a great option to analyze it.
