Drone Shots of San Francisco Shrouded in Wildfire Smoke

Last month, smoke from wildfires in northern California caused San Francisco to have the worst air quality in the world for a number of days. Here’s a 2-minute drone video that offers an eye-opening aerial look at what the city looked like during those days.

FAA 107 licensed pilot Ian Montgomery of Pre-Future took his camera drone to various locations around San Francisco when the smoke was at its worst. The thick orange haze gave the city a post-apocalyptic look.

You can find more of Montgomery’s work on his website and Vimeo.
