At present, is it possible to legally take pictures from the air for profit?
I intend to use this mostly in residential areas operating at altitudes no greater than 400 feet (or thereabouts).
Also, I hope to use the concept to take pictures of river areas and recreational areas since the tourism industry is very strong here.
Can someone please point me to posts that already exist directly regarding these topics?
Is there any organization I can join in regards to this that might also be interested in expanding these operations in the Tennessee Valley area?
That's all the questions I have for now and I sincerely appreciate any help given.
on a personal note... this is something I have wanted to do for a very long time, every since I was a kid. It isn't just about making a profit... in all honesty it may not even be mainly about that. I simply want to make a living doing something I love and hopefully pass on that legacy to my children.
Thank you.

1) Companies are operating all over the place doing commercial aerial photography via personal drones.
2) There is a great deal of confusion (generally speaking) of the legality of these companies and their operations.
BTW... I realize now that this is primarily an amateur oriented site.
It's a great site and the community is active, opinionated, and knowledgeable. Invaluable to guys like me, in other words. ;)
one last question: Who should I contact in regards to broken links?
Thank you again for your help!

Do the rules change if the craft is tethered? Say a dirigible with capability of maneuvering in the air yet still tethered to the operator physically?
