If fog is present near the One Detroit Center and GM Headquarters, you can get a similar shot year round. The best months to achieve the same look would be in October or April when it tends to be most foggy.

Early morning is the best to capture fog rising.

Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permits. Remember that it's illegal to fly your drone above 400 feet at this location. It's also important to stay on the north side of the Detroit River — if you fly far enough south you'll reach Canada.

Try framing the skyscrapers in the center of your photo to create symmetry in your image.

Depending on how the fog looks on the day you shoot, you might be able to pick and choose which skyscrapers are in your frame. Get creative and photograph the skyline from different perspectives.
