drone

I finally viewed and edited this fly-by I got of Mt. Index a while back. Amazing the tools we have at a reasonable price now!

Another drone view of Cape Kiwanda, this time looking down into what I call the bowl where I shot (on foot) later that evening.

We woke up late to a nice sunrise starting. I got up and made coffee, but didn't think it would amount to much. Just when I was pouring my cup it peaked and I hurried to get the drone up. Shoulda waited on the coffee - I missed the best of it, but the left overs were still nice. Mt. Pilchuck...

Last week I was first tempted to fly my drone up by this nice thunderhead over the mountains. I really like the glimpse of the mountains beneath the clouds and the veil of rain. I landed and waited a bit before taking off again to look toward Lake Stevens when the color got better. Not my...

The serendipity finding a nice unexpected sunset with my drone a couple days ago got me psyched to fly more. When a few clouds looked a bit promising I figured I might as well take er up again since I can just take off from my backyard and shoot up for a view. When I first looked out the window...

I'm a great believer in serendipity in my photography. I often set out with a plan or goal, but try to stay open to opportunities and go with the flow, which can mean changing the plan and not meeting the original goal. Yesterday afternoon I walked over to our high school play fields to...

Taking panos is so easy with a drone that I almost always do so when taking pictures. For this one I started looking almost straight down, it gave me vertigo looking at my phone realizing how big and steep the cliff just below me was! You can see the little lake I camped at and my red jacket...

It was so much fun to get back out with my repaired drone. North Cascades sunrise, White Chuck Mt. in center. Click through for gallery image

I've borrowed from Bob Marley's great song for the title of this thread where I'll tell the somewhat sad tale of how I crashed and broke my drone on my recent trip to the SW. As upsetting as it was that day, in the end I found that over the next month not thinking about drone shots helped me...

Due to grey rainy weather I haven't been flying my drone much lately. Sunrise on the 30th was spectacular and there was no wind so I got it out. Mt. Rainier on the left, Olympics on the right. This pano was made with 8 frames, each made with 5 shots in burst mode that are stacked and median...

We are lucky to be enjoying a beautiful day up here in the Pacific NW, starting with this sunrise. We sure felt for all the travelers we saw on the news last night. I hope you all enjoy a nice day with friends and family - safe travels. Jim

Looks small from 88 miles away, but still THE MOUNTAIN. Drone Pano from above my house.
