Thanks mate, no filter, just a nice little sharp Pentax DA 35mm lens.

There's a fair few drone shots on various groups on Flickr

Went to visit the old dear this week (300km away so I stay the night) and as always woke up bloody early which usually sees me walking down to the river (actually the top of the Spencer Gulf) to grab some long exposures of the trucks coming over the bridge etc, however I was blessed with an...

Cool landscape, love the clouds spilling over the edge of the hill

I try to be very mindful of birds, have had them circling and setting off the distance sensors on the Air multiple times. Only a few days ago in an old town up north of South Australia I had a group of bloody pigeons circling it. The worst has been Magpies, those suckers dive at it.

Thanks mate, I was keen to fly through it and glad I copped a little of it :D

Thankyou very much, still need a lot of practice ?

Thank you ?

They have a couple of old rigs that run every weekend up until summer when they can't run due to bushfire risk and they crank out some diesels. In the school holidays they run every couple of days. Another down at Goolwa runs every day through school holidays which is great.

Can't wait to see the video and pics of where they've flown it.

I figure a little bit of moisture can't harm it, it was actually dry when it landed, I'm assuming the props do a good job of dispersing the water.

I managed to land just as the spray started to hit here, it got a little damp but handled the wind like a champ and managed to fire off all the shots for the Pano. Approaching Storm by Ian Lucas, on Flickr

I've found the same here in Australia, next to impossible to find, some punters selling a pair for just shy of 600 bucks ? I have managed to pick up a couple, 1 with only 8 charges on it for 100 bucks delivered and another with 50 odd charges for 140 bucks delivered, bloody pricey if you ask me...
