Yeah, I should make more time to fly. Come and drag me out of my day-to-day drudgery and I'll organize a tour of all the amazing stuff around here I see every day and think "that's a great shot". A lot of falling down buildings from the grand old days of the Erie Canal that you'd never find on...

Mohawk Valley, halfway between Albany and Utica, north side of the river. Drop by if you're in the area, we can do some flying.

Predictable responses to the original post. The OP probably knew it was gonna be controversial. Even I know the rules, flying as I do a humble Mini 1 within my own property boundaries, mostly. I think the message has been sent and received, and the flight data assimilated. No need to bang on...

The palm tree shadows show that the sun is lower in the second shot, so earlier in the day. Light is usually better when the sun is lower, you tend to get more dynamic range and color saturation in the shot. Your shot is taken with the sun at 1 o'clock and suffers from direct reflections off...

Not to mention the so-called "Creative Cloud" crapware that starts up every time I reboot my Mac. I need to use Lightroom and Illustrator for my business but I totally hate the way Adobe invades my machine. Adobe better wake up before their customers consign them to the massive junk heap of...

Sad commentary on how uncommon 'common sense' has become, in all walks of life.

This is interesting: Flight 6 analysis

We had a situation a while back, I won't go into the details other than it was an unwanted drifter on our property. My wife was concerned enough to call the cops. A police car arrived and the sheriff's deputy had a quiet word with the person, then hung around chatting with us for about an...

This guy is, in my mind, clearly mentally ill. I mean, if he'd lived adjacent to your patch for years, and it was developed out from under him, that I could understand. While obviously not agreeing with that kind of resulting activity it would at least point to some kind of motivation. But you...

That's a good reminder that in photography the early bird catches the worm. Very nice captures.

Now that's what you call a volcano. Singed my eyebrows just watching it. Both the flying and video are exceptional. I offer my heartfelt congratulations to the pilot.

That was insane! Love the music, perfect accompaniment. I learned a lot, but mostly that some salmon are better than others at jumping rapids.

Getting it through customs is one thing. Dealing with locals, both officials and non officials, in far flung reaches of the country is another. I could tell you several stories but I won't. Well maybe just one story. Like I said before I had a good trip through the country, from Landi Kotal on...

Well I've traveled through Pakistan but it was a very long time ago. I had a good trip. You don't have to be a genius to know that it could be risky flying up near the Afghan border (NW, the Peshawar region). There are far too many politics in play and your harmless intentions could easily...
