Are you getting any Christmas goody’s for your drone 2018

[Porky]

Just had six Apache helicopters flying low over our house minutes ago, wow what a brilliant sight.

Here is shot from that jski mounted go pro 5 at about 50mph. Unfortunately only 2 megapixel screen grab will go for proper 12 MP photo burst next time. Picked up a set of polar pro ND filters for the GP 5 today including a gradient and circular polarizer which i think will help in highly reflective conditions.

Put the 2nd photo through post ? spectacular buddy???

you will find a way to keep flying Tony, the biggest problem we have in the UK is the bloody weather i went out early today but had to wait till eleven for the weather to clear then managed to fly 5 batts eventually with a break back home for dinner did you watch the race

@charliesRig not sure what went wrong but i hope all is okay. Let us stay in touch by pm. How bout the weather today? Better be getting max use out of those moverios we got at least five more days of sunshine!

My latest adventure...Look what I spotted down at waterfront! OMG ZEN moment!


I thought I recognized the handiwork.


I tossed and turned all night dreaming about....Easter Island.....got up at sunrise (first time in years)and started flying. Closed my eyes, looked for inspiration, and B-I-N-G-O got the pic oh...Slightly overexposed but now I know how to set up the
shot all I need is wind, weather and light to cooperate in perfect sync again!

Love the Easter Island pic. That’s been on my to do list since I read Kon Tiki in grade school!

Same here! Been fascinated by Easter Island since childhood. What a story and what a place. Imagine these people climbed into canoes with all their kids, animals, and belongings and sailed/paddled 2,000 miles+ across open sea with no idea when or where they would land before stumbling into paradise (unless they had navigational help from third parties...like ? ?).




I remember reading Kon Tiki and watching all the movies too! Its a shame Thor Heyerdahl
had no Mavic because the footage would have been epic!


Happy weekend to everyone! Going to be swell here with more adventures in the air and
on the sea and hope for you as well.

Well lookie here ?

Heading to Santiago and Easter Island with Mavic Pro

I'm a Newbie so my apologies in advance if I'm not following protocol. I will be heading to Chile (Easter Island/Rapanui) in October. I have seen some discussions about flying a drone there but have yet to get any sufficient proof that drones are in fact allowed on the Island. Has anyone had a...

Photo is au naturel so play away! ?

Here is another for you to spruce up. I like my composition but can you make it pop a bit more? Seems washed out or overexposed a tad.
These three vessels have tied up for a little party, notice the roped in area for swimming

 

[Porky]

Here you go ?, a quick edit, not brilliant but you should be able to do better with more time in post.

I’ll have a play with the other photo a bit later?

Remember I can only use what was posted, would be better with the original.
