Fascinated by cloud movement since I was a kid I finally got it done. It took me 2 months considering it back and forth to do it or not taking the risks. Then I found a way to minimize the risks.

VLOS: Taking advantage of wholes in the cloud cover let me keep my bird in vlos. It took me a dozen flights to collect all the footage.

Iced blades: I waxed the low noise blades of my Mavic minimizing the risk of frozen water could hold onto it.

The only trouble I‘ve encountered was a foggy lens. Here is the result:

Excellent stuff and quite encouraging

Lovely stuff! I’m also fascinated with clouds and made a similar video when visiting my parents in the north Georgia mountains...

This is good, love it.

Thanks all. I‘ll keep hunting clouds at golden hour maybe. I check the weather every day waiting for rain and sunshine afterwards.
