Some highlights of my flying year - 2024

[Meta4]

The Mavic 3 Pro has helped me to capture many memorable images throughout 2024
Having wideangle, short tele and long telephoto cameras gives a variety of perspectives and prevents all images from having the same look.
The ability of the Maavic 3 Pro to handle winds and produce great images continues to surprise.
The conditions I've flown in ranged from pre-dawn calm to a full gale at sea.
Here are just a few of my favourite images from the past year.

Tugs escort a bulk carrier into port

Head on view of a large oil tanker

Low sun breaks through clouds to light up this bulker

Still water reflections of a heavy lift vessel carrying oil refinery equipment

The most colourful container ship of the year

A car carrier rolling in rough weather

Pilot boat surfing in rough weather

Containers stacked high

Queen Mary 2 heads out to sea

Royal Princess at sunset

Viking Sky - before sunrise

The image quality continues to impress me.

A fine demonstration of the quality a good photographer can get from the Mavic 3 Pro.
I particularly like the evening photo of Queen Mary 2.

Good work. Where are you usually taking off from? Some of the ships seem to be fair bit off shore.

Some from shore and others from boats.

QM2 was a lucky catch.
I hoped for a sunset sailpast, but the ship was delayed and arrived well after the sun had gone down.
I bumped ISO up as far as I dared and could still only get 1/15th of a second shutter speed.
The ship was sailing quite fast - about 18 knots.
So I tried to match speed with the ship to get an acceptably sharp image.
Fortunately there was little to no headwind and I could keep up long enough to get several shots in and this one was the best.

Well done! I liked that shot very much too. My favorite from the serie, actually

Very nice images. The M3 Pro is an impressive camera platform and you have made it (and yourself) shine.
