Thanks for those pix you took today - pleased you got some flying in.

I chose today to fly at Gorehambury House and take pictures of the old one - the old one is looked after by English Heritage. When we arrived we discovered the current house under refurbishment and the old one surrounded with machines and fences covering quite an area. Looking at the stills the wife and I took we had little to show for the day. However the walk to the old house and back of some six miles must have done some good.
I am desperate to gain some experience with my MM as I have little flying time on the clock due to the recent wind and rains. Now it looks with the coronavirus spreading here in the UK I may have to stay at home and self isolate. Our garden is very small and I'm sure with many people working from home at the moment they would respect some peace and quiet.
Like you I wish everyone free of the virus and happy flying.

Welcome - The Gorhambury Estate
One of my images from today see below.

Beautiful country! Nice shots. I'd sure like to try my hand at color correcting these. Needs some of the shadows opened up in the trees, and some more contrast and vividness in the colors.

Fine day for flying. I myself am getting out of the congestion of the city and heading to the Redwoods and coast. Storm just passed. Hopefully I can get my birds in the air. Great shots you got there!

What a refreshing change to see these fantastic images from a day out with a drone. This is what we should be seeing instead of constantly reading about flyaways, that wasn’t their fault!
Thank you.

Well the virus threw a spanner in the works for our holiday back home this year, so hopefully we shall get back next year. When we do get back home, you'll have to pop down to Crosskeys with your computer and I will get you sorted out and give you some quick training on editing.

That way you will have enough knowledge to get things going for yourself. I used to teach Photoshop to our local camera club. It won't take you long to grasp the basics and from there you will be on your way to editing just fine.

Hope you are doing well, we are all doing fine, my wife has been working from home for four weeks now and we are doing our best at home schooling our two little ones.

Tuesday was garbage day here, I was so excited I was going out, it was a challenge to decide what to wear. Home schooling has been getting easier since Easter got here. They are paying attention more, but we still had to suspend two students for fighting and 1 teacher had to be fired for drinking.

Now we are trying to decide where we will go for Easter break. Our son and I want to go to the living room but Katy and our daughter want to go to the dining room. With two females in the house, they used to spin the toilet paper like the wheel of fortune. Now I tell them they need to spin it like they are trying to crack a safe!
