Pilot Log: It was less than 24 hours ago, that I embarked on filming one of the greatest sunsets ever for my YouTube channel. This morning, coincidentally, I filmed one of best sunrises and it came with a perk - The City of New York. Filming began at the peak of dawn and the intensity of light only got bigger as time went on. As the fog slowly disappeared, things began to be clearer. Conditions were perfect despite the earlier fog - many notable landmarks were visible. Flushing Meadows Corona Park has one of the five sites in which UAV owners can fly within the confines of New York City legally. Would like to thank the FAA for approving my LAANCE Request. This flight was low-altitude and safety and precaution were followed. There were many close calls with bird-strikes as you will notice throughout this flight. The title for this films fits perfectly for future videos to come. Stay tuned more surprises. Additional Comments: In 2014, I stumbled across Above & Beyond and enjoyed, Prelude. Finally, I am able to utilize their track for my films - Prelude complements the sunrise perfectly. Technical: Again, flying the DJI Air 3 and filming using both standard and telephoto lens is very convenient especially in tightly-regulated Airspace - filmed using DLOG-M. A LUT was applied in Post - thanks to DMProVisuals. A UV filter was installed prior to the flight.
