The resort is located on the Sandia Reservation about one mile north of my son's home in Albuquerque. My launch point was near the reservation boundary a half-mile or so south of the casino. Flashing Firehouse Mini-Pro strobes made it easy to see the drone in the gathering darkness. There was an event in the outdoor amphitheater (the circular structure at left center), so I maintained a respectful distance. Most of my shots were failures. There was a storm brewing over the mountains just east of us, gusty outflow winds were tossing the Air 3 around, and my ISO was too low. For whatever reason, this frame turned out OK. 24mm, f/1.7, ISO 200, 1/15-second. If there's a next time, I'll boost ISO to yield faster shutter speeds. Live and learn.

If you're hunting for a safe online casino Comparison of Safe Online Casinos in Australia for Safe Games is worth checking out for newcomers.
Honestly, it’s impressive you pulled out a solid frame at all with a 1/15 shutter in those gusts.

The way you captured the twilight glow over Sandia Resort really highlights the atmosphere and energy of the place—it almost makes you feel like you’re standing there. Scenes like this make me think about the excitement inside the resort as well, especially the casino area. If anyone’s curious about that side of things, some great online platforms like 40 Burning Hot Slot ᐈ Demo Play - Play Risk-Free offer reviews of casinos and let you try out games for free. One game I recently checked out is 40 Burning Hot. It’s a fun way to explore casino games without any risk.
Great.
