Well, session three of flight training went pretty well. I had a couple of ideas that I wanted to try so got the bike out and headed off to take a a few shots….
The first shot is from St Annes. Such a beautiful place, facing the sun, and absolutely charming. I was so proud of my flight around the side of the church!!! I actually took all the footage in one pass, so fun to have it go so right.
On the way out of the neighborhood there are a bunch of daffodils planted in the median. The bright yellow puts a smile on my face every time I ride by. This took lots of passes, for some reason I had the hardest time??? Ok, that’s it for the pre-planned stuff, now into wander mode.
What might work? As I was turning in front of Bert’s I noticed a very pretty weeping cherry tree. Lots of tries that didn’t work; attempting to incorporate the mailbox, reveal from above vs below. In the end a simple fly up – look up seemed best, and huge win that the sun was in the right place to catch the drone shadow. Some times lucky is just as effective as good :-). Oh, and I’m not the only one who thought that the tree was photo-worthy. As I was packing up a gal stopped along the main road and walked over with her SLR to capture a bit of spring beauty.
Final shot was flowering dogwoods. As I passed by this little access road into a small neighborhood I knew I had to stop and try… Parking on the corner of the lot I flew a few passes on the road side, but… the sun wasn’t right. There were a couple of guys working in the garage so I figured why not ask “can I take some pictures of your lovely trees?” Sure go ahead. Thank you kind sir….
love the music with the video….so relaxing!
Why thank you! It can be so hard to find good music 🙂
