FlykuSummer’s late eveningDrone warning me of high windTake pictures quickly

Came across a cross. It looks small but it’s made from telephone poles.

After yesterday’s high wind nighttime disaster, I needed a comeback. My quadcopter redemption arc. The sequel to my origin story. An aerial revenge fantasy. I needed, to fly again without drama. And that’s what we did, friends. A nice peaceful flight over the neighborhood park. At night.

Flight 12 was perilously close to being the last flight for this drone. If I had lost it after only 12 flights, I would give up on drones altogether as it’s just too expensive, risky, and unforgiving. Anyways, I wanted to record the 4th of July fireworks (at a safe distance) but there were 13…

Being generous here calling it a pond (it’s dookie water). I like the color though.

A grass fire in the next town over worked its way into a warehouse full of fireworks. The explosion was felt and heard in my hometown. My battery was dead but I still wanted to capture this moment. Also this is my tenth flight with this drone and here’s reaching double-digits without crashing. I crashed…

Going against all the best advice in the world, I flew the drone over water. Scary.

All my documented flights so far have been in the evening. Today was able to get out of bed early enough, but did miss the sunrise.

Another flight above farm fields. Starting to think I live near an agriculture community. If you need footage of farms, I’m your man. Love the shot of parallel lines with some S-curves in there. Wonder what happened?

And just like that, I realized you can pivot the camera gimbal upward. Thank you Mr. Airplane Pilot. I see you. We are both men of the sky.
