Victory Blvd after the Spring Stroll
I would have like to film this during the event but it was to crowded to fly safely.

Lovely footage.    Looks like the weather cooperated for the Spring Stroll as there was still a lot of people out and about.

Yes I caught the tail end because it was too crowded during the height of the event. I had better footage but forgot to turn the camera on .

  I thought I was the only one that made that rookie mistake.

I do it about 10% of the time. I was nervous about the crowd. I did some wonderful maneuvers and forgot to throw the camera on. All of the good views were gone and here I am filming the garbage.

Not garbage at all.  Just got to take what you can.

I was doing  some nice circles to get the band and risking traffic and people, wasting battery waiting for the right times. When I had 25% battery left as I was landing i noticed the video wasn't on. That is so frustrating.

Nice flight in town Charles.

Happens to all of us at one time or another.  Your focus was more on safety of flight which is where it should be.

Thanks, I left the camera off for the most populated parts which is frustrating. It was crowded and I got nervous. Later I got plenty of footage but nothing showing th bands and groups.

Thanks. The people interested in the crowds. Just gave me a big wetlands job and I wanted to show them what I could do with tourism. This didn't show to much but it wa sa fun flight.

You're very welcome Charles.  That could open even more opportunities in the future also.

I'm hoping so.

I'm hoping so.

Could also lead to other referrals as well.

The wetlands project is going to get some notariety. It is a grant money project for industry. I am waiting to go out on a tour and see what they want. They have a $5,000 budget for the video. I would like to give them something really nice.

Sounds like that could be quite the big project and may be lucrative for you.

Yes I'm looking forward to it. Once it's built I'm hoping it's something I can hang my hat on.

Looks like it was a nice day for the event, anyway.

That's a great goal to have.

We got beautiful weather but not enough participation from the stores, which resulted in a lower turnout.

Disappointing, l guess

There is definitely a change in retailers reaching out to the customer. The skill of person to person communication and catering has been lost.  The world is suffering for it. But todays youth doesn't crave socialization

If it's not in an App on their phone, they're not interested

You said it. It's true.

Never hurts to have that proverbial old carrot at the end of the stick for motivation.

That's it. We are always chasing that piece of cheese.

Seems we are.  

Very interesting to see!
