My apologies if you were expecting a picture of a rural idyll, or thought this thread should be in the Nature section.
This is the village of Hayfield, in north Derbyshire - the jumping-off point for treks around the Dark Peak and Kinder Scout.
Many years ago it used to boast its own railway station, at the end of a branch line. But that succumbed to
Dr.Beeching's axe in the early 1960's.  The former route is now converted into the lovely Sett Valley walking trail.

I think you could do with a bit of zoom on that.

Patience, I'll do just that

Very still and foggy here today,  hoping to fly to the end of the prom in maldon for another viking encounter.

Zooming in 2x and 4x.  At maximum zoom the hazy weather plays havoc with the definition.

It was semi-decent yesterday. Rain again this morning.

I'll fly a bit closer next time.  I was well outside the village limits, as you can see.

Great shots! Thanks for sharing!!

I like the first pic best - less village, more countryside!

The close-ups were a request from DAFly

Lovely capture (and a bit of a sad story for me ;) )

Why so sad??

It's something I need more practice with

Former railroad. We have that a lot here in NL too.

How does the video look zoomed in?

Ah yes, the countryside here is littered with them. But in probably every case, they have been converted into bridleways and footpaths. so creating a wonderful amenity.

A bit hazy, to be honest. I think it's a function that will work best in full sunlight and clear skies.

Similar here.
And in many other places I guess.
Too bad, I would have loved to be able to take the train to almost everywhere.,

I get that.
I wonder how stable it is.

Back in the '70s British Rail advertised their flagship service with the jingle "This is the Age of the Train". But since then rail services in the UK have become an embarrassment.

Oh the drone is stable enough - no problem there.

The '70 was when the road took over (sadly)

I mean the footage.
When you zoom in and move around.
It is not often that I see that kind of footage.

Leading to traffic congestion everywhere and the decline of the railways

Yeah, I'd seen that - still had to get my 50 cents in...

OIC.  You mean flying around with the setting on maximum zoom.  I haven't tried that, most of the zooming i've done is with the drone hovering stationary in the air.  I'll put it on the "to do" list.

Very nice captures

Impressive capture Blériot.  Sorry to hear the railroad no longer exists but at least turning them into hiking trails is a plus.

Thanks ckat. Greetings to you

Yes, we enjoy a walk along that track now and again. It's about an hour each way.

Great shot.

Great shot.

Thanks Woe. It's a neat little village at the end of  the walking trail.

Blériot53 Posted at 11-28 03:32

you're welcome Captain

I'm sure there are many neat things along that path to break up the hour long walk each way.
