Again, I'd like to start with the caveat: this is Grand Canyon, but not the National Park, so flying here is legal.
Took my M3 out during sunset time



Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there DarthSLR. Good day and thank you for posting this epic panoramic photo that you have shot and created. Great work and it is great to stop by. .

Great to find a place to legally fly. And it's certainly worth it...

Thousands of square miles of nothingness that you can't fly over. Seems crazy. And yet you found a great spot to practice your art. Great work.

Lovely shot Darth,   A little darker than normal.   

Awesome pano Darth, I always enjoy your panos as they are just stunning and speaking of my own taste and style I love the dark essence to this and the colors in this shot.

What a spectacular pano Darth.    Fantastic job!

Stunning Image

Yeah, the park no-fly zone starts about a mile away.

Well, it’s general policy for national parks. Otherwise I can imagine the chaos.
But yeah, …

Thank you! I just wish next FW will give us an option to NOT to assemble the pano in flight…

I know,    no street lights here,   which is lovely really.

Chaos?  Out there?  Did you see another soul?

Not where/when I was. But if you have ever been on the official park grounds, it's a veritable zoo. Add a whole bunch of rookies with flying apparatuses, and there will be tons of those at the bottom...

Haha.  I see.  A scrap collector's paradise

The problem is, these scraps will be irretrievable. Besides, you can imagine how annoying it would be if at any given moment there would be several of these things in the air... So as much as I love flying, I think it was a smart decision to ban drones in the national parks.

Well you have certainly got plenty of alternatives, if your recent work is anything to go by

Ok, well I’m a happy person by heart I just like dark filters an effects on photos.

That might be asking too much out of the DJI software team.  Heck, they still haven't figured out the GPS issues yet and that's been going on for over 7 months.

Very true Darth.   Are you camping there?

Yes, we were, for a few days.

Nice,  I saw potato jet did that last year and it looked a magical place to visit.  

DarthSLR Posted at 5-21 07:59
Thanks, you too!

You're welcome.    Been a busy weekend trying to video my grandson racing his new go kart.  The go kart track has extensive rules to follow when filming the racing with a drone.  Fortunately, the Skydio 2+ does an excellent job when it comes to sport's tracking.
