I'd call this the first serious flight after the May 31 M3 FW update.
Didn't play with the tele features, as there were no adequate subjects.


GPS lock timing definitely improved. By the time my RC Pro was up, M3 was all ready to go with 20 satellites locked in.

Flew to my former sunset spot (the area is actually called Sunset Hills) and took a few frames, plus some on the way back.

#1 Cylindrical Smile



#2 Spherical Smile



#3 Fence line



#4 Halfway home



Thank you for stopping by!

Man Darth those clouds are breathtaking.

Thanks, Fred!
We do get lucky sometimes!

Like the double line smile.

Really dramatic shots Darth.

The lead in line on number 3 is quite something Darth.  

Magnificent shots Darth.    Glad that the latest FW update has helped smooth out some of the M3 issues.  

Hope you are having a great weekend.

Nr 3 is my favorite.
But I like them all!

I'm still looking to putting tele to a good use, and definitely waiting for other stuff, but yeah, much better compared to what we had in November.
You too!

I was concerned it would be a bit cheesy, but apparently it does not.

Hopefully, the things you are waiting on for the M3 will not take another 6 months like this one did.

Its like two different worlds separated by a line.  

Stunning photo of the majestic night sky! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Those smile pics are pretty inventive, I can really see a face in those :-) The others are good too!

Yeah, the landscape added a hint of a nose, and the sky provided the eyes...

Sometimes cheesy works. ( a bit of it )
