The second sunrise of February.

Took too many shots this morning and now I cant choose which one......





Taken with a lighty used Mini 3 Pro.

Those are some astonishing shots DA.  Easy choice to pick out which one to post.....all of them.  

I can't pick out a favorite one in that bunch.  I thought I had then I really liked details in the next one and so on.  Your efforts to capture the sunrise this morning were well rewarded.

Thanks DT,


I really struggled too,  I did have to pick one though for IG and 1SE and for that I went for the second to last.   Mostly due to the contrails being lit up pink.

Thanks DT,

My pleasure DA.  

Yeah, those contrails really stand out in that color.  No doubt it was a productive morning for getting some amazing shots.

Sadly it was a bit too windy for comfort,  although Im beginning to see a correlation with a nice sunrise with lots of color to string winds.

I'm sure the strong winds do effect cloud formations.  Kind of a trade off when it comes to fly/no-fly too windy to get those amazing shots.

Yes,   we need just the right balance for sure.

Yeah, and that is really hard to determine until you are on site and ready to fly.

Thats especially true here,  I can walk through town in the morning and think how calm it ism. but get down to the waters edge and its a night and day difference

A bit the same here as it is always windier near the shoreline.  

I sure wish I was able to go fly the drone today.  Weather is predicting a sunny day with a high of 30C and 0% rain.  Winds out of the west at 2 mph with gusts to 8 mph.  Just enough breeze to help cool you off but not effect the drone.  I bet when my collarbone heals I'll hit a stretch of rain and wind.  Oh well, it is what it is.

For some reason I thought that once the cast was off that a bit of droning would count as light duties,   especially a flight over the property to see if the deer are visiting.

It's hard to hold RC and launch and recover with the same hand.  Not allowed to lift right arm more than about 6 inches at this time.

I forgot you hand launch from your boat.  Only a few more weeks to wait.  

Like the one with red plane streaks most.

Good choice,   thats the one I picked for my Instagram post this morning.

Thanks Mr B.   Good to see you got up.


Yes,   It seems the consensus that the last two are the best.   2nd to last for me.

Cheek. We were both up at 06h55 this morning
A visit to Buxton for brunch and some shopping.
Early results from the Action2 on a lanyard are disappointing - even using the Rocksteady option

So you had a nice lie in then.

Hows was the traffic getting to Buxton,  is it getting better.  

Can you return the action with 14 days lije the drones?

Bus journey takes 20 mins extra.
Return within 14 days?  I haven't checked.
But I haven't finished evaluating it yet.

Looking in the dji store app it does say 14 day return and refund service.

It would be the last resort.  I've just been out for a quick walk throught the Torrs to test the various settings. I'll see what the results look like when I've downloaded them.

Nice shots, difficult to choose the favorite.

Very nice captures!

Awful weather here this morning. Constant rain.

Thats a shame,   Just overcast here with a little wind picking up.    But today is going to be lost to shopping I think.

Yeah, I just have to be patient and hope that the weather continues to be nice when I'm able to fly again.

Winds are 27mph at the moment although there is some sun but Ive already had a long outing this morning so I probably wont head out again,  that and Ive missed high tide now.

Tomorrow is oyster bed day.

DAFlys Posted at 2-3 00:39
Thanks,  did you pick your favourite?

You're welcome.
Not really. They are all nice and detailed.

So one doesn't stand out more than the others to you?
